Overview Quake III Arena (abbreviated Q3 or Q3A) is a First Person Shooter developed by for PC, it was released on December 2nd in 1999. Unlike its it is focused on Multiplayer and has a bare-bones Singleplayer campaign. Q3 has been ported to several different consoles, such,. The game was re-released for PC in 2010 as. Gameplay Quake III Arena is a very fast paced game which gives the player a large selection of powerups, items and ten different weapons, both hitscan and projectile based. The typical game modes in Quake III have the player spawn with just a weak Machinegun and no armor, the player will have to scavenge the map for more items and build up a stack so that he or she have a better chance against all other opponents.
When a player dies, he will loose all of his items and have to respawn, starting from scratch. The game ends once the frag or is reached.
Singleplayer You are a gladiator who have been selected to fight in the Arena Eternal, a dangerous dimension created by the elusive Vadrigar for their own personal amusement. In a world of complete chaos, you must battle through seven tiers of maps, facing increasingly stronger foes. There are awards for things such as killing enemies with a, getting multiple frags in a short amount of time and having a high accuracy. There is also varying degrees of, including:. I Can Win (easiest). Bring It On. Hurt Me Plenty.
Hardcore. Nightmare! (hardest) These are seven different tiers in singleplayer mode. Tier 0 - Introduction Opponent -. Tier 1 - Trainee Opponents -,.
Tier 2- Skilled Opponents -,. Tier 3- Combat Opponents -, Wrack,. Tier 4 - Warrior Opponents -,. Tier 5 - Veteran Opponents -,. Tier 6 - Master Opponents -,. Tier 7 - Elite Opponent - Strategy and tactics The strategical elements of Quake III are apparent in game modes such as Duel and Team Deathmatch where the players have to control certain key item areas on the map (Mega Health, Red armor and Quad damage for example) and fend off any opponents who are trying to do the same thing.
Because items respawn on specific intervals they will inevitably sync up at one point during a match, meaning that a player can't pick up both. Because of this, some players opt to delay certain items (standing idle next to them for a couple of seconds) just to be able to make it in time to both items the next time they spawn.
Movement One of the key aspects of Quake III is the freedom of movement it gives to the player. Bunny hop By continuously jumping, you gain speed and move faster. Circle jump By moving in a half circle with forward, strafe and mouse and then jump - you fly further than you normally would. It is a good way of starting your Bunny hop.
Strafe jump By using the strafe and forward keys while moving your mouse slightly in the same direction when Bunny hopping, you gain extra speed. Besides the default movement capabilities of the player character, players can also use certain weapons to get to places they normally wouldn't be able to reach. Grenade jump You can jump on top of grenades right before they explode to gain extra height. Plasma climb When standing next to a wall, shoot downward at an angle with the Plasma gun to climb the wall. Rocket jump Jump and then immediately shoot a rocket at your feet to gain extra height.
Game modes Quake III features four different gameplay modes that can be played with bots and humans. They are:. Free for All (FFA) -, the person with the highest amount of kills wins. (TDM) - Two teams compete for the most kills. (Duel) - 1v1 Deathmatch with spectators and tournament structure.
(CTF) - Two teams try to capture each others' while defending their own. Weapons The Quake III weapon list borrows from both the and franchises. Gauntlet Gauntlet The Gauntlet is essentially an electrified hand mounted blade.
Used as a last resort melee weapon, it does about 50 damage per hit, and can usually frag an enemy in 2 or 3 hits depending on health and armor values. Given the fast paced nature of Quake III, the Gauntlet is rarely ever used as people can easily avoid it. Also, surprise melee kills are almost impossible due to the weapon's loud noise when in use.
When a player kills somebody with the Gauntlet, the killing player is awarded a Humiliation point, which comes with its own separate icon. Multiple Humiliation icons stack up depending on the amount of kills, encouraging continued melee kills. Machinegun Machinegun The Machinegun is the weapon every freshly spawned player starts with. Like any other, you pull the trigger and bullets come out at high velocity.
At about 7 damage per shot, and a very high firing rate, the Machinegun is a fairly weak but serviceable starter weapon. It is good for finishing off opponents with low health on long distances. Shotgun Shotgun As the name implies, the in Quake III performs like one would expect a shotgun to: it fires a cone of 10 lead pellets.
Each pellet does 10 damage, totaling up to a possible 110 points of damage, making the Shotgun very effective at close range. Also, it's got a laser sight - deal with it. Grenade Launcher Grenade Launcher The Grenade Launcher fires pineapple sized ', which bounce around for a few seconds until. However, if a grenade comes in contact with a player it immediately explodes, bringing about the term 'grenade swallowing.'
