I'm kind of surprised there's no one talking about Quake Live.  It's
Quake III Arena played from your web browser.  Sounds like a great
idea to me, except for the fact that it's Quake III, instead of Unreal
Tournament.  Or Quake II.

I've finally gotten around to playing the Quake III maps I've
downloaded from File Front, and while the maps are fun, I just don't
enjoy the game as much as I do Unreal Tournament.

Mostly because the bots are really twitchy.  I've always felt that the
Unreal bots are a little too aware of where I'm aiming.  Quake 3 bots
are even worse.  And their own aim is incredibly accurate.

Also, the weapon fire seems slow.  Particularly the rocket launcher.
I fire a rocket, and the bot I'm shooting at is on the other side of
the room by the time it hits.  And yet, I'm still close enough to take
splash damage.  And all the other weapons, if you miss by an inch, it
might as well be a mile.  There's no weapon like the flak cannon.

Back to Live.  Just checked their website, and it's definitely Id
behind it.

Would love to see Unreal go Live (or whatever) because the game just
doesn't play quite right on my current system, even with the AMD
patch.  Although I don't understand why I have to run the patch on
mine, but my parents' systems, which are also AMD dual core, don't
need it.
