Quake III Arena

Linux Users: Just make sure to download the Quake 3 Script and XQF multiplayer server browser from the Ubuntu Store to play this game native, then you're good to go! Other than that, it is a great game as people still play it surprisingly! It is just pure fun!

Долго сомневался - стоит ли брать по такой цене, даже с учётом скидки -75%, ибо дорого. Всё же решился - и не жалею. Те же самые впечатления, что и в юности: тот же самый ураганный шутер и тот же закадровый голос с комментариями. Единственное, немного помучился с подбором разрешения под полный экран (остановился на 1152х864) - драйвер OpenGL выдавал ошибки. Видимо, придётся на досуге потанцевать с бубном. И да, игра через Интернет работает - серверов много.

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)?

Yep, it's been 20 years and I can still sit around all day and play Q3DM17 with bots on repeat.

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.