While the latter is hard to accomplish, the Grenade Launcher is primarily used for littering a key area (items such as Red Armor or Mega Health) with very unpredictable that makes it tough for your opponent to get out without taking damage. Rocket Launcher Rocket Launcher The staple of Quake III: Arena is the. Firing explosive rocket projectiles, the real draw of the rocket launcher is it's. While it's easy to avoid a rocket, it's harder to avoid the explosion the rocket causes. Because of this, most Rocket Launcher wielding players will try to aim at the ground or nearby walls around a target. The rocket launcher is the most effective way in Quake III to leave your enemy in a shower of.
Not only used as a weapon, the explosive effect of the Rocket Launcher allows players to launch themselves up into the air. Combined with jumping (known as ), this allows players to reach places inaccessible through regular jumping. Certain professional players have developed a skill towards avoiding rocket fire commonly described by the community as being rocket scientists. Lighting Gun Lightning Gun Returning from the original Quake, the is almost like a, yet instead of discharging a plume of fire, it shoots out a. The lightning beam is also instantaneous and does not deteriorate from where the crosshair is aimed, making it more powerful in the hands of a player with good aim. The Lightning gun is suitable for medium range combat since it has a limited reach. Railgun Railgun Like it's Quake II predecessor, the Railgun fires a slug at extreme velocities, dealing massive damage.
The railgun is Quake III version of a sniper rifle; highly accurate, and extremely lethal - however because of its long recharge time, it is very dangerous to use in close combat. The Railgun leaves trail, making it very effective for tournament commentary and viewership. The Railgun is the most common weapon used in the various Instagib mods for Quake III Plasmagun Plasmagun First found in Doom, the plasma gun acts like the Machinegun, spewing out orbs of plasma at a high rate of fire with a small radius of splash damage. The Plasmagun is one of the strongest weapons in the game (but also very hard to master) and is especially deadly in tight corridors. Because of its splash damage it allows some skilled players to 'plasma climb', firing the Plasma gun underneath them against a wall to 'climb' up walls.
BFG 10K BFG 10k While previous versions of the BFG fired slow moving balls of energy, the BFG operates as a souped up version of the Plasmagun. The BFG fires large bolts of plasma at a high rate of fire, causing even the most heavily armored characters to turn to gibs in only 2-3 well placed shots. Medals Medals are awarded to players for high skill play in the matches. Upon receiving a medal, it is displayed on the character's head showing the icon. Excellent This medal is awarded for killing more than two players in a row in two seconds. Because this medal can be stacked, it's possible to receive medals very quickly if there are a huge number of players playing. Impressive A medal that is achieved once a player uses the Railgun and kills two players in a row.
Again, this medal can also be stacked so killing more players in a row with the Railgun will result in receiving more 'Impressive' medals. Perfect This medal is gained once a match is over and a player does not get killed at all. A near impossible medal to receive in a multiplayer match. Humiliation Considering that majority of all weapons are used for shooting at distances, the gauntlet can still be used to kill enemies and the announcer would shout: 'Humiliation', to confirm the kill.
Can be stacked so that more medals can be received by using the gauntlet. Accuracy When the accuracy of shots is above 50% in a match, this medal is awarded. Frags After reaching 100 frags, a medal is awarded and can be stacked.
The counter is shown every 100 with a number and can be seen when accessing the Single Player mode. While it isn't a medal, the announcer will shout 'HOLY SHIT' when you frag an opponent who is just meters away from scoring a point in Capture the Flag.
Modifications Like previous Quake games, Quake III: Arena has a strong mod community. There are countless modifications, ranging from small tweaks to total conversions. Some of the more popular mods are:. (Challenge Promode Arena) - Competitive feature set, supports a large variety of game modes (including Rocket Arena) and two gameplay styles (Vanilla Q3 and Promode). Allows players to engage in trick-jumping.
Round based game mode, every player starts with all weapons and armor in teams of two. Tactical-shooting experience (Free, stand-alone game). (Orange Smoothie Productions) - Competitive feature set (deprecated, see CPMA).
Ports and other versions Quake III Arena (Dreamcast) Quake III Arena on Dreamcast Developed by Raster Productions for the game console, Quake 3 became one of the flagship titles for Sega's online service by making use of either the dial-up modem or the Broadband Adapter sold separately. Up to four players can play offline through.
There were several compromises made in order for the game to run on the platform, such as bringing the total player count down to four players offline and online. When more players play on one console, the choices of levels shrink due to memory limitations of the platform. Certain levels were altered due to system limitations or for a more streamlined experience. The Dreamcast version offers several control schemes, including support for the regular controller, the MadCatz Panther DC, as well as proprietary Dreamcast keyboard and mouse accessories.
