Disclaimer Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Didn't know if any people on here were Quake fans. I'm not a diehard, but I've played the series of games and they're good time wasters when you want to put down the CoD, GRAW, GoW, Halo, and L4D.Basically the id Software people started a web-browser based Quake 3 Arena game that's free to the public. It's pretty true to the old game. I dabbled a little with it last night, and it runs pretty good on Firefox 3 with my 6 year old 2Ghz, 512MB Ram, and 64MB GeForce 3 GPU, computer.Articles on it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_Zerohttp://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/02/25/id-software-hopes-quake-live-lasts-at-least-a-decade/http://www.onlinemassivelymultiplayer.com/upcoming-mmorpgs/quake-live-open-beta-aka-quake-zero-launches-february-24-2009/The Site:http://www.quakelive.com/My tag/handle on the site isn't hard to figure out.

Disclaimer Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, the Queue is normal. It'll take a few minutes to setup, just go about your business and let it 'queue' in the background... then you might have to download a 3.8MB-ish file (browser extension) then log back into Quake Live and re-queue again. After that, you should be money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporty105 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 OK, i closed the window the queue was in and after your last post was gonna check it out and re-opemed the link and it took me right back to the queue and the number is now 33,xxx. weird, i guess you have to click ont he "leave queue" button to really leave the site.
