The gameplay of Quake Live consists of players attempting to frag more of their opponents than any other player or team in a given match. This is achieved by navigating a 3D environment while collecting health, armor, weapons, ammo and various power-ups in an effort to survive and to defeat opponents. | |||
Quake Live was released as a free version of [[Quake III: Gold]] (Quake III and its expansion pack, [[Quake III: Team Arena|Team Arena]]) available only through a [[web browser]]. Quake Live is backed financially by in-game advertising from IGA Worldwide. Skill-based matchmaking is powered by a "metagame engine" developed by GaimTheory. Development of the match-making system was taken on by id Software after GaimTheory's collapse. | |||
