Never gets old
Yep, it's been 20 years and I can still sit around all day and play Q3DM17 with bots on repeat.

ioquake3 on Linux
Quake 3 is the game that got me into first person shooters... Though I prefer the first Quake game over Quake 3, I played Quake 3 first. I first played Quake 3 Arena on the old Sega Dreamcast, then the CD-ROM on PC in Windows ME. The multiplayer of Quake 3, even against bots, still stands up long after its 1999 debut. The ioquake3 source port for Linux and Mac has seen to it every operating system can run Quake 3. The smorgasborg of user-created maps and skins have stretched out the life of Quake 3 exponentially. If you've got $15 to blow, or less when it's on sale, grab Quake 3.

Addiction in its purest form
There is something about the simplicity and blistering pace of Quake III that makes it simply impossible to put down for more than 24 hours. You may only need a 15-30 minute fix, but I can assure you that you WILL be coming back at least once a day. GRAPHICS: The graphics bright and colourful, and can be tuned to run smoothly on just about anything. SOUND: Sound effects are good, and weapons sound just like you imagine they would. From the crunchy blast of a shotgun to the futuristic "pew pew" of a plasma gun, the weapons sound just as satisfying as they are to use. The announcer could have used a few more lines of dialogue if you ask me (I do appreciate him rating my performance, but hearing him say "excellent" will get pretty old after about the hundredth time). On a much more specific note, there is something oddly, extremely satisfying about the tinny crunch sound that plays whenever you pick up an Armor Shard. Seriously, look it up on YouTube! GAMEPLAY: This game is fast, Seriously fast. This game is chugging-an-entire-bottle-of-Mountain-Dew-and-then-setting-a-land-speed-record-in-a-Bugatti-Veyron-powered-by-Usain-Bolt's-sweat fast. Playing Quake III for just 20 minutes will give your eyes quite a workout, and all other shooters will seem like they're being played in slow motion after about a week of playing this. OVERALL: Do I recommend Quake III? FRICK YES I DO!!! Is $20 a fair price for a game this old, even though it's one of the best shooters ever made? Not at all, you should definitely wait until it goes on sale for $9.99.

Game is ok but what with price???
This is a very good competitive shooter with big community, and a lot of mods, maps. And yes its better then Quake Live. BUT WHAT THE HELL WITH PRICE??? Its expensive on steam also (but a bit cheaper). ID and Bethesda do you realise this game is very ancient? It has some minor graphic issues on very high resolutions, it has very bad server searcher, it has famous bug called Over Bounce witch was fixed only in ProMode. And for me its unplayable without OSP or CPMA (or other quality mods). I advice users better buy Unreal Tournament 99 or wait for Unreal Tournament 4 (it will be free game). ID and Bethesda do you feel differences Unreal Tournament 4 on modern engine is free and old Quake3 is 20 bucks (13 on steam)?
