The promotion encouraged donations to charities like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Trevor Project, and of course gave PC gamers a reason to save a couple dollars by installing and activating the game in the company’s launcher.ĭonations to eligible charities during the event topped $30,000, so now the company is making Quake II available for free during a 72-hour period (started at 12 PM ET on Wednesday, you do the math). Many liked the crisp graphics and focus on multiplayer. Quake III Arena has also been used extensively in professional electronic sports tournaments such as QuakeCon, Cyberathlete Professional League, DreamHack, and the Electronic Sports World Cup.Last weekend during its online QuakeCon event, Bethesda made the original game available for free via its launcher on PC. The game was highly praised by reviewers who, for the most part, described the gameplay as fun and engaging.
Notable features of Quake III Arena include the minimalist design, lacking rarely used items and features, the extensive customizability of player settings such as field of view, texture detail and enemy model, and advanced movement features such as strafe-jumping and rocket-jumping. It features music composed by Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly founder Bill Leeb. The single-player mode is played against computer-controlled bots. It is the third game in the Quake series it differs from previous games by excluding a story-based single-player mode and highly focusing on multiplayer gameplay. Quake III Arena is a 1999 multiplayer-focused first-person shooter developed by id Software. QuakeCon has ended, funds have been raised for charity and Bethesda is keeping its promise – After Quake and Quake 2, Quake 3 Arena is now also free in Bethesda Launcher for 3 days.
