    Pure Multiplayer Madness-

    Quake 3 is The Grandfather of todays popular Shooters, all your Halos, Call of Dutys and Counter Strikes would never have happened if Quake 3 was never made, and on top of all that gaming signifigance the game is totally awesome!

    The Gameplay in Quake 3 is A Shooter at its Purest it features 9 Unique and Perfectly Balanced Weapons as well as 4 Game Modes that have become standard in Todays Shooters, the game is very fasted pace and requires a lot of Shooter 'Twitch'.
    The Game Features a Huge Variety of Maps Which are Very Well Designed and unlike normal FPS games dynamically Change the game.

    The AI in Quake 3 Is Also a Strongpoint with it challenging you right off the bat, especially if you're not used to Faster Paced Shooters, the AI can also be customized to One of Five Difficulty Standards and each one will unlock new Techniques for The AI to use, such as Rocket Jumping.

    The Graphics of Quake 3 may seem Primitive at first but they Truly were revolutionary for the time and they are strongly compimented by a very strong soundtrack.
     One of Quake 3's Major Draws is its Multiplayer Which is Still Popular Even Today, the AI may be strong but nothing will ever truly compare to another Human Opponent.
    The Game also features a Single Player Mode that Lets you Hone your Skills in AI matches, if you so Wish.

    Quake 3 is an Amazing example of a shooter that is quite Simply Pure Fun.

Remember Wolfenstein 3D, the granddaddy of the FPS? And Doom, the one that put the genre on the map, and gave us DeathMatch? And Quake, the one that brought us true 3D? Those days are gone, my friends. Now, id is an engine developer, occasionally creating an empty shell of a game to promote s...

      The defenite multiplayer shooting experience. Forever. 0

      Quake III Arena is like another Doom but 6 years later. Not in terms of gameplay but in terms of importance to the gaming industry. Quake III Arena is the ultimate multiplayer shooter experience and as far as I am concerned the ultimate multiplayer experience overall. For starters it sported the new Quake III engine that became industry standard for countless games. It was first to intruduce curved surfaces and new levels of dynamic lightning and organic surfaces. The soundtrack was mindblowing ...
