Quake Live supposedly runs in any web browser. Anyone who managed to snag a beta key know how it performs on a Mac?
I'm on the Beta, but Windows is a requirement.
Installed XP under bootcamp,and it runs fine however. Just make sure you disable the apple function keys, otherwise you can't press 'f3' to 'ready' yourself at the beginning of a game.
Runs very well in fullscreen tho, very smooth framerate.
1) it's a beta
2) it's free!
3) the final will run under MacOS.
it's a long way from crap!
I've been looking forward to this for ages! Glad to hear it'll work in OSX.
I am a bit worried though about the level of competition. I hope they have a ranking system. I remember getting destroyed repeatedly when I played this on Dreamcast (I forget which version it was) and after a while it became very dull. I won't have time to spend all day getting good at it, and for me, browser games are a casual 30 mins of game time. Hopefully the game will be able to sort teh hardc0r3z from the rest of us.

Anyone tried Quake Live with Vmware Fusion?
It isn't really playable, kinda stucks in sound loop after loading, anyone else had this?

Console is Ctrl+Alt+~ (or Ctrl+Option+~)
When in the console type in "com_allowconsole 1" to enable the console to be opened just by pressing ~
To show framerate, type in "cg_drawfps 1".
