MAGICAL! This game has brought me so much joy and happiness to my soul

Quake Live is BY FAR THE BEST fps game of all time

<3

Let me take you back... to 2014.

I wasn't much of a PC gamer, actually at this point I had an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro and a 2.4ghz Pentium Core Duo. This didn't last long, the computer at the time was on its way out and after playing copious amounts of CS, I had the PC fever. I was hooked, my PS4 was collecting dust at this point and meanwhile I had wiped the dust off an old XP laptop I found lying around.

I can't remember the exact specs for the laptop but this was when Windows 8.1 was the most up-to-date OS, XP was ancient at this point and I didn't have any games to play except flash browser games. It was only lucky I could get Quake Live running at 60fps on lowest graphics, at this point Quake Live wasn't even on steam, you would go on a website and acquire it for free.

I still remember playing on the Intel sponsored maps which are now available in the Steam Workshop, there are also plenty more maps that have been preserved in the workshop such as Springfield from The Simpsons and plenty of different community map packs.

Although the game isn't free anymore, there is some value to be had if you have interest in playing Quake 3 Arena. For example, setting up the original Quake 3 Arena can be a real pain for modern systems due to system compatibility, not only that, the playerbase has all but withered away and from the looks of it, Id doesn't plan anytime soon on giving it the NightDive treatment nor has made any effort to update compatibility.

Your best option is to play Quake Live, it basically is Quake 3 Arena with full widescreen support and modern features available that would usually require manual file edits and looking all over forums and modding sites to gather fixes, not only this but modding has been made simple via steam workshop and out of all the online Quake games, this would most likely be the most populated.

A certified classic!

wish i was better

good as always

This game is still surprisingly being played today. There is about 250-300 players at each given time, with custom servers, different gamemodes, Workshop maps and skinds and all...
Now they are not THAT friendly to new players (I got ♥♥♥♥ talked on my *first* game) and they have this loud = funny mentality, spamming sound clips - most of them being NSFW.
All in all it's fun to play an arena shooter with the mobility and weapon sets of old school games like that, and you will definitely find people to play with you, but at that point it's a community that is quite high level now, don't expect a positive K/D ratio on your first day.
