    Another 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.

    The single player aspect would get a 7 or a 6 just because. I just don't think this game works as well with bots as it would online.

    That being said, the single player is decent, and can be quite fun, but there's times where it's quite frustrating. Reason being is hunting down someone to blast them away can take a while, especially if you're unfamliar with maps, weapon locations, etc.    The single player aspect would get a 7 or a 6 just because.

    The weapons themselfs were good, except the machine gun. Horrid starting weapon. But then again, it is just a starting weapon. I never got used to the Rail Gun either, but that's probably because I don't use it much. The classic Quake/Doom guns are present, with a shotgun, rocket launcher, Grenade Launcher, Plasma Rifle, Rail Gun, and BFG 10K, including powerups. Most of the time, I didn't really find myself cursing that I was only able to get certain weapons...well except the Rail Gun, but then again, I was never that good at using it.

    Gonna go play online sometime. I'm pretty sure it's a blast to play online against others, especially since there's mods and custom games and much more.    … Expand

    A bit disappointed with the multiplayer-focused part. I was hoping for another great singleplayer-focused game, just like Quake I and Quake II. But the singleplayer part is good though.

    Kickass music, smooth controls, fantastic action, Quake III is basically an adrenaline rush from the moment you start playing to the end, a game that is filled to the brim with joyful memories.

    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

I love launching someone into the air with a rocket and then shooting them down with a rail. There are all types of game modes to all weapons, only rail and other mods that people come up. This is a very intense game, it might take some time to get used to the gameplay. The graphics to the game are great! You can customize things in the game to suit your style, for example you can choose a custom character or choose a default in game character, you can choose what your weapons look like and sound when you shoot them, there is just a bunch of things to change with the game. The single player part of the game just helps you practice and get ready when you actually face real people. There is no story to the single player. This game is for those people that have a few minutes to blow and want some intense action to blow it with. Make sure when you play all weapons mode that you bind your weapons to keys on the keyboard instead of scrolling through your weapons with the middle mouse wheel. This is a must have for any First Person Shooter lover. If you get it you wont regret it!… Expand

    It's an excellent game in my opinion. 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.

    One of the best shooter deathmatch games of it's time... and some would say beyond its time. This game is responsible for many an all-nighter with friends at LAN parties. Always a party favorite.

    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.

    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. Maybe then they'd stop pumping out such garbage. It's a shame kids these days don't get gaming experiences like this anymore.

    Quake III Arena + Unreal Tournament were best FPS competitive games in that year and also for next years. They were also main graphic benchmarks and revolution engines used in many other games. This games are great to these days and still alive even it is 19 years now!!!

    FPS don't get any better than this. This is what the genre is meant to be. Speed, strafe-jumps, different weapons, fast action, and not hiding next to a box for 10 hours waiting for your chance to one-shot someone.
