  • CaptZomborg, on 07/21/2008, -2/+31I'm probably going to have to break up with my girlfriend when this game comes out.
    • bdub92, on 07/21/2008, -4/+13*joke about digg users and their lack of girlfriends*
      • b33b3s, on 07/21/2008, -8/+5*joke about *joke about digg users and their lack of girlfriends**
      • cplex, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7How about I Quake Live your face?
    • floridiot2, on 07/21/2008, -0/+11But you'll need both of your hands to play..
    • dafragsta, on 07/21/2008, -7/+4Yeah, I was soo pumped for this game when it came out 9 years ago.
      • CaptZomborg, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1it's not the game itself everyone is excited for. it's the game coupled with all the leaderboard and other features.
  • likwidtek, on 07/21/2008, -0/+23I'd hit it.
    • zaii7, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I called shotgun
    • Dominicc2003, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Are you talking about the game or CaptZomborg's soon-to-be ex?
  • MrSpiffy, on 07/21/2008, -1/+24DENIED.
  • angers, on 07/21/2008, -0/+17Would anyone be kind enough to offer some of their invites to digg users?
    • roflcaeks, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5They disabled invites last week since it will be open beta soon.
  • Sp1k3, on 07/21/2008, -2/+13Bring on the mods too! Quake 3 Fortress anyone??
    • diizy, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1DEFRAG TIME! So excited for more strafing!
  • bdickason, on 07/21/2008, -18/+4What's the point of being browser-based if you don't support mac?
  • Slashered, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10The return of deathmatch to the masses, hopefully (Halo does not count, you are not strafe jumping around corners)
    • Diggnabbit, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1You can strafe jump in Halo. Can't you?
      • Trigonometron, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3yes
      • Slashered, on 07/21/2008, -0/+13sorry, I take that back. it is strafe jumping, but compared to Quake it's the Olympic athlete verse my grandpa with hip replacement surgery
  • schmiggyjk, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8This is going to own faces. Quake 3 was the last 1v1 DM game I really got in to and I can't wait to get in to this.
    • EricAnderton, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3Right there with you bub.

      Personally I can't justify another console + XBOL membership. Free + Quake = Awesome.
  • radiopayola, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5I really hopes this takes off...
  • Pasqualz, on 07/21/2008, -3/+3What technology is this built on? If this brings a good consistent game experience, it will be a tremendous boost to browser based games! Put simply, this could be the "Quake" of browser based games!!!
    • 9mmCensor, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6It is built on the Quake 3 engine.
  • alecks, on 07/21/2008, -1/+6This is browser based? Anyone know what it's written in? Java? Flash? Custom plugin?
    • 9mmCensor, on 07/21/2008, -0/+11It installs as a plugin to the browser.
    • raisedinhell, on 07/22/2008, -2/+3why anyone would even consider the possibility that it's written in java or flash is beyond me...
  • Marglar, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1I loved quake 2, and 3 wasn't half bad! Quake 4 really took a turn for the worst though.

    Here's to hoping they preserve the elements that made q3 great - and yes, please allow mods( RA3!)
  • byttle, on 07/21/2008, -5/+9iphone?
  • Mikhail101, on 07/21/2008, -9/+2To be honest, nothing special. Ive played quake 3 for a long time and all the character models and weapons are in it, this is nothing really that new. They should have made it for the q4 engine imho. Or made up new character models and weapons ground up.
    • recruz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+10dood- it's in the web browser. that's re-donk.
    • Zuggy, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Quake 3 in a browser for free. Good enough to grab my attention
  • Nicksname1, on 07/21/2008, -1/+13Sign up to be a BetaTester here:

    http://www.quakelive.com/
    • 9mmCensor, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6Its still a closed beta now, and the beta invites are going out to QuakeCon attendees now. Get on the list ASAP cause this game is awesome.

      /me loves the Beta
  • grey580, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3I can almost taste the gibbs. yum!
  • HumanGlitch, on 07/21/2008, -10/+1what does PC and HD mean?
  • dasdef, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1woot strafe jumping
  • diggB, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Totally Free. Wow. So, what's the catch?
    • neocr0n, on 07/21/2008, -1/+13In game advertising.
      • iloveliberals, on 07/21/2008, -9/+0Seriously? Advertising is one of the ugliest side-effects of capitalism. All these freaking in-your-face ads everywhere, on everything. Oh, wait, google's entire business model is based on advertising, so I guess it must be a-okay.
      • tenio, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4and what would your solution be?

        give up your first born?

        companies need to make $ some how...
    • Slashered, on 07/21/2008, -0/+19John Carmack on the advertising:

