ABOUT QUAKE 3

Like its predecessors Quake 3 brings back the action of the first person shooting games. Quake 3 brings a large variety of new arenas to do battle in, great looking new models for the players to choose from, spectacular multi player action and support for single player where the player plays bots.

Quake III is a must for anyone who has enjoyed the previous versions of Quake or is interested in getting into first person shooting games.

ABOUT TEAM ARENA

Quake III: Team Arena brings even more of a punch for players who enjoy Quake 3.  Team Arena has new weapons such as the nail gun, prox launcher, chain gun. New abilities such as kamikaze and invulnerability sphere, new game modes such as new modes of CTF, harvester, hunting and overload.

Anyone who really enjoys Quake III will definitely enjoy Team Arena.

Harvester - Objective is to collect skulls in the middle of the map that are generated when a member of the opposite team dies. Once skulls are collected you must take them to the enemy base to score. If you are killed you loose all skulls.
Overload - Objective is to destroy the other teams  skull-adorned obelisk. The skull has a total of 2500 health and regenerates 1 health per second.
One flag CTF - Collect the flag in the middle of the map and return it to the enemy base without being killed.

New weapons:
Prox mine launcher - Launches prox mines on the ground, wall or other players. Will explode if enemy is close or after 30 seconds.
