Hosting a Quake Live server
Quake Live is id Software's competitive arena shooter, the multiplayer-focused successor to Quake III Arena, on Steam since 2014. It has more than 100 arenas and over 12 game modes, including Free-for-All, Duel, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena and Capture the Flag.
The game supports Steam Workshop, so server owners can add community maps and build their own map pools for duels or team play.
What to compare
- Low latency. Arena shooters punish lag. Choose a datacentre close to your players.
- Config access. Look for full access to server config, game types and map pools.
- Workshop maps. Check you can add Workshop content easily.
- CPU speed. High tick play needs a fast CPU, so compare performance, not just price.
