Quake Live

This browser-based version of Quake 3 is notable for its fast and focused gameplay. Aside from Capture the Flag, game modes are based on a variation of deathmatch. Each player spawns with a machine gun and has to fight for control of weapon and armor pickups found throughout arenas. Achievements can be earned for kill streaks and various accomplishments.

Common Weapons
• Gauntlet -The only melee weapon, will be equipped at all times.
• Machine Gun – Fires a stream of bullets, all players spawn with this weapon.
• Shotgun – Fires buckshot, best in close-quarters.
• Grenade Launcher -Lobs a grenade, good for suppression.
• Rocket Launcher – Fires a rocket with splash damage, useful for rocket jumping.
• Lightning Gun - Shoots a constant beam of lightning, accurate at all ranges.
• Railgun – The ‘sniper’, fires a single powerful beam.
• Plasma Gun – Fires slower energy bursts, good for suppression.

This game is 100% free. Quake Live’s concentration is on gameplay, not accessorizing.

Because the game doesn’t focus on objectives or aesthetics, it is the perfect execution and map control training ground. Quake Live is highly competitive for good reason; you must master aim, defensive movement, map control, mind games and timing. If you can become an average skill-leveled Quake Live player, you can probably go to any FPS and dominate firefights. – RenegadeFerret 8/5/2010
