I love Quake3. Before Quake3 I love Quake2 in the zone before it closed down.
I can't imagine any gamer not playing quake since in my
opinion it's the only GAME.
Who makes the money playing a shooter well Fatality and Thresh!

Hair-trigger intensity

Yes, it takes about half a second to die in this game when you're in the hard areas. This game is best played with groups, because there is NO story. That drawback aside, there are some stunning environments. When this game was first released I was amazed that my then-dated computer could run it. The trick is that the ID developers know how to optimize system resources to make the gameplay awesome and the visuals beautiful as well. Granted, this was high-tech six years ago, but the age factor is outweighed by the sheer quality of the game.

Even NOW a great game!!!

Even after QUAKE 4 & Doom 3 (and all the other FPS quake/doom rip-offs)have come out QUAKE 3 is still just flat out FUN!!! The graphics are dated, yes, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the game is as addicting as chocolate crack. Capture the flag mode is by far my favorite. I got a couple friends together with our computers hooked up to a router...FREAKIN GREAT!!! If you have to have top notch graphics to have fun then you are probably an idiot who has been born in the past 10-15 years and the only thing that will make you happy is to play the latest U.S. military game(tom clancy, conflict, socom...yawn) and to nurse your pokemon fetish on the side. Stop playing that junk and pick up a shooter that has real weapons of mass destruction.

The BEST FPS game EVER!!

I've played lots of FPS games: Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Quake I & II, the DOOM series, Unreal, the AvP series(which is awesome), Wolfenstein, Deus Ex(also awesome), etc. You name it, I've probably played it...but QUAKE III wears the crown for most badass straight-up FPS game. Very intense and lots of fun. And the online Capture the Flag games are highly addicting. This game is about 3 years old and I'm still waiting for someone to top it! DEFINATELY WORTH THE MONEY!!

Quake 3 is still the best!

Quake 3's DeathMatch and CTF cannot be compared. It's got the best graphics and physics of any FPS - much better than recent games like UT2K3 and BF:1942. If you want extremely intense action with superb physics and perfectly balanced weapons, Quake 3 is for you. It has tons of mods, tons of servers, and a huge community. It's easily the best first person shooter in the history of gaming and still remains the king.

Read the FiringSquad review - which covers the game best - in summary:

"So what does Quake 3 give you? It's quite simple: the utter refinement of deathmatch, and the ultimate multiplayer shooter experience - nothing more, nothing less. " -- Dennis "Thresh" Fong

Totally Wrong!

This game works well on Windows 98, but twice as good on XP, which isn't included on the list, and on 98, I can't even finish a level. I need a Windows XP for myself now. I am hoping it works on that. My friend has the XP I used, and I thought it would work worse, but it works so much better, I was dying to play all the time I was there. We even finished the game! There is not enough RAM on my windows 98, and it's probably the problem. I have 56MB, I need 64MB. I would like to see what that XP has. I would not suggest using this on Windows 95 or 98, but on a newer model. This game needs some better testing.

Awsome game

I got this game the first day it came out and at that time a voodoo 2 and voodoo 3's were considered powerful. And with this game they are. The multiplayer is great! Oh plus you can start a skirmish and make it a sever. But the funnest thing is to just go on other peoples servers. Plus if you put in a 128mb vid card the graphics are like the best i've seen next to ut2003. And you can turn the detail up and run at 120fps!

Quake 3 - It just keeps getting better

This is the best Quake yet. The online play is fast and fluid and the graphics are superb. Even offline this CD provides hours of fun (provided your a fan of first person shooters.

The BFG is much improved, more of a directional weapon of mass destruction.

A good free for all of carnage, yet something is missing. I know, a single player mission section. I've been a big fan of the Quake series and of course have enjoyed a little death match on the side as well. Yet what I truly liked the most was the missions you got to play through as the main part of the game.

Quake 2 was one of best for that kind of play. It almost gave you a feel of playing a game similar to Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear. The loss of this from this game sort of saddens me.

With that aside, this game is still very well done. With quite a few odd looking character skins as well as some very fun levels, this should keep you entertained for hours at a time. Though I don't find the controls quite as smooth as they are in Unreal Tournament, I still from time to time enjoy killing a few of my friends. In the game, not literally of course.

Be warned though, the end boss is very difficult when the skill levels increase. He tends to rail you before you've even realized you've respawned.

So beware, but have fun. For there's nothing like joining a game with some friends and blowing their foolish heads off. Kill away, my friends.