      "It's worth noting that I've never been a big supporter of in-game advertising in conventional games because I definitely do feel that if you're playing 50 to 60 bucks for a game, throwing advertising in on top of it is…there's a justifiable reason for some people to be upset about that. Quake Arena was always much more of a sporting arena combat sort of thing where integrating advertising directly into the game doesn't even feel like a tacky bolt-on. In fact what we've done with Quake Live is all of the original levels have been passed over and brought up to a modern level of polish where eight or nine years ago when Quake Arena would have been out, the state of the industry accepted a lot of things like mismatched texture seams and things that just weren't quite up to the level of attention to detail that we follow now. All the levels have had a pass through them bringing the attention to detail to modern standards without changing anything fundamentally in the graphics engine, just touching up all the data. They've also then been modified so that all the levels have billboard type things in them which are nicely integrated with spotlight lighting and so on in there where we can stream in-game ads as well as of course things that happen on the scoreboard and when you die and so on. It's a perfect fit for this type of thing because it's not a matter of taking some game we just happened to have around and throwing up ads that you can't skip in between every level or something like that, it fits well with the original tone of the game."
      • macweirdo42, on 07/21/2008, -0/+11I really like this approach - if I'm gonna have to put up with in-game advertising, I'd better damn well get something for it. There's nothing worse than paying for advertising.
  • Zyrisk, on 07/21/2008, -0/+43... 2... 1... FIGHT! I hope I can load my own config.
    • octodd, on 07/22/2008, -1/+0yeah if you can load old q3 configs and they use OSP and or CPMA mods it will ROCK!
  • karrtoon, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7this is awesome, if they release rocket arena 3 i'll be in heaven!
  • ixid, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Play more Quake.
  • d3c4y, on 07/21/2008, -1/+10Been playing the beta for a while now, it rocks!

    Cant wait for it to go public!
  • jellydoughnut21, on 07/21/2008, -12/+3No, i will not download that piece of ***** quicktime media player and all the crap apple tacks onto it just to view this trailer. I hate apple.
    • DynamiteMonkey, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Quicktime is an ***** that hijacks your settings and refuses to change them back even if you change the application settings and file associations back manually.

      You can grab QT Lite, it's a Quicktime alternative. Haven't touched quicktime since it hijacked my *****.
    • pushmouse, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6you don't need quicktime to view this.
  • silentdragoon, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1I'll go all in!
  • socketman, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1Eh... no gore or gibs or even blood splash ?

  • 9mmCensor, on 07/21/2008, -8/+1http://quakelivetv.blogspot.com/

    What superstar Quake players do you want to see duel 1v1 in QuakeLive? Vote now...
  • TheSfid, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4I think I just felt my productivity level plummet.

    My wife's gonna kill me.
  • joemofo214, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3patiently waiting for quakecon
  • pudds, on 07/21/2008, -7/+1Q2 > Q]I[
    • Zyrisk, on 07/21/2008, -1/+0I haven't played Quake 2. What's better about it?
  • mouthbreether, on 07/21/2008, -1/+6greatest... game... ever.
  • Megatog615, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1Anyone know if it's possible to play against Quake III: Arena players in QL?
    • gdgi, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8it's a standalone game.
    • macweirdo42, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6All of the maps have been tweaked, and the game-setup system has been completely modernized, with features like matchmaking and such.
  • Macuyiko, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12q3dm17... here I come.
  • kitaljevich, on 07/21/2008, -8/+1no
  • MrContent, on 07/21/2008, -6/+2Meh...
  • macweirdo42, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Less time being teases and more time releasing this to the public, please!
  • wxdotz, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I haven't played any of the Quakes since II. Will this have the map Edge? That's all I care about.
    • Slashered, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3The Edge was not a Quake 3 map, so I doubt it.

      I'm a Quake 2 player myself so I've been running around on Edge for years and years, doing backwards jumps from the stairs to the YA to the top of the box near the mega, to the mega, and back again.
      • Abomonog, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1Actually it was a Q3 map. It's just slightly different than the Q2 version. (bigger for one)
  • pathouston22, on 07/21/2008, -0/+13I feel sorry for my employer!
  • matriculated, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Wow - that brings back memories. I hope they bring in the maps from Quake 1 and 2 as well.
  • pathouston22, on 07/21/2008, -7/+2I feel sorry for my employer!
  • DMDekoth, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4Well, I personally liked Quake 3 for all the different mods. Being browser based, me thinks this won't be possible.

    Jail break please!
  • badmadbob, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3now i want tribes live
  • Abomonog, on 07/21/2008, -2/+1Will it be compatible with my old Q3A installation?
    • Slashered, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2no, this will be a standalone game played through your browser.
  • squiff, on 07/21/2008, -6/+1wow.... DX7 gfx
  • NanoStuff, on 07/21/2008, -2/+5http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37086.html?type ...

    Less quicktime suckage.
  • xerosawyer, on 07/21/2008, -6/+2ql is for noobs. lolllll
    • Cirrius, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4actually it is skill based matches with the pro players populating the highest skill tier, and the noobs sticking to the lower levels.
  • JustinHopewell, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Graphics are definitely a little dated looking, but at least more people will be able to play it. And hell, its free, so you can't really complain!
  • viacombusta, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Will it work on a Mac browser?
    • SkinnyPuppy, on 07/22/2008, -3/+6Doesn't it suck having to even ask that question?
    • Cimlite, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2They said it would come for the Mac as well last year... if that still stands I have no idea though.

      If it does they have been real quiet about it lately.
  • rookworm, on 07/22/2008, -2/+2looked better on my voodoo 3 :p
  • iliketuna, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5my erection is lasting more than 4 hours!!
    • 1892, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1you should probably consult your physician
    • blackula01, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Don't you mean more than 4 seconds?
    • Darksoul, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1I would not laugh about that when they asperate your dick with a big ***** needle you wont be laughing. Btw it means they stick a big needle in your dick and pump out the blood making your dick hard. Sounds like fun doesn't it?
