Players have an arsenal of nine well-balanced weapons at their disposal: Gauntlet, Machinegun, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Rocket Launcher, Lightning Gun, Railgun, Plasma Gun and a powerful BFG 10K, reminiscent of a similar model from the Doom series. The game is played at a much faster pace than in Quake II, although not as fast as in the first game. In terms of mechanics, the gameplay in Quake III: Arena does not differ significantly from what was offered in the multiplayer mode in previous installments of the series. In the game, we play as the greatest warriors of all time, who, to the delight of the Vadrigar race, compete with each other in specially designed arenas.

The game was released in 1999 on personal computers (Windows, Linux and Macintosh), and a year later it was also converted for the SEGA Dreamcast console.ĭue to the specifics of the production, the story of Quake III: Arena was only delicately outlined.

Developers from id Software studio decided to depart from the previous gameplay formula and focus entirely on multiplayer mode. Quake III: Arena is the third full-fledged installment of the popular FPS shooter series, which revolutionized and changed the face of the genre forever.
