Quake Live Getting Six New Maps, First Hits Today

Related Topics – Quake Live, PC

As the open beta for Quake Live--id's free-to-play web-based update of Quake III continues--the developer has kicked off a new "6 new maps in 6 weeks" initiative.

The company promises "a mix of new and classic maps," with today seeing the addition of the "Hidden Fortress" map from the Dreamcast iteration of Quake III Arena.

"Already considered the best new arena created for QUAKE III Dreamcast, we chose to make very few changes in bringing this classic map to QUAKE LIVE," wrote id. "The arena was originally created by Martin Kaai Cluney, a designer for [Q3DC porting studio] Raster Productions. Kaai is now a designer at id Software working on the RAGE team."

Great game, great concept. Enjoyed it for a couple weeks and then stopped playing because i kept getting matched again difficult players and since i want to enjoy the little time i have for fps gaming these days, i stopped since i can't easily choose an easy game anymore, which makes it too frustrating.

I wonder why no site makes a review of Quake Live, it would be nice for the extra attention to the game. Yeah, everybody knows Quake 3 Arena, but still i think a review could be done and focus in this new style of game as a web service, with friend list, matchmaking, integrated interface, achievements, etc.

God knows Quake Live is so much better implemented than BF Heroes :P

I've played this pretty much every day since the closed beta days but one day i tried to joined and all of the populated public servers had clans on playing and I was either ask to leave or I was kicked. I never played again. My question is what is the correct word to describe me ? Fag is the first one I know but what other word.

It kills me that all of my recent involvement with QL has been as a frequent posted on the "Quakelive freezes ... along with my whole computer" thread on their tech support forum.

The one game that gives me any problems at all on my desktop system, and it's from almost 10 years ago. I blame Punkbuster.
