This game is what all multiplayer online fps game should strive to be. Quake 3 is a fast pace fps that will keep you on your toes and keep your eyes pealed all the time. You have to keep moving and find weapons and upgrades before other players do in big complex maps and kill everyone. This is the original online fps experience all others are cheap chinese knock-offs 8/10

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.

brilliant old school twitch shooter

Played this a few years after release, when it was still extremely popular. No story, purely multiplayer; singleplayer is simulated multiplayer against lethal bots. If you're looking for a fast, streamlined game to test your reflexes and deathmatch skills, this is it. Although the characters are low-poly, the graphics still hold out, primarily due to the textures and lightning. Certainly, some of them were jaw-dropping at the time, invoking a justifiable accusation that the game was as much a deliberate advertisment for the Q3 engine as it was an arena shooter. Speaking of the engine, it's scalability is impressive. Turning off features sequentially enabled gameplay on weaker and weaker cards in an almost linear fashion, until it would run on almost any card that did texture-mapped triangles. John Carmack's magic! But that's something of no concern for even laptop bog-standard gpus today. Although Tribes revolutionised openworld multiplayer deathmatch and team gameplay modes, Q3 and UT pushed these right into the mainstream in 1999.

q3e open source multiplayer

i must have spent more time playing Q3 than any other game... always striving to win the multiplayer combat experience CTF was my goto, 3wave maps, osp mod... lots of experimental things like headhunter, instagib, excessive, killerbees, some kind of RTS tank mod?! at its height there were always players, new ideas, new things. things that make Quake3 relevant today: - modding - open source - community (shifted to quakelive?) (same as all the early idtech: open source GPL) on linux i play ioquake3 & quake3e (enhanced) these even run fluidly on a raspberry pi 4b dedicated servers keep the game alive. remember dedicated servers?! Arena style shooters have evolved since the late 90s early 2000s... that doesnt mean the originals are less than before. QuakeLive experimental browser game (free) was quite an upgrade. when my QL account was wiped for "inactivity" i gave up on that avenue. i earned a rare quakecon badge and it was gone, i never looked back.

Great game, on a sale

Although the game does not come with precompiled binaries for Linux, you can download ioQuake3 binaries through the package repository that you use. Pretty fun arena shooter!
