So today I got around to trying out Quake Live, which went into open beta the other day. If you didn’t know already, Quake Live is very similiar to Quake 3, with the exception that it’s played in a browser.
My first impression is that it seems to have quite some potential, however I won’t be playing it in the near future, as there’s too many bugs left to be able to enjoy it properly. For example, I couldn’t even play through the “warmup match”[1] without QL crashing several times (in both Firefox and IE7, which are the only supported browsers at the moment).
So now I’m looking forward to trying it again in a couple of months or so.
- You play against a bot to estimate your skill level, so QL can set you up against opponents with a similiar skill level. [↩]
