Quake 3 Arena is a mixed bag, while it
contains good old straight action with options including deathmatch,
team deathmatch and Capture the Flag it lacks a real single player
game and it also lacks many of the other types of multiplayer match's
such as King of the Hill. It is also designed with similar game play
to that of the previous quakes, all action little reality. It lacks
realistic walking, and weapons. None the less if you have enjoyed
the previous quakes, don't require any more than deathmatch and don't
mind getting mods and total conversions etc of the net, then you
will not miss out on anything and will additionally have a blast
while looking at stunning visuals. So to sum up, not alot has
changed since quake 1. But the graphics are improved and the single
player mode gone, but as we all know. This doesn't matter as multiplayer
is where the action lies and also where the many mods will become available
to extend these features.
