Quake Live retains the hyper speed, insane skill that made Q3A the king of the arena shooter that it was (and still is), the iconic weapons (Railgun <3), the legendary maps (Longest Yard) and everything else loved about its predecessor.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core mechanics are easy to understand and it's simple enough to grab a weapon and start shooting so the mantra "easy to learn, hard to master" applies, however, The skill ceiling is so high that no matter how many years you pour into it, you'll never hit it.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
