Quake Live

[i3d]

Quake Live is an in-browser, multi-player version of Quake III, supported by ads. It's a free game, currently in closed beta.

The beta testers have a strict NDA, we will enforce this NDA on our forums.

If you are looking for a Quake Live invite, go to this thread: http://forum.i3d.net/main/24652-quake-live-invites.html
Quake Live screenshots are in this topic!

Quake Live (formerly known as Quake Zero) is a first-person shooter video game project from id Software announced in 2007. It is said that id is very much focusing on the multiplayer aspect of the game, so as to nudge the game into succeeding its predecessor Quake III Arena as a "major league" FPS eSports competition game.[citation needed]

It will be released as a free version of Quake III Arena[2] launched and played via a web browser, but will also be playable full screen.

Quake Live will be backed financially by in-game advertising from IGA Worldwide[3]. Skill-based matchmaking will be powered by a "metagame engine" developed by GaimTheory.[4]

============

Quake Live is aan gratis, webbased met advertenties, versie van Quake. De game is momenteel nog in ontwikkeling maar is al geschikt voor diverse browsers op het Windows platform.

De game is onder een stricte NDA beschikbaar gesteld aan een kleine groep genodigden, voor deze gelukkigen is dit topic niet maar heeft ID Software een eigen forum online.

Als je nog niet in de beta zit moet je waaschwijnlijk wachten totdat ID inschrijvingen gaat accepteren. Je kan je aanmelden voor de public beta op: Help us test QUAKE LIVE!
Zodra deze beta begint zal ID de eerste mensen toelaten tot de game. Je zal wel akkoord moeten gaan met een Engelstalige NDA.

Zodra er meer informatie vrij beschikbaar komt zal de topicstart worden geupdate.

Zoek je nog een key of heb je invites te verdelen, check dan dit topic voor Quake Live invites[/url].

Er zijn al enkele screenshots!

I'm from the United States, I've been trying to get an invite for the passed two months, but I've had nothing but bad luck.

If this isn't appropriate, sorry for the inconvenience.

Nieuws | 4 mei 2009 - Op de fora van Quake Live heeft één van de ontwikkelaars van id Software bekend gemaakt dat zij momenteel druk bezig zijn met het maken van nieuwe maps voor de game. Daarnaast komen er meer tutorial-modi en de mogelijkheid om het krachtsverschil tussen de twee teams in balans te trekken. Men verwacht dit midden mei af te hebben.

Ontwikkelaar id Software gaat de open beta van Quake Live uitbreiden, want er zullen zes nieuwe levels toegevoegd worden. De komende zes weken zal er elke maandag één nieuw level beschikbaar worden gesteld. Id Software heeft beloofd dat er tussen deze nieuwe levels ook een aantal klassiekers zal zitten. De eerste nieuwe map, genaamd Hidden Fortress, is al beschikbaar en is een echte klassieker, want het level is bekend uit Quake III.

Quake Live is een browser-based shooter, wat betekent dat je het spel simpelweg kunt spelen door middel van een webbrowser. De game haalt zijn inspiratie uit het oude Quake 3 Arena en probeert daarmee dezelfde actie en pure snelheid te evenaren die Quake 3 indertijd wist neer te zetten. Quake Live is gratis te spelen en is afhankelijk van advertenties op de website en in de game zelf.

QUAKE LIVE interview on the Bethesda Blog talks with id Software's Marty Stratton about QUAKE LIVE, their free online first-person shooter. One of the answers follows up on John Carmack's recent indications that they are investigating premium services:

We’re toying with a number of ideas for features, functionality, and even content that will translate well and represent a real value for players wanting an affordably-priced premium service. One of the most requested features in QUAKE LIVE and something that I think would be at the core of any premium service, would be the ability to very easily and quickly start a private match (that only you and the players you invite can join). Right now, all of our matches are open to the public and started by our back end systems. So, what we’re looking at creating is a totally integrated and very easy to use method for starting and running a personalized private match.

It’s a similar concept to players in other games renting their own server, but our approach would be to allow them more of a “private match on demand.” Making this type of system available through the same site you are playing the game on, allows us much more flexibility in making the interface easy to use and more integrated with things like your friends list.

