Those games were fantastic! Amazing. Highly recommend watching them if you haven’t already.

I won’t say how the games went, if you want to know, watch them, because it swings around all over the place – I don’t wanna spoil the ending for you… Hehe.

For those who don’t know, both Evil and Rapha are well known quake veterans and have been playing for many years.

This tournament is Double Elimination, Rapha from the winners bracket, Evil from the losers bracket.
Because of this, in the grand final, Rapha has to win 2 games to win and Evil has to win 3 games to win.

Have you tried it slacker?

It actually runs really well, and allows them to release updates easily.

If you think evil was good there, watch the fourth game. He gets his ass handed to him hahaha

As a veteran 0f Q3 and as a seas0ned player 0f quake live I must say Quake Live runs like a dream never had a glitch with it and the resp0nse 0f it [as we all kn0w it’s ab0ut the twitching] is amazing.

The gameplay still d0esn’t c0me cl0se t0 the legends 0f the game

My fav0rite map with sum 0utrage0us m0ves….

Quake Live *is* native

Submitted by ltmon on Wed, 07/08/2013 - 14:44.

It’s simply delivered as a plugin via the browser — otherwise it runs fully X86, Windows native code. It used to not run on Linux, but a quick check and it seems to with some caveats.

As for browser based 3D games… might not be as far off as you think. Open these in a (very) recent version of Chrome…

Unfortunately my laptop can’t play QW, but I’m happy to jam some q3 or ql, either one. Ql is easy and it’s much prettier. :)
