there's nothing that comes close to the rush of quake matches with your homies and shit talking each other

Nothing will ever compare to the experience of 6+ player LAN deathmatch in Quake III. Shouting across the house at family and friends, blowing each other up with rocket launchers and railguns; even my mom would join in the hour-long frag-fests.

Adrenaline shot straight to the heart


Great roster of characters, iconic announcer, but ultimately a repetitive and bland gameplay loop. I may just be salty because Quake was no longer a single-player focused game.

Not really gonna give this a rating seeing as Quake 3 ps2 split screen doesn’t happen very often.

Hard to rate, because gameplay is incredible, but obviously the campaign (or lack thereof) is a serious downgrade

Probably the best arena shooter out there even to this day.

You get trashed by bots.

Amazing!

the multiplayer fps. nobody has come close to it since. wholly unimpeachable in its weapon and map design. so much life and character put into something with no real story. quake was always best as a multiplayer experience and it is a shame that some people refuse to admit this.

Poems about machines. I still play every game like it could become Quake at any second, and I can't afford to have had those skills go to waste.

That's where cool kids settled their differences, when I was a kid.

Played just because i wanted to play the whole franchise, and have no idea how good this was with multiplayer.

I initially did not like the concept of a game solely devoted to deathmatches. Quake always held appeal for having a solid single-player campaign and a separate multiplayer component. And then I devoted hours of my childhood to playing this game over and over again. It has a bunch of really great maps with cool tricks and traps, and the arsenal of weapons is diverse and effective at blasting away your foes. Whether playing against the bots or other players, it's a really fun FPS experience.

this and a 3 hour old skool hardcore mix is everything a girl needs

best multiplayer FPS ever made

remaster this next nightdive

some dude paid me $50 for my config file because he was bad at the game 10/10

Used to play this in the high school library during lunch period. Everybody had it installed on thumb drives and the librarians would also give us a hard time. Good times.

Possibly the best arena shooter ever existed, which sadly killed the Quake franchise on the long run.

Quake III is fast paced, hectic and most importantly fun, with an engine that pretty much defined an era in video games.

If you never played Quake III before, or you just became a Quake fan thanks to the Quake II remaster, give it a try. It has a decent, gladiator style single player mode, which is pretty much the multiplayer deathmatch mode with bots.


Not everyone can have fun playing Quake 3, mainly because, generally speaking, people suck at videogames. More than anything, and still, always generally speaking, they suck at arena style First Person Shooters.
When bots trash you, it stands as a clear divider between the clueless and the naturally gifted chosen ones. You either have it in you, or you will forever be an incompetent. See, Quake is racist in that sense.
And oh boy you can see how much they effing suck when is Quake 3 Arena the place of the debate. This game, as well as the other arena classics, separates men from boys.
"I will kick your a$$!" Is what this game asks of you to tell the world, more than that, it demands that you prove it! And boy does it feel good when you measure up for it, as this is the definition, and forever will be, of competitive gaming.

Il gioco che probabilmente mi ha fatto fare il saltino di qualità negli shooters sia multiplayer che singleplayer,infatti è da li che ho cominciato a giocare gli fps quasi sempre alla highest difficulty, con quel figlio di puttana di Xaero Master of the Eternal Arena che Aimbotta come un cane in Nightmare.

you can talk with bots, other than that there's no story
