Recently decided to give Quake Live the new browser based remake of Quake 3 Arena a shot to see how it fairs, I must say....terribly.
First off Full Screen mode for some reason (maybe just my pc) won't work. My monitor says unsupported signal, again maybe it's just my monitor, that aside, they took out all the blood and violence, no more gibs. There is a friend bar on the side but you can't access the chat while in-game, or apparently it's some dumb ass code you enter to use it. The best thing of all! More aimbotters and wall hackers than ever! YAY!
To top it off at least all these hacks were free to get your hands on back in the day so you could even the field and "everyone" could cheat. They actually even had some cool mods come from it. It seems that these days though, it's gonna cost you. For $20 a month you can even cheat on all these other games too! WOOHOO!

Trust me. Quake Live is a cluster fuck of cheaters and unless you pay to cheat as well or know how otherwise don't even bother. Chances are you'll get banned unless you have these "up to date" punkbuster and VAC immune cheats which i'm sure is a side business for the respected publishers.
