Quake III Arena is a 1999

Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly founder Bill Leeb
.

Notable features of Quake III Arena include a minimalist design, very extensively customizable settings such as

rocket-jumping
.

The game was praised by reviewers who, for the most part, described the gameplay as fun and engaging. Many liked the crisp graphics and focus on multiplayer. Quake III Arena has also been used extensively in professional

Electronic Sports World Cup
.

Gameplay

Unlike its predecessors, Quake III Arena does not have a single-player campaign. Instead, it simulates the multiplayer experience with

BFG
.

In Quake III Arena, the player progresses through tiers of maps, combating different

boss battles
'.

The weapons are balanced by role, with each weapon having advantages in certain situations, such as the railgun at long-range and the lightning gun at close quarters. The

spawn
weapons for the current map, usually the gauntlet and machine gun. Players also drop the weapon they were using when killed, which other players can then pick up.

Quake III Arena comes with several gameplay modes:

Capture the Flag
, which is played on symmetrical maps where teams have to recover the enemy flag from the opponents' base while retaining their own.

Quake III Arena was specifically designed for

QuakeWorld
, that is still active as of 2021.

Characters

Quake III Arena features several characters from previous entries in the Quake series including "Bitterman" from Quake II, the "Ranger" character from Quake as well as Doomguy from id Software's sister franchise Doom.

Development

During early March 1999,

CEO of Apple Inc. at the time when it unveiled).[9] This was a functional version of the engine with a textured level and working guns. The IHV contained most of the weapons (excepting the Gauntlet) that would make it into the final game although most were not fully modeled; a chainsaw and grappling hook were also in the IHV but did not make it into the final release. Many of the sounds that would make it into the final release were also included. The game was developed by nine people in 18 months.[10]

After the IHV leak, id Software released a beta of the game called Quake III Arena Test on April 24, 1999, initially only for Mac OS[11] before expanding to Windows at a later date. The Q3Test started with version 1.05 and included three levels that would be included in the final release: dm7, dm17, and q3tourney2. Id Software continued to update Q3Test up until version 1.09.[12]

id co-founder and former technical director John Carmack has stated that Quake III Arena is his favorite game he has worked on.[13]

Quake III Arena was shipped to retailers on December 2, 1999; the official

Babbage's and EB Games.[14] The game supported the A3D 2.0 HRTF technology by Aureal Semiconductor out of the box.[15]

Game engine

Main article: id Tech 3
A mirror reflects Sarge and the Quake III logo in the opening scene of the first level, Q3DM0.

The id Tech 3 engine is the name given to the engine that was developed for Quake III Arena. Unlike most other games released at the time, Quake III Arena requires an OpenGL-compliant graphics accelerator to run. The game does not include a software or Direct3D renderer.

The graphic technology of the game is based tightly around a "

.md3 format), allowing models to maintain separate torso and leg animations and hold weapons. Quake 3 is one of the first games where the third-person model is able to look up and down and around as the head, torso and legs are separate. Other visual features include volumetric fog
, mirrors, portals, decals, and wave-form vertex distortion.

For networking, id Tech 3 uses a "snapshot" system to relay information about game "frames" to the client over

x86 and PowerPC architectures, executing QVM instructions via an interpreter
.

Quake III Arena features an advanced AI with five difficulty levels which can accommodate both a beginner and an advanced player, though they usually do not pose a challenge to high-tier or competitive players. Each bot has its own, often humorous, 'personality', expressed as scripted lines that are triggered to simulate real player chat. If the player types certain phrases, the bots may respond: for example, typing "You bore me" might cause a bot to reply "You should have been here 3 hours ago!". Each bot has a number of alternative lines to reduce the repetition of bot chatter. The Gladiator bots from Quake II were ported to Quake III Arena and incorporated into the game by their creator - Jan Paul van Waveren, aka Mr. Elusive.[18][19] Bot chat lines were written by R. A. Salvatore, Seven Swords and Steve Winter.[20] Xaero, the hardest opponent in the game, was based on the Gladiator bot Zero. The bot Hunter appears on magazine covers in the later id game Doom 3.

On August 19, 2005, id Software released the complete source code for Quake III Arena under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later,[21] as they have for most of their prior engines. As before, the engine, but not the content such as textures and models, was released, so that anyone who wishes to build the game from source will still need an original copy of the game to play it as intended.

