Quake Live for Mac and Linux Users

Mac Emulators — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:34:42 +0000

I feel like I’ve dropped the ball big time on this one. I was one of the beta users almost a year ago when this was first created but, I was using a Windows PC. I’ve played it several times on my PC and had some good old fashion fun. Now, it is available for Mac and Linux users. The plugin downloads quickly and installs easily. The content is then installed through your web browser of choice and that takes several minutes but, is worth the wait. For those of you who are looking to play Quake 3 Area online in your web browser, look no further. I haven’t played a FPS that is this fast paced since well, Quake 3 Arena. Be prepared to take some time to get your fragging legs back. I get really good performance in Firefox but, the web site says that it works with Safari too. Click on the link below to sign up and create a FREE Quake Live account and start fragging in no time at all.

Kostenloses Browsergame Quake Live

han09 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:35:26 +0000

Zunächst war dieses, durch Werbung finanzierte Browsergame als Quake Zero konzipiert. Bis auf den Namen hat sich jedoch kaum etwas am geplanten Prinzip geändert. Seit Februar 2009 ist Quake Live für jedermann verfügbar. Um neben der grossen Quakegemeinschaft auch andere für diesen schnellen Ego-Shooter zu begeistern, wurde vor allem darauf geachtet, dass die technischen Anforderungen möglichst gering sind. Es basiert auf der Quake III Arena Engine , die mittlerweile 10 Jahre alt ist. So kann man auch mit seinem Arbeitsrechner problemlos die Mittagspausen verdaddeln.

Inhaltlich hat es nur kleinere Veränderungen gegeben. So wurde in Quake Live auf Gewaltdarstellungen wie z.B. Blut verzichtet. Es stehen dem Spieler fünf verschiedene Spielmodi zur Verfügung. Neben Capture the Flag, Clan Arena, Team Death Match und Free for All, kann man sich im Modus Duel beweisen.

Mir hat vor allem die Serversuche gefallen, die sich auf die Erfahrung des Spielers einstellt. Diese wird durch das Tutorial ermittelt und berücksichtig dann die erspielten Statistiken des Spielers. So werden einem dann im Servermenü bestimmte Server empfohlen, die den eigenen Fähigkeiten nahe kommen. Hier können auch bestimmte Spielmodi oder Spiele in denen sich gerade Freunde aus der Friendslist befinden, bevorzugt angezeigt werden. Die eigenen Statistiken, die von anderen Spielen oder internationale Leaderboards lassen sich jederzeit einsehen. Auch die Informationen der letzten gespielten Partien lassen sich nachschlagen. So ist es möglich auch Tage nach einem gespielten Match, Spieler mit denen man gerne gespielt hat zur eigenen Freundesliste hinzuzufügen.

Für alle, die sich als Quaker bezeichnen oder diejenigen unter euch, die es einmal werden wollen, ihr solltet einmal bei Absolute Frenzy vorbeischauen. Hier findet ihr eine aktive Community die euch neben allen Spielen der Quake Serie auch über Left 4 Dead informiert. Sie organisieren Turniere und unterrichten euch über solche. Absolute Frenzy verfügt über diverse Server, auf denen ihr euch messen könnt. Ich habe das Logo für alle Interessierte verlinkt.

Euphemism

rypic7 — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:12:55 +0000

For those who don’t know, I have an unhealthy addiction to playing Quake Live. Don’t think this deserves me geek cred because it doesn’t – sadly Quake Live is the first version of Quake I have ever played. I’m not a cool hardcore fan whose followed the series since the original. And I say that without sarcasm.

However, even in my mind, skill and addiction to playing an online game is no cause for respect. If anything, in the real world, probably the opposite. However, Quake Live has a nice way of making its players feel better for becoming socially retarded introverts. I recently recieved this award after a pretty intense game where I likely dominated:

Congratulatioins! You wasted 100 hours of your life!

I am now a member of an elite group of 12,865 loosers who have wasted 100 hours playing this game. Right. Respect is definitely the correct word.

"Quake II" Demo Impressions

Josh (josh60502) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:42:51 +0000

Quake II? As in the one that came out in 1997? You’d better believe it. People probably aren’t buying Quake II anymore, but I still want to put my impressions of the demo up… just because.

