![]() Quake III Arena is available for Dreamcast, IRIX, Macintosh, PC (Linux/Windows), PS2, and Xbox Live Arcade. But if you really want experience, and have the upper hand then I recommend buying the game, then coming back at your friends with a surprising comeback and extensive knowledge of each map and it's "extras". The demo version can be found at a lot of places on the net, but you only get 4 different arenas to p lay in and no story mode, which is fine if you're only looking to play multiplayer with some friends, or want to practice against the computer, or what the game calls "bots". I STRONGLY recommend the full install, that is of course if you can spare the hefty amount of space on your computer, if not and you don't mind keeping the CD handy, then go for the short install method. There are 2 different ways of installing the full version via CD - full install (roughly 520MB) or short install where you have to pop in the CD every time you want to play (roughly 50MB). One of the biggest virtues to keep in mind is to "Frag everything that isn't you". It's basically the same concept to kill the opponent using weapons around you and certain "stunts" that keep you from being fragged. I think of it as the computer version of Halo. Four additional capture the flag maps are available for practicing skills against other opponents. Twenty-six arena maps replete with traps, secrets, lighting nuances and varied surfaces await the intrepid warrior. Other features in Quake III Arena include unique environmental hazards, properties, and items including fog of death, acceleration and bounce pads, gates, doors, lava, elevators and lifts, voids, water, pendulums, platforms and more. Many options allow full customization of multiplayer games and feature control over aspects such as 'bot skill levels, frag, capture and time limits, connection to dedicated servers, player list designation and friendly fire rules. In single-player mode, the challenge is to defeat automated computer-controlled opponents at each level in order to "unlock" tougher levels.ĭuring multiplayer action, five specific game types are available including all, free-for-all, tournament, team deathmatch and capture the flag. Single- as well as multiplayer action is offered, although the game is designed for multiplayer contests first and foremost. Med-kits, personal teleporters, health bonuses and earned medals that count toward final battle score totals round out the many features of Quake III Arena. Three kinds of armor can be utilized, each uniquely affecting your armor rating, while more than a half-dozen power-ups dot the arena, providing enhanced combat abilities ranging from invisibility to flight. ![]() You must climb the ranks, winning your battles against increasingly powerful foes.ĭuring gameplay, you have a wide variety of weapons from which to choose including several types of guns (machinegun, shotgun, plasma, lightning, rail and BFG), rocket and grenade launchers and bladed weapons. Fortunately, the Vadrigar, unwilling to accept death as a way out of combat, ensure that anyone who dies is immediately resurrected and thrust back into the fray. Within the arena, there is only one rule: kill or be killed. More than 30 types of opponents, each with but a single thought - survival - awaits your appearance! Now you, as a gladiator, must enter battle against the most powerful warriors in history who populate the Arena Eternal. The arena was designed to satisfy the Vadrigar's insatiable hunger for carnage and battle.
