#QUAKE 3 ROCKET ARENA 32 BIT#
#QUAKE 3 ROCKET ARENA PRO#

The game still looks good on a 3dfx card, but it really delivers on an ATI card. Textures are rich and highly detailed, effects like glows and light mapping are breath taking, and effects like rocket contrails are as gossamer as smoke.

Q3A runs in native 32 bit color and makes full use of the additional color range.

No other game can match the shear visual quality of this game, especially running on one of the new G4 systems with the Rage 128 Pro chip. Graphically, Q3A is the king of the hill. The models also have unique sounds to round out their character. A small woman model or a large cyborg occupy the same virtual amount of space and are no easier, or more difficult, to hit. The relative size of the models don't have any affect on their target profile, however. With a game so heavily focused on deathmatching, individualizing your character is very important and Id has thoughtfully offered a massive roster of models and skins.

Like real players, bots taunt and respond to your taunting. To keep the game fair to human players, bots don't know which other players are human or computer controlled and will take any kills they can get. They won't go hopping around the level to pick up ammo, but you can bet that they'll jump for the mega health or red armor. Bots can hear the sound of a powerup being picked up and have a random chance of realizing where that power up is. The bots themselves are very difficult to kill. Quake III Arena also has eight Capture the Flag specific levels for team play, as well as team deathmatching. The number of bots stay the same, but they become much more difficult to kill. As your ranking increases, the levels become more difficult. Each level has a fixed number of bots that is based on the size of the level.

Each tier will has three general purpose deathmatch levels and a final one on one level where the player fights a Boss deathmatch. The game is broken down into tiers, the four level unit that divides Quake III Arena's 24 levels down into six groups that loosely reflect difficulty. Don't get me wrong, I haven't stopped playing it since it was installed on my G4, but after a while the game leaves you wanting for more. Gameplay, gameplay, gameplay, but not much variety. He Quake series, in many ways, was always about gameplay rather than innovation (of the non-technical variety,) and that is exactly what the boys at ID Software have delivered with Quake 3 Arena.
