Although free is nice, this always means very poor quality and most likely loaded with ads. I would rather pay for quality than get free garbage.

I don't know about that; Wolf:ET was a lot of fun, and I don't remember any advertising. However, That was a while ago, maybe things have changed.

Quake 3 is an awesome game. I don't play online though cuz I suck compared to those hardcore die-hard players, but maybe I'll consider playing it more often if more and more people play this live version? (More noobs so I'm not the only one)

Oh for fucks sake.

I finally get through, install the plug-in, and restart Firefox, and now I'm back in the damn queue.

Perfectly like Quake 3, same handling, same graphics(more or less) but no console though....
They actually added and option to change the FOV.
And the queue was a bitch, thank god I had some DVDs to spare.

"To access the console in-game press: CTRL+ALT+~ (on your QWERTY keyboard). This will drop down the command console. It make the console easier to toggle, you can now type com_allowconsole 1. After doing so, you may now toggle the console on or off by simply pressing ~."

After that fun queue I (as all Brits) enjoyed waiting in for a horrendously long time, I had a lot of fun. Surprisingly I'm still pretty good as when ever I re play the Quake 3 on the PS2 it normally takes a few rounds to get used to everything, but I jumped right in and was fragging away within seconds.
It is epic to play lol

lol I know, I was young back then, very stupid

Why do we have to wait in this stupid queue every time we want to play?
Waiting in the queue once, twice maybe acceptable, it is very fun to play, but common!!!!!!
I have to wait over 30mins to fucking play, all I want to do is play a couple rounds

Well the website seems to be down so I'm going to chalk this up as a resounding failure, the whole point of this was to show that web browser based games can be something else according to articles I read about it, and it's failed miserably in that aspect
