PURE COCAINE FPS

I love that game. I love that game. Did I mention that I love that game? (: It's simple. It's fast. It's gory. It's raw. It's instinctual. It sounds great — just listen to the beautiful sounds of the rockets comin' right at you (and hopefully miss you!). It's pretty (yes, even in 2018). Unlike many modern shooters and/or action games, it requires actual skill (cheers to all the bunny-hoppers out there). It's awesome. It's crazy. I don't care if you're a Doom fanboy — this is the defition of the FPS genre for me! Counter-Strike is another story (it's team-oriented FPS). You will be railed. You will be gunned. You will be melted. You will be humiliated. WELCOME TO THE ARENA! FIGHT!

Absurd pricing

You take an older great FPS and strap on a terrible pricing system and this is exactly what you get. It's too old to be priced in this manner.

a great old timer deathmatch!

my dad is not a gamer anymore and has not been sense i was atleast 2 years old. but this was one of my favorite games as a kid! i watched my dad play this and unreal sitting on his lap at the desk in them times which i barley remember. but. the sounds and being able to shoot and blow up players into peices is satisfying and fun! the other quake games i really do not care about as much as i do about this one! even the latest quake game! which the nostalgia with this game when i play it goes through the roof with me! imo. no other deathmatch game or the newest ones makes up to this game which is a few decades old! a short tragic story i ended up falling and hitting my head on my dads chair and my forhead was bleeding and had to be taken into the hospital which now left me a V shape scar on the front of my forhead.

Fun game, too many bots.

I played this back in the day and had a blast. Picked it up recently on GOG in 2022, and the majority of servers are just full of bots and spectators. I guess if you want it for nostalgia, go for it. If you're expecting the old school Quake III Arena, sadly, it's long gone.

Price is evil

Price is ridiculous, Bethesda probably wants to attack EA position.
