Quake III Gold (Collector's Edition) (PC, 2001)

Quake III Arena (also known as Quake 3; abbreviated as Q3A or Q3), is a multiplayer first-person shooter computer and video game released on December 2, 1999. The game was developed by id Software and featured music composed by Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly. Quake III Arena is the third in the series and differs from previous games in the series by excluding a traditional single-player element and focusing on multi-player action. The single-player is instead played against computer controlled bots in a similar style to Unreal Tournament.

Notable features of Quake 3 include the minimalist design, lacking rarely used items and features, the extensive customizability of player settings such as field of view, texture detail and enemy model, and advanced movement features such as strafe-jumping that give more speed with greater skill in contrast to the digital, all or nothing design of many computer games.


An expansion pack titled Quake III: Team Arena was released in December 2000 by id Software. It focused on team gameplay through new game modes and new weapons, items, and player models. Team Arena was criticized, as its additions were long overdue and had already been implemented by fan modifications. A few years later Quake III: Gold was released, including the original Quake III Arena and the Team Arena expansion pack bundled together.

Some weeks ago I cant write this review because some delivery issues but the game arrive to my home some days ago and i can ply now. This is the first time i play Quake 3. In 1997 i buy Quake and the 2 mission pack and the second game too.

This game can offer to the payer the option to play with the mouse like a fast point of view in the play. This is a totaly dificult game if you play it in the most dificult option reason for need more and faster moves to become more efective with weapons against the enemy.

Is a clear game. Very detailed for 2000, specialy the second CD the Team Arene addon.

I love the game Quake3 Arena.. im a pc gamer and i love arena games with teams and such multiplayer games similar to. i Bought it cause i could not find it any where else and the price was great. thank you i couldn't been it anywhere else

This game I originally purchased in 2000 for Sega Dreamcast....and have been hooked ever since. I own it on pc now and 6 years later still play multiplayer almost every night. All though the single player is not too enjoyable, Many mods and addons to make the multiplayer gaming experience evolve over time and many fun custom maps. I would give this a 10 out of 5 :).
