The defenite multiplayer shooting experience. Forever. 0
Quake III Arena is like another Doom but 6 years later. Not in terms of gameplay but in terms of importance to the gaming industry. Quake III Arena is the ultimate multiplayer shooter experience and as far as I am concerned the ultimate multiplayer experience overall. For starters it sported the new Quake III engine that became industry standard for countless games. It was first to intruduce curved surfaces and new levels of dynamic lightning and organic surfaces. The soundtrack was mindblowing ...

Shame About The Multiplayer... 0
Anyone who remembers Quake 3 Arena back when it was released in 1999 knew it for one particular reason: multiplayer. Quake 3 thrived on the network based capabilities of computers of the time and anyone familiar with the Sega Dreamcast would've told you that the ability to play anyone in the world on Quake 3 played a large part to its success. So it is a wonder how Bullfrog were able to maintain a quantitative level of Quake 3 Arena's enjoyment with its semi-remake in the form of Quake 3 ...
