Apparently most of the people who write these reviews either A) Don't play games B) Don't have a brain.

Q3Arena was not made to be a single player game... the single player section of Q3 is supposed to be a way to practice. Q3 is the dominating force in Multiplayer games Online and has been since Q1. I have read so many reviews on both this Expansion Pack and Q3 that say "The single player is terrible". Cry Cry, Tear Tear. Let it be known that these games rule. You can play on a Modem or a High bandwidth connection! Don't buy this game if you want to just play with yourself. But until you have tried playing online with 20 or 30 people from around the world in real time... don't waste my time or anyone elses trying to bash these games.

I am disgusted that Activision makes Quake III Arena compatable with Windows 2000 but does not with the expansion pack. That's pathetic! These guys at ID need to get their act together. I am sure the mission pack will be great but because of the morons at ID I will never know. If your running Windows NT or 2000 go buy a game worth your Money...Soldier of Fortune

team power-ups

One of the really cool things is the Team Power-Ups; Ammo regen, Scout, Doubler, and Guard. All of these enhance your player allowing you to play a different role or use a different strategy eg when you use Guard, your player is stronger and you can tie up two or three opponents before getting killed while your teammates capture the flag or whatever game. Or in games with a lot of people. weapons can be hard to come by, so Ammo Regen is preferred. My biggest problem is getting connected. Half the servers don't work, they default into a Quake 3 game or create an error. So I am frequently downloading new servers trying to find a place to play with more than one or two others.

Finally a new type of game

Finally, quake 3 is more than just shoot them up. It is still a shooter don't get me wrong, but this time it is more than that. You have to go skull harvesting, destroy the enemy base, etc. It is a great addon pack. It will make you even more addicted to the game!

great is what it is

Quake 3: Team Arena is just a mediocre offering from ID

The graphics are great, the gameplay is insanely fast just like Quake 3. But ID doesn't know how to make team play games, and their attempt failed miserably. The new mods are nothing more than team deathmatch with an objective other than kill as much as possible tossed in. Gotta wonder why waste [$] when there are better alternatives available. Mabey in an attempt to be like the rest, Q3:TA's character models look as boring as those in the original UT, either that or mabey it was just ID's stupidity. And yes, it was foolish that ID didn't make Q3:TA win2000 compatible, as win2000 is the most advanced and most reliable OS in the world today, if anything, Jhon Carmack is one of the biggest supporters of Microsoft.

Well now being a death match player since the days of Doom and Heretic, I do know how to look for an enjoyable game. Though I do miss the whole Mission setting that Quake 3 has lost in comparision to its predecessors as I mentioned in my review of it.

Now to add to the carnage of the original release there is the Team Arena Mission Pack. Packed full of levels to play Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, or the new Obelisk and Harvester modes. The additions to your arsenal are also handy, some of which you may recognize from old encounters.

Overall the game play is good, though I'm a little annoyed you can't seem to use all of the old skins from the original. I'm assuming you have to move them over to a different directory or something. The targeting is fairly smooth, though I don't find it as easy to control as Unreal Tournament. Probably just a preference of mine. I find it's easier to be more accurate in UT then in Q3TA.

So enjoy the vast amount of new levels. Have friends over so you can whoop them. Then again, I actually prefer to team up with friends to whoop somebody else. You never know who'll win the next match. Game On!