The QUAKE LIVE Website outlines changes to id Software's free online shooter that improves hit registration (thanks to increased server framerates), uses new cylindrical player hitboxes, and adds player position extrapolation fixes. Word is:

These changes should help reduce occurrences where you actually miss an enemies body with a shot, but actually register a hit (because the "hitbox" was larger than the body itself). In addition to these changes we have also included several new smaller features such as the impactSparks, that further assist in detecting when and where you've hit your enemy.

All the changes are outlined in this Changelist.

One year ago today, id Software launched their open beta of Quake Live, their browser-based multiplayer shooter based on their 1999 game Quake III Arena. While the game is still in beta the team has added a number of new features and content to Quake Live in the past year including eight new maps, support for Mac and Linux operating systems and more. Players have taken 8.9 million game hours in one year to play in 60 million ranked matches. To celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of Quake Live, id has added:

A new CTF map to the list of levels titled Fallout Bunker.

They also will give any player who completes one online match a "Year One" award from now until March 9.

id Software's free-to-play first person shooter Quake Live has been online for well over a year now and this week the game got a major new update with quite a few new features, changes and bug fixes. The biggest new addition is the player invite system which now allows friends to invite others into their games.

Other new features in the update include a way to mute blocked players, Firefox 3.6.3 support and more. id Software is also working on a new Premium (i. e. paid) Service that will allow players and leagues to purchase their own private Quake Live servers.

QUAKE LIVE is back online after some scheduled maintenance for the formerly free online shooter. We say formerly free because they have launched two different premium subscription plans for the service, though "standard" QUAKE LIVE play remains free. There is a Premium Subscription Plan for $1.99 a month with some perks including exclusive maps, and a Pro Subscription Plan for $3.99 per month offering further features, including the ability to start your own server and invite players with Standard memberships to play on Premium maps. The full rundown follows.The Premium Subscription, which can be purchased for $1.99 per month, billed annually, includes:

• Access to 20 QUAKE LIVE Premium only maps at launch with more to come. Premium maps are a combination of brand new maps and frequently requested community favorites from previous QUAKE games such as Aerowalk, Theater of Pain, Japanese Castles, and Realm of Steel Rats;
• An all new ‘Freeze Tag’ game mode;
• Exclusive premium level awards;
• Create your own clan and join up to five separate clans;
• Custom QUAKE LIVE profile wallpaper; and
• Match statistics stored for six months.

The Pro Subscription, which can be purchased for $3.99 per month, billed annually, includes all of the premium subscription features as well as:

• The ability to start your own game server, specify a server location, determine the game mode and invite who you want to join you;
• With the Pro Subscription, you can invite three friends with Standard level memberships to play with you in any Premium level map;
• Exclusive pro awards;
• Create your own clan and join up to ten separate clans; and
• Match statistics stored for 12 months.

The QUAKE LIVE ‘Standard’ version is still free to play and includes friend lists, access to one clan, matchmaking, and stats tracking delivered through a web browser with over 40 arenas and five game modes.

This post on the QUAKE LIVE Website has details on new updates to id Software's online first-person shooter. The change log includes a number of changes, including new team-size options, concluding with word that paves the way for the game's first premium update:

Next week we plan on having another small update with additional fixes and features, followed soon after by our first major Premium content update in mid-September.

Source: bluesnews.com

[Suavemente1974]

The QUAKE LIVE Website announces the chance to experience the benefits of premium membership in id's online first-person shooter free of charge through September 26. Premium members have the right to join premium matches to play on any of the 20 new arenas, play the premium-only FreezeTag game type, create clans, join more than one clan, and being spared pre-game advertisements. Also, those who buy a Premium subscription or the even more elaborate Pro subscription will receive a token for one free month at that membership level, which they can redeem for themselves, or gift to a friend. They do add an important warning about clan membership, saying:

Since premium access grants the ability to join more than one clan as well as the ability to create clans, anyone who does so without buying a Premium (or Pro!) subscription by the end of the week will be removed from those clans.

Also, 13 of the game's previously released maps have been updated including quite a few changes that were made to the Purgatory level.