Mods

Like its predecessors,

Team Fortress mod with many clans and leagues competing in both games simultaneously. Q3F was eventually ported to another Quake 3 mod Enemy Territory Fortress which had limited success. The developers of Q3F eventually abandoned the mod but used it to create the standalone 2003 game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
, which uses the Quake 3 engine and is still popular with approximately 9,400 active players in 2018.

Fast inverse square root

Main article: Fast inverse square root

Fast inverse square root, sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5F3759DF, is an algorithm that estimates , the

floating-point
number  in IEEE 754 floating-point format. The algorithm is best known for its implementation in the source code of Quake III Arena.

At the time, it was generally

computationally expensive
to compute the reciprocal of a floating-point number, especially on a large scale. However, the fast inverse square root bypassed this step.

Around 2002, initial speculation pointed to John Carmack as the probable author of the code, but he demurred and suggested it was written by Terje Mathisen, an accomplished assembly programmer who had previously helped id Software with Quake optimization. Mathisen had written an implementation of a similar bit of code in the late 1990s, but the original authors proved to be much further back in the history of 3D computer graphics with Gary Tarolli's implementation for the SGI Indigo as a possible earliest known use.


Expansion

An

Hybrid Disc CD-ROM.[22] Canadian electro-industrial band Front Line Assembly made the soundtrack for the expansion,[23]
the counterpart to Sonic Mayhem's Quake III Arena: Noize.

Ports

Official

As a result of the disappointing sales of Blue Stinger, Activision was discouraged from publishing further titles for the Dreamcast and relinquished the distribution of the Dreamcast version of Quake III Arena (ported by Raster Productions) to Sega. First announced on January 29, 2000.[24] and released on October 23, 2000,[25] the Dreamcast version of Quake III featured 4 player cross-platform play between Dreamcast and PC players. It is often considered one of the best PC-to-console ports of its time thanks to its smooth frame rate and online play.[26] There are still communities that play this version online on the remaining dedicated servers running patch version 1.16n and the required map pack.[27] The Dreamcast version of Quake III also included VMU Maze mini-games.[25]

Quake III Revolution (ported by

Electronic Arts Square in Japan) was released for the PlayStation 2 in March 2001,[28] featuring several elements adopted from Team Arena, along with a more mission-based single-player mode. It features split-screen multiplayer for up to 4 players with the PS2 Multitap. As the game was an early PS2 title, it lacked online play - Sony would not launch their network functionality in North America until August 2002. GameRankings rated the release at 83%.[29] Quake III Revolution was widely criticized for having long loading times compared to the Dreamcast and PC versions, poor game balance, and for not including USB mouse and keyboard support out of the box (unlike the PlayStation 2's version of Unreal Tournament).[30][31]

Quake III Arena Arcade for the

John Carmack stated touch screen controls would not be implemented, as he preferred the game be played with the D-pad instead.[34] This version was silently cancelled. Quake Zero was announced at QuakeCon on August 3, 2007, and was an updated version of Quake 3 Arena, distributed by free download, run in a browser window and supported by built-in advertising content.[35] Quake Zero was launched as Quake Live,[36]
released in 2010.

On November 15, 2021,

S consoles backward compatible with Quake III Arena Arcade, one of 76 titles published in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original Xbox console's launch.[37]

Source ports

Quake III Arena has been unofficially ported to several consoles, including the PlayStation Portable handheld and Xbox console. These versions require a modified console or handheld and the assets to the original game to go along with the source port.

Carmack has said that Quake Trilogy (including Arena) will be ported on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. An unofficial version for iOS was released through Cydia for jailbroken iOS devices in April 2008; it is a demo version similar to the original except that it integrates the iPhone and iPod Touch's accelerometer and touch controls to make gameplay possible.[38] A high-definition version for iPad was released in November 2010, featuring re-created controls, sharper graphics, better gameplay, and better framerate;[39][40] this improved version was also integrated into the iPhone and iPod touch version of the port.

Motorola Milestone,[44] Motorola Droid,[45] and the Nexus One, as well as other high-end devices.[46]

In August 2011, the ARM-based Raspberry Pi credit card-sized computer was shown running a specially-compiled ARM version of Quake III on Debian.[47]

In February 2019, an unofficial port of Quake III called ioQuake3DS was released for the

homebrewed in order to be run.[48]

Reception

Sales

Quake III's sales surpassed 50,000 copies during its first three days of release, by which time 1 million copies had been printed.[49] It debuted at #5 on PC Data's weekly computer game sales chart for the December 5–11 period.[50] The game rose to fourth place in the weekly top 10 the following week.[51] Domestically, it sold 222,840 copies and earned revenues of $10.1 million (~$17 million in 2023) by early 2000.[52]

In North America, Quake III sold 168,309 copies and earned $7.65 million (~$12.9 million in 2023) from January through October 2000, according to

Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[56] indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[57]

Critical reception

"If you’re looking to buy Quake III Arena for an awesome single-player experience, this game isn’t for you. If you’re yearning for silky-smooth online deathmatches, and crave to push your top-of-the-line PC to the threshold of its performance, then perhaps Quake III Arena is the only game you'll ever need…".