Each control accessory plugged in can be mapped to any active player. For example, four individual control types can be mapped to four active players. A mouse and keyboard can be paired to one active player, which allows two player split-screen gameplay with two keyboards and two mice. You can even set four mice to four separate players for mouse-only combat. Keyboard control allows for text messaging during online gameplay to talk with other players or team members in team games. Only one player per console can play online.
The game also features exclusive content including levels made just for the Dreamcast version including one level provided exclusively to paying SegaNet members and VMU mini games that unlock cheat codes for offline gameplay based on progression in the Single Player game and difficulty played. The Dreamcast version also introduced a feature, allowing Dreamcast users to play against PC users. Quake III Revolution (PlayStation 2) Quake III: Revolution This is the incarnation of Quake 3 for the game console.
Revolution plays really close to its PC brethren except for controls and just a few tweaks. One of the greater and most innovative things about this version is the campaign and being able to build up your characters in a RPG-esque manner.
The game supports up to four players offline in split-screen gameplay through a multi-tap adapter. Quake Arena Arcade (Xbox 360) Quake Arena Arcade was officially announced by Id Software at QuakeCon 2007. An ESRB listing at the time confirmed that, notable for work with the Call of Duty franchise, would be handling the port. Development then went silent until February of 2009 when John Carmack stated that Quake Arena Arcade was 'very close' to finished.
The game was eventually released to XBLA on December 15, 2010 to tepid critical response due primarily to a lack of local split-screen play and connection issues on Xbox Live. Quake Live Quake Live (known as Quake Zero during development) was released in 2010 as an updated version of Quake III Arena. It was originally a free, ad-supported game which ran in a web browser. In 2015 the game moved away from that model and must be purchased from as stand-alone software.

Said: said: I think the biggest problem with creating proper, playable, and most importantly, fun tutorials in this game is with establishing a performance baseline that you want a player to achieve upon tutorial completion. In CSGO, the gameplay loop is simple and rounds are short, so the tutorial just makes sure you understand that you need to aim, plant, and defuse, and afterwards wishes you GLHF. In R6S, there are more mechanics to learn than just moving about and shooting, so the situations are tailored towards teaching you those. But what would be the baseline in Quake? What's the most difficult thing that EVERYONE at level 1 should know, after which the tutorial is considered complete? The tutorial should include a strafe jump section and a mini-match with a bot, so that the player will be aware of movement basics and will not ask people on the server if they are cheating because they move so fast, plus will gather a basic understanding of how actual combat looks like, i.e.
The amount of hits necessary to take the enemy down etc, which will save them the shock of enemies not dying from single MG rounds and stuff. I suppose that these things sound blindingly obvious from the standpoint of an average arena shooter player, but some players don't have a clue, I have seen a guy once who wanted to avoid being hit in Quake. OK, I'll put it like this: when you are in a store doing groceries and stuff, sometimes you might notice two types of people. The first type is the 'shopping list' guys, who know exactly what they want from what brand for what price. The other one is the 'window shopper' kind, those are the people that know they need some eggs but have trouble deciding on the brand and price category, so you'll see them often taking more things than they actually need because they try stuff out.
What you're doing right now is telling me what should be included into the tutorial. I'm asking instead: what is the last (most difficult) thing the lvl1 player should do in the tutorial, at which the tutorial is complete? At which point do we consider our shopping list to be full?

You forgot the third kind, those who play DOOM SLAYER before going to the store to get supplies. What is needed is more blackjack and hookers, to quote Clutch's grand-grandfather!
From my POV ( which you will also find on bornhub. Com/BJBlowskovich/yomom/ ) a proper Tutorial must be top priority. Which should include modes like race, timing, combo,stayalive, trickjumping.You will be seriously squashed and discouraged before learning something in a live match. Then, add bots online in custom matches, make sure your matchmaking is smart, make sure your cheating system works and you shows us, make in-game notifications, make the bans public. All of this will build confidence in the new player. After that just work on Quality of Life features: rework the vanity factor of cosmetics/items which are insufficient and not unique enough compared to others approach on this gimmick, resource optimization, HUD customization, loot optimization, give a proper sense of progression, let us record matches ( as game option) and let us play them(demos). Make all Quake related events world wide available as an in-game menu as a media hub with proper instructions.
