One of the more popular FPS games on PC is the Quake series, and now you can play online for free with Quake Live. Today we give you an overview look of how to get it running and what you can expect.
Starting Quake Live
After going to the Quake Live page you’ll need to download and install the Quake Live Plugin.
After it’s installed a series of updates will take place before you can play. It takes several minutes so just hang tight until its complete.
After everything has been downloaded you can start in a live match, go to the training center, or run through some practice sessions.
