Q3 Rulez and then they add Team Arena

I finally got around to buying Quake 3 (After playing the demo to death). It's simply amazing. Graphical voilence and eye-candy compete with each other for the crown, but it's the ironclad gameplay that tops it off. Add to that the active MOD-community, rankings, maps, models and bots with killer-AI and you've got yourself THE multiplayer-game of the last century.

And with the Team Arena expansion pack things just got sweeter. More models, more maps, more types of gameplay (focusing on teamplay).

So if Q3 Rulez then Q3 + TA is bliss.
Thank you (...)
Life just got a little bit better.

One of the most heavily modified games around.

This game, along with being one of the greatest FPS death match games is also one of the most heavily modified games I have ever heard of. Not only is there about a billion new characters and such that have been made by various artists around the web but there are also dozens of total conversions, now if your not familiar with game modification let me explain it for you; People out there have great talent and abundant skill and make now characters for you to play as, and in most cases, play againts in bot matches. Now these people make anything from a giant snake creature to Zorak from Space Ghost: Ghost To Coast. Total conversions are completley new games that just use Quake 3 as a base to run off of. So basically you get this game and 20 others if you feel like downloading them. All mods (modifications) are free of charge, my personal fav is Bid For Power.

This bundle also includes the Q3 team arena game witch is pretty fun with multiplayer.

However, if you're looking for a really great bot match game then you would be better to get Unreal Tournament.

The multiplayer for this game is one of the most heavily populated around and you would look forward to a very long and healthy life of online fraging with this game.

A Must For Quake and FPS Fans

The Quake 3 bundle is great for all those FPS fans out there. It comes with Quake 3 and Quake 3: Team Arena. Both have stunning graphics and can be updated with new maps downloaded from the internet. Multiplayer is great for all you 56K users because lag doesn't seem to exist. Effects are great and can keep you hooked for hours. This is overall one of the best FPS games out there.

My favorite game

This game is amazing. Having played this game for over 2 years I'm still not bored of it. There are 100's of different modifications for it you can download that will keep you coming back for more. Modifications you can play with Q3 are things like Rocket Arena 3, Instagib, and Urban Terror. Theres even trick jumping mods. The gameplay is perfect and the graphics are amazing. Even with all the newer games I play I still find myself going back to Quake 3.

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

One of the best games I've ever played

I bought Quake III Gold and I have had so much fun with it. It is a lot better then Half-Life and all of those games. Not only does it come with QIII but it comes with QIII Team Arena. You can even download MORE mods for QuakeIII!! I reccommend this to anyone who wants a good computer game!

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!

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.

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.
