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...

It's hard because it's so fast and there are better players out there. It's largely based on skills. I'm sure there are even faster games.
ETQW does have great balance, however its teams do not nearly always. That is the problem. I never felt so bad because of teams in W:ET.
