The game on the surface looks simple but in reality it has one the highest learning curves in any game, second only to Planetside 1. QL is not easy and many people prefer the dumbed down military shooter, as the time to kill is instant and they don't get owned by pros who clearly should be on higher tiers. I guess it puts people off but the end result equals a formidable competitive game that really has become a niche. Long may it live.
OMG another home grown game market specialist. Quake is twitch FPS. It relies on incredible complex agility and decisions made in split second. Quake is 90's. Modern games are aimed at casuals, guys who play with pads like couple of hours weekly.
Don't blame chess for being less popular than Xfactor rofl.

Quake will never die. whats this man smoking?
Iv gone off to consoles and all that other stuff on pcs. like cs and all those games but iv always gone back to Quake. the feeling Quake gives me is amazing. takes me back to the old days of quake. QL is simply amazing imo, does my post account for anything other then personal happiness? haha not rlly. but Quake is the best FPS, it takes skill and some crazy eye coordination to play it. my brothers watch over my shoulder sometimes and all they say is holly cow howd you hit him? RIGHT. Quake 4 Life! the end.

Been reading these since Quake Live came out of beta. Renewed for the 3rd time a few weeks ago.
I agreee I own an Xbox 360 and play around with Call Of Duty you can not compare the two it's trying to compare apples to oranges as opposde to apples to apples. Quake is by it's nature one of the fastest paced Shooters, think of the pluses
-everyone starts out with the same weapon set(no guy who has some all powerful gun)
-no silly kill streak rewards (hey I've killed 5 people let me call down some big bomb and kill everyone)
-if you get hit you have to pick up a health pack(oh crap I'm hit let me go run and hide)
Playing both of them Quake is by far more fun, yes the learnign curve is STEEP. But as the saying goes nothing worth doing is easy. God poeple are complaining because *gasp* ID is trying to make money gee you'd think they were a business or something.
I'm suprised that this hasn't been deemed a useless post due to someone having a different point of view than that of ID
Quake is weird, possibly a zombie, it'll be here till someone removes the head.
*is still baffled by how quake is a twitch shooter*
the game has the least reliance on aim out of every FPS out there
