id Software has brought Quake 3 into the next generation, as a free-to-play web browser game. The website is very well done, featuring a friends list, an achievement system, and some extremely detailed stat tracking. There is also a skill matching system that will keep you playing with similarly skilled opponents. Now that doesn't mean you will have an easy time, there will always be players better than you, but it will keep you safe from the insanely good players out there, and thank god for that. This game is extremely competitive and the learning curve and skill gap is just ridiculous, but if you're looking for a highly competitive game to play and master, Quake Live will give you thousands of hours of exciting and extremely polished gameplay.