(' well there is a competition in Italy, ok, enlist. So now I have to play on Monday with NoobzSlayer.cool). We are lucky (in EU at least) that the community is not toxic, keep it this way (somehow) If all this are on the road-map then i'm sure we will have a steady players base. If not I lost 30E, so it's also on 'me' to make it my money's worth by marketing the game to my friends.which i do. Imo it's as most people have said it here. A proper tutorial w/bots if possible would be the best option.
Strafe Jumping Tutorial Quake Live For Mac Pc
Also good matchmaking / server browsers would be optimal. Either that or a setting that allows you to tell the game what level of skill you're comfortable with and match with people accordingly. Quake is a hard game, we all knew not everyone would like it from the get go. Movement, aiming, positioning, timing, strategy. These are all things you have to take into account in AFPS, which are often not capitalized on in other games.
It's not just movement or aiming as a lot of people think. Hell, even aiming is different in this game with all the different weapons. So we need a proper way of teaching people how to decently execute each of these skills. I'd say 3 tutorials, each capitalizing on one skill, then a bot match. So basically, in order: - movement: strafe jumping rocket jumping air control, slide and dodge - aiminig: weapon training - timing / positioning / strategy: pickup control bot match.

So basically, in order: - movement: strafe jumping rocket jumping air control, slide and dodge - aiminig: weapon training - timing / positioning / strategy: pickup control bot match Very well put answer. I fully agree with everything. matchmaking: essential to get bit more mass appeal since ppl don't get destroyed maximally on their very first game. aiming: new players most probably don't have idea about stuff like strafeaiming, forexample with rail or lg. movement: the thing if you don't know, you'll always be one step behind in getting to the pickups forexample. Stuff like circlejumps and wallstrafing are essential to know so I believe that should be taught by the game to new players and not by external user-made yt/we tutorials or personal coaching. items: this aspect so much.
Without knowing how important item control is, a new user can have really tough time grasping how their game improves quite much. Can we all at least acknowledge that there are 4 more tutorials coming? Just browsed through the comments to see again people whine over the 'un-needed weapons tutorial' at the moment. What part of 'there are 4 more tutorials coming soon' do people not get that are right there in front of you when selecting the first tutorial? Its not unneeded neither worthless. One of the biggest issues with new players is understanding how to switch weapons on the fly. Its a simple starter tutorial to teach you the simple basics of weapons, ammo and switching.
I mean, we had another guy in the forums post that 'there are no ammo boxes for the shotgun'. If they had bothered to pay attention to the tutorial it clearly shows each weapon its colour code and the ammo next to it (granted they could do a better job explaining some things, maybe add a voice over like Crash in QL or something). Weapon switching is actually such a big deal even I when I am more tired or simply not on my best game forget to utilise properly and end up using sometimes the first weapon I picked up more. And I've been playing Quake since Q1. Every now and then I get some great games in were I could have switched between even 3 weapons in a single fight and come on top because I changed it up enough to completely throw my enemy off and utilise the distance/damages to the best I could (I sure do love baiting Doom Slayers into their silly double jumps so I can rail them in the air as sitting ducks). Newcomers, I mean completely newcomers, need to understand this very first basic thing before anything else. Strafe jumping?
Strafe Jumping Tutorial Quake Live For Mac 2017
Most these people are running around with starter machine guns all day long. Whats a strafe jump going to do for them exactly? Picking up weapons in this tutorial means you can switch through them, have a quick taste of what they do, and be in a situation were in order to finish the tutorial they need to switch through all the weapons by the end at least twice. Is this all the tutorials we need? No, of course not. We need some proper movement tutorials, advanced weapon and movement tutorials, maybe some map control tutorials as well other than just showing us what pickups are and what they do (which the basic tutorial also teaches people about) that is more than just a video.
Also, the tutorial videos that explain some of the basics to the game should be more accessible and 'in your face', I assume most in here haven't even noticed those videos (3 is it I think?). Needing the rest (which are coming, and man, I would be down for a defrag type of tutorial as well) does not mean that the first tutorial atm is useless either. Its a great start and intro to the game.
There simply need to be more and again, like I said at the beginning, can we finally at last acknowledge that there are 4 more coming so this whining about 'we need more tutorials' stops already? The game is Early Access, its not finished. Deal with it, things will be missing and a lot of them too at this point. Lets get that performance fixed already then we can focus on things like tutorials for crying out loud. There is nothing to it. Even Quake Live had an easy tutorial that taught you rocket jumping, strafe jumping and circle jumping, and even had 3 tier levels for strafe jumping and rocket jumping, each tier pushing you that much more to complete it like a mini defrag mode. This can be done and I assume that is exactly what they are doing (one of the tutorials coming I am almost certain is a rocket jump tutorial, the one with Sorlag holding a rocket launcher in the picture). But, end of the day, even with those tutorials, I think we all agree that it still will not be enough and the best 'learning grounds' for Quake is adding bots.
