Deal Details

The hardware requirements state that Windows XP or Vista are needed. This is not what web based means, and this isn’t web-based at all. It’s just native Windows freeware deployed in a very convoluted way.

BernardRyder: thanks for the warning.

Also they have some VERY ugly microtransactions, if you pay money you can level up your character faster also you can RENT yes RENT a gun for a DAY or MONTH at a time, so you never really permanently progress.

All that being said you can still have fun with it. Quake online is still 100% free last time I checked.

"also you can RENT yes RENT a gun for a DAY or MONTH at a time, so you never really permanently progress. “

The renting of guns is not done with money it is done with in game experience points. after 2-3 rounds with no upgrades you have enough to buy a gun for a week… play with that gun for a week and you have enough for a month… its not as bad as you make it seem. I was part of the beta, the real money was yes for upgrades but mainly for clothes and actions, stuff for fun.

You can play this game just fine without paying a dime. Money can score you some outfits or xp boost stuff, but its not necessary.

I tried it out, it is pretty fun.  Hurry up and join before everyone is an expert.

Does it still have good gameplay, even for non-payers?

gameplay is almost the same, you might get frustrated being gun downed by people who bought superior weapons and skills.

also there’s a bit of lag and not that many servers, hopefully they’ll fix that later.
