A legendary FPS that you need to play online.

User Rating: 9.5 | Quake III Arena PC
By OMGitsZAL | Review Date:
This game was my first ever PC demo. After being addicted to the demo, I decided to get the full game. I was not unimpressed. The graphics may be simple, but when you're playing a fast CTF game online, you'll barely notice them anyway. There are so many mods for this game. The single player in this game was generally half-baked as this game was meant for pure online play. It's short, but it's good practise to get you used to the weapons and maps.

The online play is what makes this game legendary, there are many servers, roughly 400 at one time on v1.16 and roughly 1300 at one time on v1.32. You'll never get bored, and there are many clans to join, people to meet (and frag) and mods to choose. There are 4 different types of match, Deathmatch, Team Deathman, Capture the Flag and Tourney. These are the defaults you get with the game. There are many more with different mods, such as Last Man Standing, and Freeze Tag (which is like Team Deathmatch, but with a twist).

There isn't much more to say about this game, but you must try it at least. It has probably revolutionized online play for FPSs everywhere.