So, first off, why did I bother to play the Quake II PC demo? Well, I saw it on Steam today and thought I’d give it a look. I’ve been reading a book lately about id Software, and the Quake series is one of the things they are most famous for. Quake Live, the free-to-play, multiplayer-only browser adaptation of the series is the only Quake game I had played, and I wanted to change that with this demo.

My immediate impressions were, “Seriously? These are the graphics?” Everything had a very pixelated look, even though all the environments and characters were in total 3D. The next thing I noticed were the controls… specifically how the arrow keys were used to move and W, A, S, and D did nothing. At first I couldn’t find a way to look up or down, so I assumed Quake II would be like Doom, where your shots hit enemies as long as you directly face them, regardless of their elevation. That thought got thrown out the window as soon as some demented looking thing started shooting at me from below a staircase, and my shots aimed towards it but not directly at it did nothing. So, messing around in the options menu, I turned on the “free aim” (why exactly would that not always be on?) and changed the button configuration to match my preference – specifically, using W and S to move and A and D to strafe.

Now that I could finally navigate the game, I could actually focus on the action at hand. The demo consisted of only one level (not counting the multiplayer portion; I tried to find a server to log on to, but of course I didn’t find one) split up into a few different sections. The location was standard id affair – a base on some distant planet overrun with demonic, heavily armed bad guys. I couldn’t tell exactly what the story was despite a staticy radio voice buzzing in my ear the whole time, but I did appreciate the atmosphere the ambient noises created. I never felt scared or anything like that, but there was a sense of being in only a small part of a larger conflict, as distant explosions could be heard in the background.

The guns were cool, but some felt a little overpowered. At the beginning each enemy posed a threat because I had nothing but a pistol, but once I started finding things like the chaingun and the super shotgun, everybody took just one or two hits before exploding into bloody, 1997-quality gibs. Even the boss at the very end went down easily, so I can’t help but wonder whether all the weapons in the demo were put there just so people could see what was available in the real game, or if they are really supposed to be there. If the latter is true, then Quake II’s main challenge comes from simply trying to find out where to go next. I had a couple times where I was confused, but ultimately I was able to find the right path, so in the demo at least, navigation isn’t too much of an issue for Quake II.

When I reached the end after about 20 minutes, I immediately uninstalled the demo. It wasn’t bad, but it was dated. I certainly wasn’t going to go back to it time and time again, anyway. If you’re interested in retro 3D shooters as I am at the moment, go ahead and download the demo from Steam or some other place on the internet. For those wishing to stick to a better version of Quake, I say go play Quake Live.

¿Conocías... Quake Live? (1ª Parte)

Dunex — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:02:42 +0000

Hoy, en mi primera entrada “seria” en el blog, me apetece hablar de un juego que está dando mucho que hablar últimamente, por si el título de la entrada y el Banner que está encima de este texto no te son suficiente para averiguar de que hablamos, pues te lo diré yo: Quake Live.

Y muchos se preguntarán ¿qué es eso? Pues es ni más ni menos que una copia de Quake 3 oficial y gratis, jugable desde un navegador web, y muchos se creerán que por ser gratis y de navegador será un mal juego, pero no, está muy logrado y es bastante entretenido.

Es prácticamente igual que en todos los juegos de la famosísima saga Quake: Matar (fraggear) otros jugadores con un gran arsenal de armas y capacidad de movimiento a tu disposición, ya sea contra jugadores controlados por la máquina, que contra gente del todo mundo, en equipo, o todos contra todos.

Lo único necesario para jugar es registrar una cuenta (que no se tarda más de 5 minutos) y instalar el plug-in del juego para el navegador (en Firefox al menos funciona de maravilla el juego), y actualizar tal (que por cierto, la actualización me dio problemas, tenía que estar dándole todo el rato a F5 porque se paraba).

Según se instala el plugin, mientras actualiza el juego se puede pasar un rato jugando en la fase de entrenamiento, donde una jugadora controlada por la máquina con más pecho que cabeza te enseñará lo básico del juego y determinará tu nivel de destreza, para así la web aconsejarte servidores de gente con la misma experiencia que tú.

