It took the successful elements of the multiplayer from the previous games in the series, adapting and balancing them to produce a game which would quickly become a favourite for online gamers, LAN parties and competitive tournament gamers alike.Įven after a decade, the gameplay of Quake III stands strong in its new browser-based form. Unlike its predecessors, which included substantial single-player campaigns, Quake III was designed from the ground up as a multiplayer game. Quake Live is a browser-based version of Quake III Arena, id Software’s fast-paced, action-packed first-person shooter from 1999. They’ve worked on some of the earliest three-dimensional games and spearheaded hardware rendering with Quake, but with Quake Live, they return to one of their older games in order to try a new approach with new technologies.
And these guys fighting at QuakeCon 2013 are the very best Quake Live players in the world.Id Software has a history of pushing the boundaries of computer game design, and working on the edge of computing and graphical rendering technology.
Quake Live is based on Quake 3 Arena which, behind Quake 2, was one of the best games in the whole wide world. "If you're using Mac and Linux and have a paid subscription, you will only be able to access the game using emulation or virtualisation software." "While we have reports from our testers that the game works through emulation or virtualisation software, we are unable to support native Mac and Linux versions. "We will be unable to support Mac and Linux clients with this transition," id wrote. Unfortunately, Mac and Linux players will be collateral in the change over. "Some of these benefits will be apparent from day one: getting in and out of games is a smoother experience, and you will be able to view server pings from the match browser before joining the game to better judge connection quality." "This change will allow us to have greater control over the game environment, and more tightly integrate the game with the online components going forward," explained id Software. Id Software will pull Quake Live out of a browser and make it a standalone game by the end of the year.īrowsers like Firefox and Chrome gradually outlawing plug-ins provided id Software with the nudge it needed to make the move.
