Quake Live (free version of Quake 3) is going to have a Mac version. Id Software at this years Quakecon said it will be released Tuesday.
😀😀:apple:😀
 
I might have to play this. Downloaded it in Boot Camp but only played it once, but now it is another native Mac game I can see myself playing it more, I hope.
 
Oh, Tuesday, I thought it was Monday so I was expecting it any minute now. So will it be out tomorrow or Wednesday? For us Aussies I mean.

either late night tomorrow, or early morning on wednesday. bout time they got mac support. they didn't have it when all my friends played which sucked. i had to use my POS windows laptop
 
tangent: Is id planning on a Mac version of the new Wolfenstein?

I don't know that it looks "must have," but it looks like an enjoyable diversion. As such, I could see myself playing an OS X version much more than I could see myself restarting into Windows, playing, restarting in OS X, and doing more work.
 
It says that the Mac version is coming soon. If this is a PC game, played with boot camp, thats not really a mac version.

Did I miss something? If they have a Mac version I would love to try it out!😕
 
Yep its up and i'm downloading the game files now

in case anyone wonders where the plugin gets saved (if it causes problems) its in the Macintosh HD/library/internet plugin folder and the big files it downloads are kept your accounts "Application support" folder
 
I spoke too soon..

Safari crashed just as the game window appeared and its downloading it all again now
 
I played the tutorial round it is really fun. The controls are really customizable and the game looks great. If you like FPS this is a no-brainer.
 
I just tried it and got "Support for Mac & Linux, along with alternative browsers is under development."

Is there something special that you need to do?

try reloading the page a few times

I got it working now, runs really fast, but not as fun as Urban Terror though
 
Safari 'unexpectedly quits' every time I exit a match...

This is on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Safari 4.0.3.

Anyone else having the same issue?
 
Downloading it now. I wish I could delete my account or reset my account, because I played a few games in Windows. But doesn't matter, I'll just do training again.
 
This plays great on the Rev C Air! I am playing at the full resolution with a full screen, and no hiccups! I can't seem to load the next level after the tutorial, but I love what I am seeing here!😀
 
Quake Live is really crashtastic, it almost always crashes Safari. But DAMN is it fun!!!

I forgot what a blast that game is to play.
