For the past two months I have been happily playing the Beta version of QuakeLive, Id Software’s newest release in the Quake universe, which is moving to an open beta this Tuesday . I have been a big fan of the Quake series since Quake I and have been having a lot of fun playing the current incarnation in the Quake universe. QuakeLive is free to play and only requires that a browser plugin be installed. The game is run from within the plugin and requires you to log into the quakelive site. All of your statistics are tracked automatically and are used to determine what tier you are placed on. I don’t know all of the particulars of the skill matching system as it has been slightly adjusted over the last couple of months but for the most part it has been matching me against opponents who are about my skill level.

I would encourage everyone to head on over to http://www.quakelive.com on Tuesday to register and begin playing.
