Quake live rock! According to me the ID Tech 3 engine was one the best
fast action first person shooter engines ever designed by man! Back in
the days of Qukae III, Quake use to be my middle name. It will be a sad
day for me if ID decides not to release a Linux port for the new engine.
All the ID games I played so far were well supported in Linux and I
cannot really say that of any other game development company.