—Robert Howarth of

Diehard GameFan in 1999[64]

Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating in the 0–100 range, calculated an average score of 93 out of 100 ("Universal acclaim/Must-Play") for the Dreamcast version,[98] 84 out of 100 ("Generally favorable reviews") for the PlayStation 2 version's Revolution edition.[99] while the Xbox Live Arcade version's Arena Arcade edition received a lowest score with the average score of 69 out of 100 ("Mixed or Average").[100]

Reviews for the game were very positive, with many describing the game as fast and addictive.

Diehard GameFan review by Robert Howarth described the game as the best "pure deathmatch" experience around, but criticised the game's frame rate, which didn't run very well on low-end systems and required either a RIVA TNT2 or GeForce 256 GPU to run the game at an acceptable frame rate.[64] GameSpot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann described the game as outstanding. He noted the fun level designs, great-looking textures, impressive special effects and weapons sounds.[6] Gerstmann however criticised the narrator's voice and thought that some levels could become too crowded when playing multiplayer.[6] An IGN review felt the game lacked originality but enjoyed the detailed wall textures and outer space jump levels. The high number of character skins and the artificial intelligence of opponent bots were praised but the weapons were said to be "bland and predictable".[74] A Eurogamer review described the game as "polished" and "stunning" and thought that it "was extremely well balanced and plays very well". The reviewer was especially pleased with the customisable 3D engine and looked forward to new maps and mods.[102]

Blake Fischer reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it five stars out of five, describing it as "the best deathmatch yet. Period. End of story. If you want single-player or a storyline, buy Half-Life. If you want great DM and near-infinite expandability, Quake III is the best in the business".[79]

Frank O'Connor reviewed the Dreamcast version of the game for

Chu Chu Rocket".[78] The Dreamcast version won GameSpot's annual "Best Multiplayer Game" award among console games, and was a runner-up in the "Best Shooting Game" category, which went to Perfect Dark.[103]

""Quake III: Revolution" proves that the PS2 can certainly do great first-person action, and while the single-player game gets monotonous after a while, the split-screen multiplayer action makes this a must-have for fans of group gaming. Great graphics, intelligent control, and fast-paced gameplay add up to a topnotch piece of action and one of the best games on the system".

—Jason D'Aprile of

X-Play in 2001[88]

Garrett Kenyon reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "all in all, this is a fast and beautiful game – easily the best shooter available for PS2".[80] Japanese gaming magazine Shūkan Famicom Tsūshin scored the PlayStation 2 version of the game a 25 out of 40 (63 out of 100 for online version),[63] while a User Reviewer average scored at the MK2network website are scored 62 out of 100.[92] The PlayStation 2 version was a nominee for The Electric Playground's 2001 Blister Awards for "Best Console Shooter Game", but lost to Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox.[104]

Quake III Arena won

PC Gamer US's 1999 "Special Achievement in Graphics" award, and wrote that it "set a new high-water mark in 3D graphics this year".[105] During the 3rd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the game was nominated for "Computer Action Game of the Year", which was ultimately awarded to Half-Life: Opposing Force.[d][106]

In January 2016, Red Bull labeled Q3DM17 (The Longest Yard) one of the 10 greatest FPS multiplayer levels of all time.[107]

Competitive play

Quake III Arena's multiplayer-focused development led to it developing a large community of competitive players and like its predecessors it was used extensively in professional

electronic sports tournaments. In competitive Quake III Arena there are two distinct gameplays, often referred to as 'rulesets', the out-of-the-box Quake III Arena game, also known as vanilla Quake 3 (VQ3), and the CPM ruleset of the Challenge Pro Mode Arena mod. On July 26, 2006, Challenge Pro Mode Arena with VQ3 gameplay was chosen by Cyberathlete Professional League as the mod of choice for their tournament, making it the standard competitive mod for Quake III Arena. Previously, Orange Smoothie Productions was the most widely used tournament mod.[108]

The following competitions have held Quake III events:

These competitions have now moved on to more recent games or have transitioned to its variant successor, Quake Live.
