    I read about Quake Live in March in a Gameinformer magazine. It said it was free, and well, I love free games. I have never played Quake before but it looks fun enough. Well right after I read it I immediately signed up for the beta but not even an email saying I didn't get in. Has anyone here gotten into the Beta, One of my friends signed up the day it came out on 3 different emails and he hasn't gotten in yet.

    Invite-send-ability is locked since 1-2 weeks ago unfortunately.

    Yes, beginners like myself will get owned. Sometimes even before you (re)spawn.
    Yes, I would say it's fun - just because it's 95% the same as Quake 3. Seriously, go play Quake 3 if you want to practice before QL opens.

    Unfortunately I have no way of playing Quake 3 :(. Also, does it run directly out of the browser, so I wouldn't have to download anything in my computer engineering class?

    I'm also in the beta - it's really nicely done and works very well.
    They've changed the physics and damage around a bit from the original Quakes which makes it seem a bit unfamiliar, but either way, I still suck at it and get destroyed by everyone.

    You have to download a plugin for your browser. The game can be played either inside the browser window or fullscreen.

    I will be shameless and request an invite if there's one out there. Apparently though they have taken away the ability of clicking a page for your invites, you can still login, then visit quakelive.idsoftware.com/beta/add and type in email addresses there.

    please send me one! =)
