Thanks to the numerous requests from GNU / Linux users (and MacOS), versions of the Quake Live client for these operating systems were announced at the QuakeCon 2009 press conference in Dallas (USA). From August 18 of this year, customers and some maps will be available for download.
Quake Live is a free browser-based online multiplayer first-person shooter (browser-based version of Quake III, uses a slightly modified version of the id Tech 3 engine). The game requires a web browser and the client itself as a plug-in to it.