Miss Pechugona

También cabe indicar que funciona en todas las plataformas (Windows, Linux y Mac).

Bueeno… cómo no sé terminar este post introductorio, lo dejaré por aquí y ya continuaré otro día con las configuraciones, armas, cómo jugar y demás, lo dejo por aquí ahora.

¡Hasta la próxima!

Quake Live – o tura mica

Alin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:21:10 +0000

Am dat o tura prin Quake Live, dar a trecut atat de mult timp de cand nu l-am mai jucat incat sunt praf – nu mai sunt in stare de frag-uri spectaculoase deloc, ce zic eu frag-uri – nu mai stiu sa tin arma in mana si sa trag cu ea . In mod cert trebuie sa ma antrenez, dar sa vad daca resusesc sa-mi fac timp – d-aia nu-i bine sa existe prea multe jocuri ca lumea – nu mai stii pe care sa te joci, uiti de unele cu lunile si cand revii iti dai seama ce-ai pierdut intre timp .

Per la serie: "Ti piace vincere facile?"

Kumo — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:17:26 +0000

Era agosto, faceva molto caldo, ed io non ero in vacanza. Ero al PC, come sempre, a caccia di notizie. Letto l’annuncio su ESL della SteelSeries Summer Cup ‘09 di Quake Live mi iscrissi e, dopo qualche settimana, si chiusero le iscrizioni: due iscritti al torneo, io e Frusten, giocatore di TrackMania che aveva deciso di provare la sua prima esperienza a più alti livelli. Solo che, quella volta, mancavano davvero i partecipanti d’alto livello. Mi aspettavo un’affluenza maggiore, con i veri pro della scena a battersi, ma questi, a quanto pare, erano tutti partiti per il mare o la montagna.

Così, io, rimasto solo contro un neoarrivato giocatore, una promessa, mi trovavo a poter vincere la mia prima competizione di Quake Live. Non che abbia vinto molto in altre discipline, ma certo a FIFA 08 e Unreal Tournament III avevo già ottenuto degli ottimi piazzamenti in tornei di buon livello. Non è mai bello vincere contro i più deboli senza faticare, senza sudarsi la vittoria, però questa volta era una buona occasione per guadagnare un award di ESL e, si sa, gli achievements li hanno inventati studiando la community dei netgamer, ed io ne faccio parte.

Il giorno della partita mi ero preparato come al solito, tra l’altro era un periodo in cui avevo moltissimo tempo per allenarmi, perciò giocavo in continuazione per non venire beffato da un avversario fresco di ore di allenamenti. La sera, quando Frusten mi contatto e mi diede il suo nickname di Quake Live, scoprii che però lui non aveva ancora giocato quella settimana. Vinsi, ovviamente, con un divario enorme.

A distanza di un mese, ESL ha pubblicato la notizia sul proprio portale ed ho richiesto i premi: Premium Account di 1 mese e Award correlato. Essendo newser di ProGaming Italia e, inoltre, redattore di ESL Italia col ruolo di scrittore di p/review, ho deciso di dare nuovamente in beneficienza il Premium Account. Non è infatti la prima volta che faccio una cosa del genere, tempo fa ne aveva vinto uno Natul.

Stay tuned!

Finalmente l'AGP Tour

Kumo — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:38:56 +0000

Era ora! Il popolo dei quakers aspettava questo momento da qualche anno: l’AGP Tour 2009 è stato lanciato oggi, come recita il titolo ed il comunicato stampa in fondo riportato.
Si tratta nientemeno che di una competizione che si propone di rilanciare gli FPS da duello (quali Quake) nei tornei più prestigiosi. Con questo tour, l’Association of Gaming Professionals non vuole far altro che dare un segnale forte alla community. Quake Live è il gioco giusto per rilanciare gli FPS 1v1? A mio avviso, sì. Speriamo solo che questo tentativo serva davvero a qualcosa, perchè finora i montepremi dedicati al nuovo capitolo della serie Quake sono scarsi, e non siamo ai tempi in cui s’investiva solamente in un torneo di Quake 3. Non bisogna far altro che sperare. Ed iscriversi, a patto di pagare la quota d’iscrizione di circa 30 $: un vero controsenso per un tour che vuole rilanciare qualcosa di un po’ spento, no?

