GDC08: Quake Zero becomes Quake Live
It's been a while since we've heard anything about Quake Zero, id Software's free-to-play variation of Quake 3. For starters, it's not going by that old name anymore. From now on, you can call it Quake Live. Secondly, gone are any doubts about the financial efficacy of their business model: in-game advertising acronym addicts IGA Worldwide has announced a partnership with id Software to convert your roaming gaze into cold, hard cash.
Quake Live will be available, cleverly enough, at www.quakelive.com, along with an assortment of features like stats, matchmaking, and of course, the game itself. And no, we still don't know when it (or the XBLA version) is scheduled to be release. Regardless, coupled with EA's free-to-play Battlefield Heroes, our trend-sensors are ringing off the charts.

Forget Quake; why are they still charging money for Doom?!?

Finally, all those kids who think UT is good might get a taste of what embodies the perfect FPS.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
UT1 was the perfect multiplayer FPS. Q3 was lame by comparison.

Crono, you don't know what you're talking about, and you should do yourself a favor and shut your trap.
Quake 3 is the perfect multiplayer FPS. BY FAR, the BEST competitive shooter, ever.

Free Legal Games that don't suck? What else could you want?!

F.E.A.R and Halo online are also free.
Mr.ESC @ Feb 20th 2008 11:23AM
I mean the multiplayer mode for F.E.A.R is free.
The game is cheap too,my copy of F.E.A.R included an italian magazine and a demo of Crysis.

I don't get it. Wasn't Quake 3 free to play anyway??? At least that's what I remember

You mean you can walk into a local retail store and pick up Quake 3 and walk out without paying a dime?
