Quake III Arena is a 1999 first-person shooter game developed by id Software. The third installment of the Quake series, Arena differs from previous games by excluding a story-based single-player mode and focusing primarily on multiplayer gameplay. The single-player mode is played against computer-controlled bots. It features music composed by Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly founder Bill Leeb.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Still plays fine without mods, and there are still people online?! I love Quake II and UT99 more but this is still a classic. It's a shame that ID haven't given it the remaster treatment like Quake II, but that may happen one day.
One of the best fps arena games ever made. The competitive and action packed gameplay makes this game so intense and enjoyable at the same time. The graphics don't hold up as today's standards but the gameplay's timeless action. Q3 and CS 1.6 were the best games back in the day to learn skills and get good at multiplayer. It's so good to see that ID software still kept this game alive and around for the modern hardware.
i love the gameplay and the retro 90"s feel to the whole quake 3 universe