Miami, FL.-September 28, 2009 - VIDA LLC announced today the launching of the first ever international players association in professional gaming and in Quake Live, the AGP (Association of Gaming Professionals). The AGP will unite the players to expand and sustain the sport themselves through player legislation, international and regional rankings, and tournament sponsoring and sanctioning.
“The AGP is the next step in establishing Quake Live and first person shooters as a true professional sport.” said Jarod Reisin, President of VIDA. “The potential of a united players association is bigger than anything we have seen before in professional gaming. It’s proving that progress is happening and that a self sustaining sport is right here in front of us, going nowhere but up.”
Introducing the AGP

Tournament Sponsorships – Beginning in October, the AGP will be sponsoring 24 online tournaments in 2009, 12 in Europe and 12 in North America. Game modes include Duel, Capture the Flag, and Clan Arena.

The AGP Rankings – The AGP Rankings are an international ranking point system that presents a united way for players to always have accurate seedings for tournaments around the world.

Publicidade é bem mais eficaz em jogos violêntos

Gustavo Rodrigues — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:37:22 +0000

Nos últimos tempos, a industria dos games está gostando mesmo de debater, e o principal assunto é a publicidade dentro de videogames, mas um estudo abalou todas as opiniões, não a minha. Um grupo de investigadores da Europa e América chegaram a uma conclusão que pra mim é até lógica, a conclusão deles foram de que os jogadores, nós no caso, se lembram muito mais da publicidade de jogos violentos do que de jogos sem qualquer violência. Mas tenho que admitir que as vezes isso é superado, um exemplo Little Big Planet, veja o sucesso que ele faz sem qualquer violência.

Para chegarem a estes resultados, vários investigadores da Universidade de Luxemburgo criaram um jogo chamado AdRacer que colocava os jogadores para atingirem letreiros publicitários. Existia uma versão violenta desse mesmo jogo onde os jogadores atropelavam peões enquanto o vidro do carro ficava coberto de sangue. Assim que terminavam, os jogadores lembravam-se melhor das publicidades da versão violenta do jogo, ou seja, todo mundo saia de lá com a mente um pouco pertubada.

Contudo, um dos investigadores lançou o aviso de que a introdução de publicidade em jogos violentos pode ter um efeito contrário ao desejado.

Para se ter uma idéia, mesmo que com lucros da publicidade em jogos ultrapasse os 600 milhões de dólares em 2013, a id Software já anunciou que a publicidade em jogo não vai conseguir manter Quake Live, então para salva-lo só um milagre, e isso prova que as vezes essa publicidade pode não ser tão vantajosa, mas que em pelo menos 92% ela é isso eu garanto viu.

9/1 Detailed Change List - QUAKE LIVE Forums

AE. — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:22:13 +0000

9/1 Detailed Change List by marty

Below is a detailed list of gameplay changes in the 9/1 update, including a number of cvar changes and additions.

These are listed in the front page news post:

* FireFox 3.5+ on Mac OSX is now supported.
* Added 2 event leaderboards, QuakeCon 2009 BYOC leaderboard, and QuakeCon 2009 Tournament leaderboard.
* Added Trophy Case awards category.
* Added ‘QuakeCon 2009′ Award presented under ‘Trophy Case’ to any player who completed a game of QUAKE LIVE at QuakeCon 2009.
* Added ‘QuakeCon 2009 Pro’ Award presented under ‘Trophy Case’ to top 3 finishers in Duel and CTF money tournaments at QuakeCon 2009.
* Added ‘QuakeCon 2009 VIP’ Award presented under ‘Trophy Case’ to QuakeCon 2009 staff.
* Added ‘Alienware Quick Draw 09′ Award presented under ‘Trophy Case’ to winners of the Alienware Quick Draw contest at QuakeCon 2009.
* Changed Courtyard Conundrum – qzctf10 The plasmagun and lightninggun have swapped locations.
* Changed Hidden Fortress- qzdm20 Team Deathmatch now only has one powerup – quad, instead of both quad and haste. Free For All now has quad damage and regeneration instead of quad and haste.

