Quake III does fantastic deathmatch, but little else…

Description: Based on the best-selling PC series of the same name, Quake II sends you blasting through 19 levels and six worlds, as you try to make it out of each military base intact.

You can’t talk much about first-person shooters and not mention id Software. The once tiny developer essentially created the genre with Wolfenstein 3D, way back in the days when a 486 was considered a smoking-fast machine. While its first 3D shooter garnered a lot of due praise and recognition, it was their next game that made id’s fortune and established their reputation as leaders in the action game industry for years to come. Doom soared in popularity in part thanks to its introduction of the concept of deathmatch, and laid a lot of the groundwork for contemporary multiplayer gaming to follow.

Their aspiring post-Doom flagship shooter, Quake, earned them more fame and truckloads of cash. While the first Quake and its sequel were equally divided between singleplayer and multiplayer portions, id’s Quake III: Arena scrapped the traditional solo campaign altogether so they can better focus on what they believed is the real meat of the first-person shooter – online multiplayer, or more specifically, online deathmatch gaming.

Despite the profusion of multiplayer-only titles, id was adamant that Quake III Arena would not be a multiplayer-only game. There would be a strong singleplayer element as well – a progressive deathmatch campaign against computer-controlled bots that id insisted would be an entertaining game experience in its own right, rather than a mere training ground to prepare players to face human opponents online. More than that, they aspired to create a product that would introduce deathmatch to the mass market and compete directly with Epic’s fabulous Unreal Tournament.

Meeting Up Old Friends

On the retro side we’re reacquainted with many characters from past id games, although they serve little more than clothing for your avatar or cannon fodder as bots. Once you have completed the requisite training map (which is a little light on the training), you unlock the first “tier” of bot arenas. The entire singleplayer game is arranged in tiers, each composed of three different deathmatch maps and a final one-on-one “tournament” map. Much like in Unreal Tournament, it’s pointless grinding through the singleplayer when you can already play everything in skirmishes.

This brings up one of the singleplayer’s biggest drawbacks – there simply is not enough content. Unless you enjoy playing the game with the difficulty set so high that you have to replay every map seven times over, the average player can easily finish the singleplayer “campaign” in a single weekend. Of course you can go back and replay any map that you have already beaten – the tier-centric campaign takes note of various accomplishments you’ve previously earned, which is the only thing differentiating it from playing skirmish matches.

The bot AI is another concern. It’s not as if the bots aren’t technically impressive – in many ways they are. If you’re standing outside a bot’s field of view, that bot will not realize that you are there (unless it turns around or you start shooting). Each of the bots is programmed to favor different weapons and each one has a different predisposition in combat, giving them some semblance of personality. They’re quite chatty and eager to taunt you after gunning you down or delivering praise should you score an impressive kill. There’s even a simplistic inbuilt text parser, so game characters can recognize and respond to some of your own messages – but this is mostly a hit or miss deal.

Creepy little secrets like this show up at times.

Where the bots really annoy is how they cheat on higher difficulty levels. On “Hurt Me Plenty” they hit with any weapon a suspiciously high percentage of the time, and it just gets more absurd from there. They also move and jump around constantly, and while this makes them a lot tougher to kill it seems to have no effect at all on their godlike aim. They will hit you with the railgun with casual ease, mid-jump, while you are dodging at close quarters. They make prediction shots with the precision of… well, a computer. They will “juggle” you with rockets (one rocket knocks you helplessly into the air, the next kills you before you hit the ground).

Here’s the problem—this simply isn’t very satisfying. When a bot kills you by picking you out of the air, mid-jump off an accelerator pad, with a rocket… you feel cheated. Newbies will find themselves quickly outclassed by the game’s rapid advance in difficulty, and veteran players will find the bot behavior on higher difficulty levels as annoying as it is challenging. It would have been better if the bots actually got smarter rather than inhumanly precise, but really they don’t (or at least not by much).

The Online Arena

Multiplayer is, of course, where the game really shines. This probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone, but the game really is a step beyond past id offerings in this respect. The interface is very user-friendly and good news to players who are newcomers to internet shooters (you can still play it on GameRanger). Once you delve into the multiplayer, you start to appreciate its subtleties. The weapons are superbly balanced, and a lot of thought has obviously gone into item placement. The maps themselves are finely built and look superb thanks to the state-of-the-art engine, with clever secrets and the ocasional hidden super-weapon placed here and there.

But once again, the real demon here is the lack of variety – although you get quite a large number of maps, a disproportionate amount are centered around deathmatch, and while Quake III is great at inducing the frantic fun of gratuitous online fragfests, it ranks much poorly on other fronts. The only other notable game mode you get is a negligible Capture The Flag, with too few maps and an underdeveloped team-play aspect, both fatal flaws.

CTF mode is featured, but it’s not really fun.

