Quake III does fantastic deathmatch, but little else…
How’s this for close surveillance?
You can’t talk much about first-person shooters and not mention id Software. The once tiny developer essentially created the genre with Wolfenstein 3D, way back in the days when a 486 was considered a smoking-fast machine. While its first 3D shooter garnered a lot of due praise and recognition, it was their next game that made id’s fortune and established their reputation as leaders in the action game industry for years to come. Doom soared in popularity in part thanks to its introduction of the concept of deathmatch, and laid a lot of the groundwork for contemporary multiplayer gaming to follow.
Their aspiring post-Doom flagship shooter, Quake, earned them more fame and truckloads of cash. While the first Quake and its sequel were equally divided between singleplayer and multiplayer portions, id’s Quake III: Arena scrapped the traditional solo campaign altogether so they can better focus on what they believed is the real meat of the first-person shooter – online multiplayer, or more specifically, online deathmatch gaming.
Despite the profusion of multiplayer-only titles, id was adamant that Quake III Arena would not be a multiplayer-only game. There would be a strong singleplayer element as well – a progressive deathmatch campaign against computer-controlled bots that id insisted would be an entertaining game experience in its own right, rather than a mere training ground to prepare players to face human opponents online. More than that, they aspired to create a product that would introduce deathmatch to the mass market and compete directly with Epic’s fabulous Unreal Tournament.
Meeting Up Old Friends
On the retro side we’re reacquainted with many characters from past id games, although they serve little more than clothing for your avatar or cannon fodder as bots. Once you have completed the requisite training map (which is a little light on the training), you unlock the first “tier” of bot arenas. The entire singleplayer game is arranged in tiers, each composed of three different deathmatch maps and a final one-on-one “tournament” map. Much like in Unreal Tournament, it’s pointless grinding through the singleplayer when you can already play everything in skirmishes.
This brings up one of the singleplayer’s biggest drawbacks – there simply is not enough content. Unless you enjoy playing the game with the difficulty set so high that you have to replay every map seven times over, the average player can easily finish the singleplayer “campaign” in a single weekend. Of course you can go back and replay any map that you have already beaten – the tier-centric campaign takes note of various accomplishments you’ve previously earned, which is the only thing differentiating it from playing skirmish matches.
The bot AI is another concern. It’s not as if the bots aren’t technically impressive – in many ways they are. If you’re standing outside a bot’s field of view, that bot will not realize that you are there (unless it turns around or you start shooting). Each of the bots is programmed to favor different weapons and each one has a different predisposition in combat, giving them some semblance of personality. They’re quite chatty and eager to taunt you after gunning you down or delivering praise should you score an impressive kill. There’s even a simplistic inbuilt text parser, so game characters can recognize and respond to some of your own messages – but this is mostly a hit or miss deal.
Creepy little secrets like this show up at times.
Where the bots really annoy is how they cheat on higher difficulty levels. On “Hurt Me Plenty” they hit with any weapon a suspiciously high percentage of the time, and it just gets more absurd from there. They also move and jump around constantly, and while this makes them a lot tougher to kill it seems to have no effect at all on their godlike aim. They will hit you with the railgun with casual ease, mid-jump, while you are dodging at close quarters. They make prediction shots with the precision of… well, a computer. They will “juggle” you with rockets (one rocket knocks you helplessly into the air, the next kills you before you hit the ground).
Here’s the problem—this simply isn’t very satisfying. When a bot kills you by picking you out of the air, mid-jump off an accelerator pad, with a rocket… you feel cheated. Newbies will find themselves quickly outclassed by the game’s rapid advance in difficulty, and veteran players will find the bot behavior on higher difficulty levels as annoying as it is challenging. It would have been better if the bots actually got smarter rather than inhumanly precise, but really they don’t (or at least not by much).
- The game gets a little hectic when you pick up Quad Damage.
- The level selection screen.
- Being a pesky camper with the Railgun.
The Online Arena
Multiplayer is, of course, where the game really shines. This probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone, but the game really is a step beyond past id offerings in this respect. The interface is very user-friendly and good news to players who are newcomers to internet shooters (you can still play it on GameRanger). Once you delve into the multiplayer, you start to appreciate its subtleties. The weapons are superbly balanced, and a lot of thought has obviously gone into item placement. The maps themselves are finely built and look superb thanks to the state-of-the-art engine, with clever secrets and the ocasional hidden super-weapon placed here and there.
But once again, the real demon here is the lack of variety – although you get quite a large number of maps, a disproportionate amount are centered around deathmatch, and while Quake III is great at inducing the frantic fun of gratuitous online fragfests, it ranks much poorly on other fronts. The only other notable game mode you get is a negligible Capture The Flag, with too few maps and an underdeveloped team-play aspect, both fatal flaws.
CTF mode is featured, but it’s not really fun.
Players have become more sophisticated than this – they want complex objective-based levels that require people working as a team. Sadly, this concept is missing in Quake 3, as the game utterly lacks the diversity, customization options, game modes and map themes of Unreal Tournament, it’s main competitor at the time. It is for this reason that Q3A ultimately cannot surpass its rival. As far as deathmatch goes, however, it’s pretty much the best ride in town – finely polished, fast-paced and well designed, you can have some great fun with it – it’s just that Quake III can’t quite reach anything beyond its immediate grasp.

Hardcore Quake-aholics will dig it.
Quake 3 Arena did excellent deathmatch in its day, but as far as the online crowd is concerned, team-based action is where it’s at. There was a superfulous CTF mode bundled into the original package, but it was clearly an afterthought. Then id tried to remedy this issue with Team Arena, an add-on disk that needs the original Quake 3 to be installed. It might not be up to the quality of Unreal Tournament, but it definitely has its own brand of twitch action.
Team Arena’s big addition to the Quake universe is a variety of different character classes, which are assigned by grabbing flashing color-coded pick-ups that give new abilities. For example, a Guard benefits from increased health and armor, Scouts boogie along and fire at an increased rate, and Doublers do two times the damage.
There are also new special items, similar to “runes” in Classic Quake CTF mods. The Invulnerability Sphere deflects all incoming attacks but renders you stationary, and the Kamikaze sends a shockwave ripping through the arena at the cost of your own life. You’ll also find shiny new weapons to tear apart your opponents – prox grenades, nail guns, and the Doom chaingun are back in full effect. While the end result isn’t an entirely new game, these goodies add an extra layer of complexity to the proven gameplay of Quake 3.

Quake 3 Team Arena sports four teamplay modes, two of which are standard Capture the Flag games (you know, the same CTF that was included with the original Quake 3 Arena). One of the new modes is Harvester, wherein you grab the skulls of your fallen enemies and return them to your base for big points. It’s the sort of deviant and humorous gameplay you’d expect from id. The other is a straightforward game called Overload, where you shoot at a floating skull located in the enemy base.

As with Quake 3, it’s all playable online (with people) and offline (with bots). The AI bots put up a good fight, and seem to follow orders fairly well, managed by a redesigned interface that pays homage to Unreal Tournament. Giving orders and mucking with game settings is as easy as picking and clicking on pull-down menus, making gauche console commands a thing of the past. Bots are also more communicative and are always telling you whether they’re attacking or defending.
Similarly impressive Team Arena is the collection of levels, which includes fresh teamplay, CTF, and standard deathmatch tournament arenas (20 new maps in all). However, the real stars of the show are the outdoor maps, which feature sprawling environments that are bigger than any Quake levels you’ve ever seen. What’s especially impressive is how these maps are optimized for speed. They’ll satisfy anyone who likes the wide-open arenas of Tribes and the grimy, claustrophobic interiors of Quake.