These are not listed in the front page news post:

* Added cg_deadBodyDarken (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on will darken ‘bright’ players as soon as they become corpses.
* Added cg_deadBodyColor (default = 0×101010FF) Altering this cvar allows you to customize the color applied to dead bright bodies when cg_deadBodyDarken is enabled.
* Changed shotgun pattern to use 20 pellets in a diffused 3 ring pattern, each dealing 5 damage for a total of 100 damage.
* Added cg_smokeRadius_NG (default = 16) Lowering the value of this cvar will scale the radius of the smoke puffs drawn in the nailgun trails. A value of 0 will entirely disable the smoke trails.
* Added cg_bubbleTrail (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the underwater bubble trails drawn behind many bullets and projectiles while underwater.
* Removed cg_noProjectileTrails due to the addition of the cg_smokeRadius_NG and cg_bubbleTrails.
* Added cg_waterWarp (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the minor under-water warping effected that exists when submerged underwater. The effect has little impact on gameplay but can be induce disorientation in some players.
* Added cg_zoomScaling (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the zooming in / zooming out scaling effect that is used as a transition between your cg_fov and cg_zoomfov; causing the +zoom to act as a quick snap to and from the zoomed fov.
* Added cg_zoomToggle (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on alters the behavior of +zoom such that a single key press will enable zooming and a repeated keystroke disables zooming, no longer requiring players to hold the key down while zooming.
* Added cg_zoomSensitivity (default = 1) The value of this cvar is multiplied to our current zoom sensitivity, allowing the user to increase or decrease their sensitivity while zoomed. A value of 0 will revert the zoomSensitivity code to the Q3 legacy code that was previously available in QuakeLive.
* Added cg_drawFragMessages (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the ‘You Fragged So-and-So’ centerprint message from drawing on your screen. The shorthand obituary will still print to the HUD to make note of any kills.
* Added cg_buzzerSound (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the end-game buzzer sound in all gametypes.
* Changed cg_allowTaunt (default = 1) to now also disable gesture events clientside in addition to disabling Team Arena style VO taunts when this cvar is disabled.
* Added cg_lightningStyle (default = 1) Altering this cvar will cycle through various lightning stream effects: Default Q3/QL, QuakeWorld inspired, Team Arena shaft, and thin shaft options.
* Renamed cg_oldRail (default = 1) to cg_railStyle (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference ‘old’ is lost between iterations of the game.
* Renamed cg_oldRocket (default = 1) to cg_rocketStyle (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference ‘old’ is lost between iterations of the game.
* Renamed cg_oldPlasma (default = 1) to cg_plasmaStyle (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference ‘old’ is lost between iterations of the game.
* Fixed ‘Falling Damage Received when Landing Crouched from Jumppads’
* Optimized cg_drawGun 0 by disabling the weapon sway/position calculations when the weapon is not being drawn.
* Changed cl_mouseAccel, cl_mouseAccelStyle, cl_mouseAccelOffset and cl_maxPackets to now replicate (save to config in database).
* Added cg_newWeaponBar 2 and cg_newWeaponBar 3 options for right and center aligned weapon ammo bars.

Gerade muss ich in Nostalgie schwelgen. Es gab mal so ne Zeit, da ging man zum Zocken hauptsächlich auf LAN-Partys. Hauptsächlich deshalb, weil die Kosten für einen spieletauglichen ISDN-Anschluss meist das Budget jedes Schülers oder Studenten sprengten. Und mit Modems und den daraus resultierenden 500er Pings wars auch kein Spass. Ein Game, welches die allgemeine Counterstrike-Mania immer ein wenig durcheinander gebracht hat, war Quake 3 Arena. Eigentlich ein krankes, sinnloses Geballere, aber doch irgendwie fordernd.

Anfang August bin ich nun auf Quake Live gestoßen. Quasi Quake 3 spielbar im Browser. Ich war am Anfang sehr skeptisch, da man zuerst ein Plugin installieren muss, das zu dieser Zeit nur für Windows verfügbar war. Nachdem jetzt das Linux-Plugin auch da ist, fange ich langsam an, die Genialität dieser Idee zu begreifen. Einfach auf einer Website ein paar Einstellungen machen, sein Profil verwalten, etc. Mit einem Klick ist man dann im Fullscreen und es geht richtig ab. Das Spielgefühl, die Smoothness ist nicht vom alten Quake 3 zu unterscheiden. Allerdings tummeln sich auch viele Pro-Gamer, die wohl seit 10 Jahren nix anderes zocken Im Server-Browser kann man aber Server mit solchen Spielern schnell erkennen.

