Domain Name Com's - : Quake 3 Arena (Linux)

- Quake 3 Arena!?!?
It's been more years than I can remember since I bought and played this. It was great at the time. Nice to have a game on linux for a change. I stick to consoles now. Have gone mostly Mac too.

- An excellent value... for Windows users!
The game is beautiful and I'm sure it works fine on Linux, but with a simple download from the Quake3 website, you get a fully functional WINDOWS version! In what looks like an attempt to boost sales, they included instructions for doing this in the package, so this is an officially endorsed alteration to the program.
Don't waste big bucks on the Windows version. Buy this version and apply the patch! It worked flawlessly for me on WindowsXP.

- Best Performance of linux Game I've seen...
Quake 3 runs GREAT on my Linux system. That's not saying all that much, I suppose, until you realize that my Linux machine has a 3dfx Banshee as its video card, yet I can run at 1280x1024 without a single stutter or hickup.

On a technical merrit, this game gets a "5."

On a gameplay merrit, this game gets a "3." That is, I really enjoy plots... feeling like I'm playing a key role in some momentous event. Half-Life... System Shock (1&2)... Deux Ex... all great examples of this. It's fun, but it's not "absorbing."

So, I give the game a "4."

The main thing to take away from this is that the Quake3 engine works GREAT in Linux. I recently installed the Linux binaries of Return to Castle Wolfenstein onto this machine. It also uses the Quake3 engine. Wolfenstein, so installed, is beautiful, and it DOES have a plot.

ID Software, who developed the binaries for this port and who developed the Quake-series engines, have singlehandedly proven that Linux is a great gaming platform, yet again. The Quake3 engine is being used everywhere these days, and there's no fundamental reason that ANY of them can't be easily ported over to Linux.

Well, that's not entirely true. It's true that there's no TECHNICAL reason that we can't have those games. And it's true that there's no MARKET reason that we can't have those games (minimal effort to create the port using all the same content, then a secondary distribution channel).

However, there is ONE reason... the illegal marketing practices of Microsoft. Will this play out like all the other "Competition with Microsoft" activities of the past few years? Stay tuned...

- QUAKE 3 ARENA.............hmmmm...........do I like it?
Quake three arena is a great game with a new set of 3d-graphics quality, but the game gets boring after a while.Actually the game gets boring really quickly, but i still like it.I like the
models, the weapons,the maps, the storyline, but once your in the game it gets boring real quick.I RECOMMEND a SHINY New pentium 2, 350 for maxium performance, and 600mb of harddrive space for maxium installation of performance.I recommend a 32mb3d video card.It also has to be opengl 100% compatible.A major powerful a3d sound card.128pcisdram at 100mhrz for map performance.and directx7.But, if you don't care about performance and just wan't to play the game, your requirments:pentium 2:233mhrz, 16mb opengl compatible 3d video card, highquality sound card,45megs of harddrive space for miminum installation,directx6, and 64spcisdram.But, if your a extreme hardcore gamer and wan't quake3arena to work absouloutly PERFECT, these are the requirements I reccomend:pentium3 500mhrz, geforce3 64ddr ram, 700mb of harddrive space, the latest majorist a3d sound card with latest drivers, maxium instllation, directx8.1, and 512pci800mhrz of rdram.take my advice.buy the game, enjoy it.your welcome.I reccomend it.
