This is rapeing the Quake name now ID.......Get the Quake 1 magic and actually interesting story of Quake 1 back. Quake 3, 4, and 2 suck.
It's Quake, it's awesome.

Quake 3 is completely different than the first two Quake and Doom games. This game is really more Multiplayer based, although I'd rather play alone, since most people who play it online do nothing but write filthy words and insults instead of playing. But I find myself liking this game better than the new Quake 4. This one happens to contain several very fun mini games, like Capture the Flag, Team Arena (Must buy expansion from store), and Team Deathmatch, in which you're on a team of gladiators, all with the same color uniform.
The story to this game is basically just that an alien named Xaero likes to watch people kill each other so he captures all sorts of gladiators from all over the universe and puts them against each other in combat. The character you start with is Sarge, and I suspect he's the same Sarge from Doom 3. You also get to use Ranger, who was the character in Quake 1, and also the character from the original Doom, who's name is Doom. Basically the characters in this game comprise of soldiers, aliens, demons, and cyborgs, all of which come from the other Doom or Quake games, and a few I don't recognize. But I can't figure out why people keep comparing this game to Unreal Tournament. They're two totally different games and shouldn't be compared. This is a Quake game, and UT isn't. But all in all, I found this game incredibly fun. I've spent hours just playing through it multiple times.
and old game now...

but still one of the best! tho i wouldnt bother buying this now, mainly bekause quake 4 is gonna kome out sooner or later (and it looks awesome). i still play this game! konsidering how old this game is, u gotta give it some kredit. the graphiks tho now beat by doom3 and halo2, etc. are really not bad. the game maintains the klassik evil statanik kastle type maps, which in my opinion, bring out the fear and the "kill or be killed" type atmosphere. and the bots! this may be bekause of the way the maps are very konfined, but i find the bots in this game much harder to beat kompared to the bots in the ut series. and wahts more u kan sometimes seem to grasp what even sounds like a konversation with some of the bots like "Crash". this is very unlike singleplayer ut, where u never touch the chat button. try it out it kan be funny, tho it usually doesnt work. The weapons are simple and easy to use, some sekondary fire would be interesting tho. a few weapons needed in my opinion are mines (maybe molotov kocktails), flamethrowers, and the ol nailgun. i kant komment on multiplayer, it doesnt seem to work on my komputer but neway i kno that ut has the best online gaming (unless kounterstrike is better, ive never tried that one). if u dont have this game now, i suggest u download the demo, its basikally all u need. it has the only map i play singleplayer "Q3DM17" i think... however. another good thing about this game is the fakt that there are so many mods! "modifikations" tho now i would suggest people to buy ut2004, (it has the best mods) quake III has kountless downloadable skins, maps, etc, etc, etc. this game is a klassik.
Really good!

You miss, you die. This is basically the premise of Quake 3:Arena. iD software shows once again who's king in the fps deathmatch arena. There is basically no replacement, no contender for Quake 3:Arena which sets a new standard for the deathmatch experience.
The only game I play

I've played Halo, medal of honor, call of duty etc., Only Quake I can't get enough of.Have to be quick, moves fast, and I love killing those creatures of destruction. Too Bad id software won't make a Quake IV ( better grafics,unlimited use of the trasporter etc.) I guess the violent nature of the game was the reason for the final edition.
Another Quake classic

Graphics....4/5
Gameplay...5/5!!
Loading times..yea Im grading that too...5/5...
ONLINE!!!...5/5...
Overall
Quake III is a classic not to be messed with. The graphics engine for that time was superb. The graphics could have done better though.
The whole new scenario to the game is off the chart. It's friken sweet.
The online is great too. This is one of Quakes finest for the PC.
Go out nd' try to find this classic....
Later...
Classic

This game is famous for it's fast engine, and great online multi-player gameplay. Also very user-friendly, very editable, and theres many great modifications that have been released by Quake players that make this game much more entertaining. Pick it up today, it's best to order it off Amazon though, it's impossible to find in stores these days since it's a little old.
