Product Description

Product description

The Arena Eternal was constructed by the mysterious Vadrigar, the enigmatic Arena Masters, far in the past. The arena was designed to satisfy the Vadrigar's insatiable hunger for carnage and battle. Now you, as a gladiator, must enter battle against the most powerful warriors in history who populate the Arena Eternal. More than 30 types of opponents, each with but a single thought -- survival -- awaits your appearance!

The first official expansion pack for Quake 3, Team Arena adds not only firepower but gameplay as well. Harvester, one of the expansion's new play modes, has players venturing into the center of the arena for objects that they must then bring to the opposing team's base (think football with guns). Another new play mode is Obelisk, where players try to destroy the enemy's obelisk. The mission isn't as easy as it sounds; obelisks slowly regenerate when not being attacked.

There's also the kind of stuff you'd expect from an expansion pack. The chain gun and nail gun are both back (you gotta love the classics), as well as a proximity grenade launcher. There are several new capture-the-flag and deathmatch maps, and now teams can design their own skins and logos as well as choose from different character heads.

1.0 out of 5 stars Go Play Q2 Capture The Flag instead of buying Q3.
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2000
Quake3 has been a major disappointment with the existing gaming community. It lacks specific elements from Q2 that has made the series popular. While Quake3 does have better protocol which allows for a 'smoother' online gaming experience, it fails in almost all other categories.
One of the great things that makes Q2 so much fun is its online, multiplayer capabilities. More specifically, the Capture the Flag scenario where you get to join a team and play Capture the Flag. This 'mod' as its called is extremely fun and is what made Q2 so incredibly popular. There are TONS of mods for Q2 but CTF remains the most popular one.
Unfortunately for Q3 it came with no Capture the Flag out of the box, which is an obvious miss for ID software. One thing that makes developers good and their games great is listening to the gaming community and unfortunately they missed the boat on this one.
Quake3 looks cartoonish, lacks the 'grapple' [a device where you can 'throw' the grapple on almost anything and pull yourself somewhere] and is basically a bunch of people running around and using 'jump' pads. What a cheap excuse for a sequel.
Again, if there IS anything decent about Q3 is its better internet protocol, which in turn is more likely the result of their new 'game engine'. While the game may be smoother for most people that play online games, Q3 is still not even close to exciting and Quake2 is still king of the heap.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quake 3 - to little, too late ?
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2001
This expansion pack is how Quake 3 should have been - and if you'd have asked me a year ago how good it wasm I'd have probably given a better review.
However, it's surprising how "retro" it felt after playing Star Trek : Elite Force (also based on the Q3 engine) for the past couple of months.
Q3TA adds team mods to bring it into line with the latest on-line games. Some of the mods are a bit unusual, which adds a bit of variety to a stale formula. The game seems to perform a lot better than the original, but Q3 gamers will be on very familiar territory. There are some new weapons, but no "alternate" attacks as in STV:EF, which made it feel tactically a bit more restrictive.
The pace of the game is very fast, which some people may enjoy, but for me, it was a bit TOO fast. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to repeatedly "suddenly" die, with no warning, until I started playing TA. The weaponry seems a bit unbalanced too - repeated deaths in old-Quake stylee, and proximity bombs which blow you to smithereens as you unsuspectingly race around corners.
The speed of the game meant that I was at a real disadvantage as a 56K modem user - since the game seems focussed on old-style fragging rather than tactics, LPB's have a real advantage, and this can mean a frustrating series of "oops ! too slow !" deaths.
In summary, if you like a fast-paced game, with a high degree of difficulty and a scoreline that can change radically in the space of a minute, Q3TA might be for you, provided you have a Ninja Internet connection. However, for me it feels dated, unbalanced and no fun compared to STV:EF.

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2002
Well now being a death match player since the days of Doom and Heretic, I do know how to look for an enjoyable game. Though I do miss the whole Mission setting that Quake 3 has lost in comparision to its predecessors as I mentioned in my review of it.
Now to add to the carnage of the original release there is the Team Arena Mission Pack. Packed full of levels to play Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, or the new Obelisk and Harvester modes. The additions to your arsenal are also handy, some of which you may recognize from old encounters.
Overall the game play is good, though I'm a little annoyed you can't seem to use all of the old skins from the original. I'm assuming you have to move them over to a different directory or something. The targeting is fairly smooth, though I don't find it as easy to control as Unreal Tournament. Probably just a preference of mine. I find it's easier to be more accurate in UT then in Q3TA.
So enjoy the vast amount of new levels. Have friends over so you can whoop them. Then again, I actually prefer to team up with friends to whoop somebody else. You never know who'll win the next match. Game On!

I didn't think they made these older games any more It looks brand new. I Installed using Wine on Ubuntu 11.10 and it plays great! Must have Quake3 installed first.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too little, too late
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2001
This *is* just a piecemeal offering from Id for a bolt on other companies have for free, or as a patch. The multiplayer is fast(otherwises known as errors in their skeletal system), and the weapons now have alternate fire modes, which other game companies have had for years using the same engine... odd, that. Correct, this is not a single player game as Id never could get the AI down quite right. But, who plays single player deathmatch? Okay, if you're burned out from Counter Strike and all the other Half Life bolt-ons, get this. Otherwise, go download Counter Strike and have at it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quake 3: Team Arena is just a mediocre offering from ID
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2001
The graphics are great, the gameplay is insanely fast just like Quake 3. But ID doesn't know how to make team play games, and their attempt failed miserably. The new mods are nothing more than team deathmatch with an objective other than kill as much as possible tossed in. Gotta wonder why waste [$] when there are better alternatives available. Mabey in an attempt to be like the rest, Q3:TA's character models look as boring as those in the original UT, either that or mabey it was just ID's stupidity. And yes, it was foolish that ID didn't make Q3:TA win2000 compatible, as win2000 is the most advanced and most reliable OS in the world today, if anything, Jhon Carmack is one of the biggest supporters of Microsoft.
