Quake 3 Arena was one of my first games, which was one of the reasons I wanted to try Quake Live. But upon playing Quake Live, I feel so very disappointed. And I'm having a hard time pin pointing why. Aesthetically they're both the same game but there is something about it that just makes me hate it.

The Community, for one thing, is awful. Composed entirely of childish idiots who either don't speak english or spell like they can't speak english. And almost everyone plays as Bones or Keel. And, on the subject, when you start the game. Every enemy is a Bright-Green Keel by default, I call this "Baby bullsh!t Parkinsons Mode." Because little Timmy just can't handle Quake Live unless everyone is a big green robot. It's an insult to me as I HATE KEEL. I swear, I have every single person who plays as him, I hate the very thought that someone who plays as Keel is allowed to draw breath.

It's the kind of game you'd imagine some accountant playing while at the office, but mostly it's played by stupid 12 year olds whos Moms wouldn't buy them the real MANLY VERISON of Quake 3 Arena.

That reminds me, Quake Live is a real toned down version of Quake 3, probably so the kiddies could get in on the action, as all the gore and satanic imagery has been removed. This shouldn't make a difference, but I still find it stupid anyways.

The Maps and Weapons are largely unchanged, but other than that, Quake Live is a wimp's version of Quake 3. You'd be better off buying Quake 3 for ten dollars on Steam because it's better than Quake Live.
