May 18, 2009 11:03am CST tags: Quake Live
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."