Players have become more sophisticated than this – they want complex objective-based levels that require people working as a team. Sadly, this concept is missing in Quake 3, as the game utterly lacks the diversity, customization options, game modes and map themes of Unreal Tournament, it’s main competitor at the time. It is for this reason that Q3A ultimately cannot surpass its rival. As far as deathmatch goes, however, it’s pretty much the best ride in town – finely polished, fast-paced and well designed, you can have some great fun with it – it’s just that Quake III can’t quite reach anything beyond its immediate grasp.

Quake sprouts two horns and heralds a new era in 3D gaming.

Jump back in time a couple of decades and you’ll find what might be the greatest action game of all time. Quake is an all-out first-person splatterfest where you explore dark worlds, find keys, open doors and kill everything that moves. Gameplay is heavily influenced by Doom, id Software’s defining title, with a few major distinctions. The most obvious is the full 3D engine allowing for poly-based levels, enemies and weapons to grace our monitors like never before, officially advancing the first-person shooter into a new age of gaming.

Breaking New Grounds

Seen in OpenGL, a Shambler prepares to attack.

Experiencing a true 3D shooter for the first time is unlike anything you’ve experienced before in a computer game, and it’s this visceral appeal that made Quake the best action release of 1996. The engine has levels stretch across all three spatial planes, and contains poly-based monsters, items and weapons. Where before enemies were confined to 2D cutaways-status, Quake introduced fierce beasts that you could view from any angle, and who could attack you from both up high or down below. The initial buzz and expectations were so great that Quake raked up a whopping one million pre-orders.

Quake originally shipped under DOS and supported both software and hardware mode under Sierra’s Screamin’ 3D series of 3D accelerators, which relied on the Rendition V1000 chips specifically programmed for Quake. Purchasing Sierra’s 3D card cost a whopping 200$ while having 4MB of EDO DRAM, but they greatly improved the image quality and framerate of the game by taking the rendering workload off the processor. A Windows 95 port followed some time later. Seen here is GLQuake, an official source port from 1997. Should you have the original game, you can run it under any number of third-party source ports that can handle the game under Windows Vista / 7 / 8.

The Mystical Past Comes Alive

A fiend prepares to pounce on you. Behind his hideous figure stands the level exit door.

/rayman-3-hoodlum-havoc-download.html. The game is divided up into four Episodes that you must complete in any order to unlock a final showdown with Shub-Niggurath, the game’s Cthulhu inspired mega-monster. The way you select each chapter and difficulty setting is quite clever. You start in an open room with three hallways, each one representing the difficulty you wish to play at, and each path assumes a more menacing look on higher difficulties. After choosing your preferred skill level, you are again left in a hub complex that lets you select one of four episodes to play. Initial levels are comprised of human installations, but these eventually give way to darker runic and satanic-themed worlds.

Quake’s monsters, fifteen types in total, are divided far and wide. Some are universal while others are restricted to the theme of the level. Dark Knights, Ogres and Fiends can mainly be found in the medieval or runic-themed levels in the game, while possessed humans guard a network of military installations. One of the more interesting enemies is the Fiend, a savage creature with huge claws that leaps in the air in an attempt to cut you in half, or the Zombie that hurls bits of its own putrid flesh at you.

But Quake’s most iconic monster is the Shambler, a huge yeti-like creature with blood-soaked limbs and a giant gaping mouth. Just picture this encounter – you jump into a pool of water only to find it isn’t actually water, but immediately find yourself falling into a dark pit, hearing your legs crack as you hit the stone pavement. Out of the darkness you see the angry frame of a Shambler going your way, eager to claw you a new one.

Kill Your Friends

The single-player campaign is good, but where Quake truly shines is multiplayer. It was designed from the ground up as a client to server environment, allowing people to jump into hosted games at their leisure without interfering with every other connected player. Doom, C&C and its like used a much less forgiving peer-to-peer interface. The advantages of having a central server to call the shots from are obvious, allowing more control over the game, smoother gameplay and the ability to bridge different networks together. Joining wanton fragfests online was remarkably easy given the game’s wild popularity, and a few running servers still exist today.

Although revolutionary from a technical standpoint, Quake doesn’t really push the envelope as far as gameplay, having the same action trappings set by Doom and Wolfenstein. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time it’s unavoidable to compare Quake to 1995’s action game of the year, Duke Nukem 3D, which significantly raised the bar for all of action gaming. Quake’s levels are atmospheric, dark and often quite masochistic, but you can’t do much in them besides kill things, open doors and discover the odd secret area. The level themes, either dank dungeons or high-tech military stations, are fairly conventional, and the weapons lack the creative touches seen in Duke 3D.

The controls are spot-on, though Quake’s mouselook feature feels incomplete. You can use the mouse to look sideways but never up and down, a problem that’s easily fixed by enabling ‘+mlook’ via the console menu. And with that I’ll just wrap up this review by saying that Quake is an excellent, groundbreaking game. It’s fast, grim, energetic and I’ve had good fun replaying it.
