I run across the map and onto the pad, and I go flying through the air screaming 'aieeeeeee', then, just to put a stop to your fun, a rail gun blasts you in the face and blood sprays the nearby walls. Oh well, I'll just respawn and shoot him with his own Rail gun. You appear, you have a machine gun so you use it on the nearest 2 goons, that will show them for trying to kill me, they don't crumple to the ground, but rather explode in a fountain of blood (you can turn this off with a console command). You walk through the area of red smoke as it clears, you pull out the rail gun that you claimed from the body and shoot each of your enemy's, in turn, in the back of the head *bang, bang, bang,*. While the game would not appear very rewarding to the untrained eye, it is the satisfaction of the enemies exploding and the voice that says *3 frags left, 2 frags left, 1 frag left, you have WON THE MATCH*
Graphics
Well, the graphics couldn't hold up a candle to Crysis, but they were very lifelike back in the 1999 release date
Sound
Nothing beats the announcer telling you how many kills you have left before you have won the match, and the rocket launcher will never sound the same again.
Gameplay
Typical run-and-gun, unlike Max Payne, nothing gets in the way of blowing the man up you were chasing!
Cons
Gets a bit samey after a while, but that's the point (-0)

Quake 3 Arena marks a shift in id's focus onto competitive multiplayer, but it retains most of id's traditions.

- With Quake 4's editor, I made a handful of maps that would later compile into a "Quake 2 for 4" mod. The level layout and texturing was purposely aweful so to remind you of the aweful graphics from the good old days.Posted Nov 10, 2010
