Very boring, feels old. No wonder since it's from -99. Limited gameplay options (just death match and flag hunting). I hate the "setting", the environments feel synthetic and artificial. The fast pace seems unnatural. But I always hated Quake 3 and UT. I semi-liked Quake 2 because of the lack of competition back then.

But it's kinda amazing to be able to play such a graphically advanced game in a browser. Had lots of lag moments with frequent freezing when I played though.

When there are amazing team based shooters like ET: Quake Wars, no one shuld wanna play Quake Live.

Actually I like Quake Live a lot. It's probably the first DM game I've ever liked (I missed Q3 by the way). Especially balance seems excellent compared to many other games - it's all about skill (and spawning next to a decent weapon :P). I've also had only little lag so far. And I like the fast pace but you have the right not to. Oh, and I also love ETQW, it's just hard to find balanced matches.

I can't deny that the balance is great. But how hard can it be (for such an extremely simple game)? Yeah I know, the simplicity is a big part of the game design, for balance and competition reasons in pro games and stuff.

But ET:QW has awesome balance too. Nuffin is overpowered (xcept tanks if you're a tank master).

Well on second thought, there are some details like spawn killing and some parts of maps are very hard for one side of the factions...
