Speaking of mobile, movement. Movement is absolutely essential in Quake, with the entire game being built around a complex movement system. You don't have to understand all of the nuances of speed and acceleration though. As long as you're not standing still in Quake, you're already a harder target to hit. Staying mobile and making yourself an elusive target, even as the bigger champions in the game, will pay off massively when you're fighting any other champion. Quake Champions is now Free to Play.

It was also overdue, but now it's finally time for ET: Legacy 2.77 'Capture the City!', our most comprehensive release to date. Yes, we have been saying that about the past releases as well, but only because it's true! Thanks to an actually growing ET: Legacy community and more active interest and involvement by players and server owners alike, the amount of feedback we have received since 2.76 was absolutely astonishing. Thank you for that!

It holds a truly special place in my heart, as I played the original to absolute death during the time of the original Xbox. It got me through some tough times and so it's pleasing to see it doing so well - now free and open source so everyone can get involved.
For the Linux version, you're going to want the 32bit build otherwise you're going to have issues joining servers as as it seems most servers still only provide 32bit mods. Hopefully they will eventually remove those servers from the list in the 64bit client.