Ich füge jetzt noch schnell nen Link auf mein Profil auf diesen Blog. Dann gehts wieder ans lustige killen

Si vede che è Beta

I Just Can't Do It

Mark Hill — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 08:19:19 +0000

I’ve been trying, I mean reeeeeally trying, the last few days to get into the free-to-play-now-on-Mac Quake Live, but I just can’t do it.

Overall, I’m just not a PC gamer. To me there is nothing intuitive about hitting buttons on a keyboard to run around and shoot, and there never will be. The simple act of moving in the space feels blocky and cumbersome, and having to concentrate on the WASD keys while trying to frag fools in a game that is this fast and twitchy leaves me very irritated, and very often dead.

The game itself is well ported though, and it reminds me of 2001 when we would play Quake II on N64 at Tyler’s house while just growing out of GoldenEye (at least I think that’s what it was. I can’t be expected to remember eight whole years ago). In the browser, it looks sharp (even in fullscreen), runs smooth, and is easy to jump right into a game. I think the friend system is a little buggy right now though, because even though I kept accepting his friend request, I just couldn’t hook up with Russ.

Maybe with some friends to frag in the room, I might have a little more fun with this, until then, I’m going to avoid any more one-kill and thirty-something death frag fests.

Quake Live is available on OSX. It requires installing a plugin, that is Intel only. The subscription is free.

Quake Live вече върви и на Mac и Linux!

stranger — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:53:12 +0000

Малка но чудесна новина за всички Quakeри с MAC или Linux. Quake Live вече върви и на въпросните две платформи, така че цялото семейство може да се събере на едно малко дуелче.

Единствено при Mac OS X играта все още върви само под Safari заради някакво бъгче, но следващият ъпдейт ще добави поддръжка и на Firefox.
Enjoy!

Ruaridh — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:23:12 +0000

Quake Live is an Ego-Arena Shooter, based upon Quake3 but focusing upon multiplayer, and its for your browser,

1 plugin and you can play, which is quite awesome I believe.

Add me, I play CTF and Any deathmatch mode… Xtr4M1nty is my name.

Top weapons:

1) Best for newbs the Rocket Launcher sees wide use and is extremely powerful and funnily enough accurate too!

2) My favorite, the Shotgun is powerful for speed-warriors and CQC guys.

3) Lightning Gun, Awesome for Non-Camp Snipers.

Styles:

Speed Warrior: An under-rated, chaotic, crazy, fast paced shooting style which uses RLs and Shotguns. Basically you run around as fast as you can grabbing frags with the Shotgun or camping then shooting thier RL and bolting to the other end of the map.They are like flies….Pesky…Swat ‘em as soon as you can. (I think i just slagged myself by calling myself a fly, lol )

Treehugger: A rather good camping style where you hug walls and only do a run-around of the map if you need health,energy or arent getting any traffic to blow to shreds…Shotgun and Lightning Guns are the best for this style.

Review 10/10.

Quake Live is, well, live.

Russ Crandall — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:04:58 +0000

Quake Live, a free browser-based version of Quake III Arena, went into public beta on February 24th of this year (my birthday, don’t forget the presents next time) and has been available to play on Macs since yesterday. Never one to turn a free thing down, I tried it out. You set up a quick profile, and then play a 10-minute placement match so that when you play online you are up against people of the same skill level. Considering Quake III Arena has been out for ten years, I’m happy to walk into a match and not get slaughtered. From there, you can either play online or against bots, which is great. Bots should be in every FPS game, if you ask me.

The game is fast and simple, and I actually played it for a few weeks about six years ago, so it felt pretty damn good to play it again. This is the era of computer-based FPSes that I like best. Not because they’re the best, but because they run well on my non-gaming computer. I also really like the idea of just jumping on a website that has a long and faithful community and popping off a few frags, and then going right back to google image searching for adorable puppy photos.
