The free-to-play browser version of Quake III: Arena, Quake Live, will open to the public from tomorrow, thus taking over our lunch breaks forever.

Players visiting the official Quake Live website tomorrow will be able to register then download the Open Beta, which will let you play and fling rockets in the excellent multiplayer shooter for absolutely nought.

If you've previously been accepted for the closed beta but haven't played in the last 28 days your stats and statistics will be erased, says id. Player names and settings won't be affected, though.

See you on the battlefield.

I think it is about to release.
