'''Quake Live''' (previously known as Quake Zero) is a [[FPS]] video game by [[id Software]] designed to run on x86-based computers running [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Mac OS X]], or [[Linux]] that is downloaded and launched via a browser plugin. It is a variant of its predecessor, [[Quake III Arena]] (Q3A). The game first appeared in [[2007]], entered an invitation-based closed beta in [[2008]], and an open beta began on February 24, [[2009]]. | |||
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. | |||
