Quake III Arena

Quake III Arena is a fast-paced, skill-based first-person shooter set in high-tech and gothic arenas. Warriors from across time and space have been summoned to fight for the amusement of an ancient alien race. You wield guns and power-ups against other combatants in single-player and multiplayer battles.

Game modes

Multiplayer supports up to 16 players, and you can also play offline against AI-controlled bots. The main game includes four modes:

• Free for All (FFA): compete against every other player.
• Team Deathmatch (TDM): fight as part of a team.
• Tournament: battle one-on-one.
• Capture the Flag (CTF): compete to capture the opposing team's flag.

Arenas and weapons

The main game contains 35 gothic and science-fiction arenas and 12 weapons. You can also use power-ups during battles.
