Nice. I am going to stick with the original Quake and its third party
stuff for now though since it still works. :)

Nice to see Quake getting some love, especially after Champions.

In my opinion, you aren't missing much. It's worth a download to check
out though, being free and all.

Does it even have single player campaigns like Q1 & Q2? I wasn't crazy about Q3A.

Unfortunately no, it's a strictly multiplayer only arena style shooter
through and through.They incorporated a mild class system too, similar
to Overwatch and Team Fortress.

Interesting. So like Q3A with extras.

Pretty much. The gameplay is decent if you liked Q3A, it's fast and
twitchy, but I still find myself going back to Q3A and Quake Live
instead.

I never played Quake Live too. Actually, I don't even remmeber that name. Ha.
