If you’re the sort of guy or gal who likes to get your frag on, but you’re low on funds, listen up. Id Software’s miraculous Quake Live project – wherein the company has managed to squeeze the ultra frantic multiplayer FPS into a web browser – is now in its beta stage and ready for the public to play. According to Kotaku, all you need to do is register, download a browser plug-in, and start fragging.
Obviously, this is one hell of a technical achievement. Most people think “browser game” means a game is casual, based on flash, and super-simple, but Quake Live blows that idea right out of the water. Of course, the best part is the glorious free-ness of it all.
The official site is boasting “over 40 arenas and 5 game modes”, and the company is actively seeking gamers of all skill levels (they practically have a “newbs welcome” sign out), so there’s no reason not to partake in the gory joy.
