    Still the best game to date. No game has ever come close. All game developers should be required to have 5+ years quake 3 experience. MaybeStill the best game to date. No game has ever come close. All game developers should be required to have 5+ years quake 3 experience. Maybe then they'd stop pumping out such garbage. It's a shame kids these days don't get gaming experiences like this anymore. Expand

Fast, complex skill-based gameplay like the Quake series (including, of course, Q3A) is a breath of fresh air these days, where games with snail-slow movement, nearly insta-gib weapons, RPG item unlocks, and regenerating health can still somehow be labeled "competitive".

    It is truly among the finest in the Deathmatch genre.

Based on a pure and strict multiplayer platform, this game gave way to team mode options while still allowing players to create their own maps, sounds and 32 bit textures versus quake2's 8bit textures giving the player a sense of flashy deathmatch arenas designed for the pro-killer.
    Gravity and propulsion debuted here and the developers took those new mechanics to never-before-seen heights. This community of players still thrives 12 years after it was created. Master this game and everything new will seem slow, boring and scripted.

    Amazing game. One of if not the best multiplayer shooter of all time. Has Doomguy, Ranger, Bitterman and lots of other playable characters,Amazing game. One of if not the best multiplayer shooter of all time. Has Doomguy, Ranger, Bitterman and lots of other playable characters, multiplayer with bots. Back when companies cared about their games and not the in-game purchases or microtransactions.

    **** all over games like COD and Fortnite

    Another epic game, with Quake. Quake made the FPS arena genre, and this game makes the real multiplayer. Quake III Arena makes the multiplayerAnother epic game, with Quake. Quake made the FPS arena genre, and this game makes the real multiplayer. Quake III Arena makes the multiplayer version of the single player of Quake. The game itself should be 7- (6.85), but since the game is open (perfect multiplayer), epic and should be the "Follow-this-game-model", I gave it a 7.5. You can make your own MAPS, mods, scripts, gametypes, HUDs, etc. You can't get bored with it, there's even a race mode! The gameplay is amazing: you can use the strafe jump, rocket jump, you can use a lot of weapons, you can use various weapons to run faster and you can do many other things. Graphics 6.65 Plot NULL Longevity 7 Gameplay 7 GLOBAL SCORE: 6.88. One of the best FPSs (and probably one of the best games), among with Warsow and Quake. If it was perfect technically, I'd give it a 9 (excellent). Expand

    Why the developers decided do it this game as Arena? Previous parts is based on campaigns and this game has a boring singleplayer.Why the developers decided do it this game as Arena? Previous parts is based on campaigns and this game has a boring singleplayer. Fortunately, Quake 3 has a multiplayer and you can play this game with other players or your friends, which helps this game. Yet it is the weakest part of the series. Expand