Sorry to perhaps sound like a halfwit or idk, a nuisance, but it is getting frustrating at this point this whole talk about 'we need more tutorials and the first one is not enough'. Yes, thank you for stating the obvious people I thought id would have at least assured the half of you with those 'coming soon' tutorials right there but that didn't happen I guess. Meanwhile no, the initial tutorial is not useless. It is very much needed for the very first basics to the game.
It shows all pickups, it shows all weapons and what they do and has a shooting range for each, then forces you to put to use the mentality of switching weapons in a simple tutorial which is just that, simple. Its not meant to teach you strafe jumping neither perfect aiming or what not, so as a starter tutorial it does its job just fine. Just, add a voice over to it is all. Then we can wait for the other 4 to come as well. And hopefully at some point, bots. That is the best training for newcomers really.
Said: everyone wants a game in which they can move around and shoot others. And this is where qc fails massively. With anarki and slash both being almost unhittable with anything but rockets, new players simply dont like it.
The main problem imo is these so called 'squishies'. They are insanely hard to hit, move very fast and have absolutely no real weaknesses. This makes the game very frustrating for new players and pros alike. Imo devs should either massively enlarge the hitboxes or simply get rid of the squishies altogether. A game in which exists a super thin hitbox character who flies across the map and cant really be shot at is bound to fail. It's one of the big reasons why qc has completely failed.
No other fps game exists where it is so hard to hit particular characters. New players play the game to shoot stuff and have a fun time, which they end up missing. I bet u this, if every character had a hitbox like clutch then a lot of new players will actually stick to the game.
Why waste a time in an FPS game which has almost unhittable characters when u can simply play other fps games where u can actually shoot stuff? Devs decision has completely failed the game. I know i will get a lot of pro wannabes shouting at me for what i wrote, but i think thats an actual, genuine problem with the game. They should have kept the movement AND the hitboxes same. While giving each character a different ability and balance their stacks based on how useful their ability is. But alas they have decided to go this weird route of mixing movement styles, which might eventually completely kill the game AND the quake series altogether. I seriously wont be surprised.
I couldn't of said it better. The hitboxes and starting stacks is what had me concerned not the abilities since the game came out. Well, yesterday I told some noob guys on the other team to just buy Quake Live and play with bots ( since realistically playing on the servers they'll get a beating that's worse than what they can get in QC). They told me they're not paying 10 euros more for another game to learn to play this game. Which is fair. Here's an idea for id / Bethesda until we get those ( OFFLINE of course, never forget that) bots into QC: just bundle Quake Live with the champions pack.
I mean the QL bots are great, they're working offline, no lag, no rubber banding, no downtime. Noobs can learn a lot by playing versus them.It could backfire and get more people into Quake Live than QC but the probability of that happening is quite low.
( All in all, I personally like Quake Champions better when it works). Maybe it's a stupid idea, but it might serve as a substitute until we get actual training modes.And just maybe it will help just a little bit QC from hemorrhaging new players so badly. Even if Bethesda doesn't want to admit it, this is a BIG problem right now. I'm starting to see the same players over and over with fewer new faces by the day.

You're not gonna sell a game with 'hey! To get started in the game, you first must play this other game before you're ready for the game you actually bought.' What kinda image would that give about this? Not very strong. You should have required features within your game and not require user to shift between bunch of applications or any external things to learn key things about it.

You're right and I agree with you that it sounds terrible. Not very nice as a first impression. But it should be temporary until Bethesda introduces bots. Right now, as a new player, after you join, the experienced players will mop the floor with you. Zero chances to improve.
The optimal way is to improve the new player experience ASAP, like prio zero. But at the current speed it could take MONTHS. In fact, I think that Early Access should have never been released without OFFLINE bots. To at least give a chance to new players, and give an incentive to potential customers to buy it.
Very few buy a game to be repeatedly stomped.Are we sure that this game will still be salvageable after months of it offering a terrible experience for new players? -Even though I don't have a business degree, and I don't know all the details, It feels to me like most of these decisions are common sense and sometimes I feel like this game is being intentionally sabotaged. Boom 2 system-wide audio booster equalizer for mac. EDIT: The DOOM 2016 Alpha had OFFLINE bots. A year later they decide to release one of the most difficult to master shooters out there, unlike anything on the market for the last 8-10 years with no AI training. And after that we wonder why the steam reviews are looking how they look and why player counts are in free fall. EDIT 2: The worst part of it is that again, I feel like I'm talking to the walls.
