ID Software makes another push for Quake Live beta testers
Free? Yep.
There will, of course, be in-game advertising to generate revenue, but I doubt too many fans of ID's classics will be upset about that. Their employers may not be thrilled, however. Goodbye, productivity!
Quake Live currently runs on Windows, and while it's played in your browser there will be an offline bot mode available for practice purposes. Mac and Linux users will have to wait and see if they'll be able to get in on the action.
Registering for the beta won't guarantee you a spot. If you aren't the patient type, you can always do a quick Google search and see who's got some invites to share. The full release of Quake Live will happen this August at QuakeCon in Dallas.

Quake was the reason I paid for a gold subsciption to Mplayer, which started my foray into online gaming. I think my favorite map was House of Chthon. If you got up top with the rocket launcher, you could time everyone's spawn and truly dominate. It was a pretty cheap move though. But it was always a great feeling to see someone running down the narrow lane up top and blowing them to smithereens with a perfectly timed rocket from across the map.
This eventually led to me discovering the original Team Fortress, which I played for days at a time.
Long live +mlook!!!

I guess its a second or third push? QuakeLive was the main event at quakecon, way back in August. I guess it died down if they are having to look for beta testers again.
