This is the browser based one right??
The way i understand it and i could be wrong, is that this is not Quake 3, it may be very similar, infact its probably a modified q3 engine from the only screenshot i have seen. However the basic idea seems to be have a quake style game centrerd around a single webpage that acts as many different things, such as a Server browser, friendlist and ranking systems which i imagine would include cups/leagues/ladders.
Sounds like ID are trying to unite the competative deathmatch players once again that are currently split over a number of games.
The game itself isn't based in the browser, but everything else is (as Smurfy says above).

Signed up too. Worth a look.
a load of us used to go to a lan arena and end up playing CS for 5 hours straight!
A mate and I would finish the night off with a 200 frag limit game of Q3A and race to see who could get to the 200 first! after CS it was great to run around with the trigger down for 15 mins! score was always something like 200 vs 197, with the nearest bot on something like 30! lol

Its using the q3 engine but after q4 didnt really take off as they had hoped they are trying to mend there ways. Basically its just going to be very competitive and they are actually taking feedback from players on what they want in the game.
www.esreality.com has a huge thread on this and I believe they are just trying to tweak it as much as possible so its as balanced as can be.
Also the ESWC has now picked up q3 as its 1v1 game so if people here have never watched a quake duel tournament I urge you to check out some of the VOD from i32 and get ready for ESCW.
Quake 3 Duels > all spectator wise its just so much skill in this game.
