Quake III was released back in 1999 and it quickly became the top played online multi-player action game. Now, around 10 years later, it is still doing pretty well and even I have it on my computer. The game was developed by the big America-based company – ID Software, the company that later revolutionized the first-person market by releasing the Doom III game from the Doom franchise.
There are different online multi-player game modes
in Q3 Arena, including Duels, Capture the Flag,
Rocket Arena, Frag for All, Team Death Match and Clan Arena. At first, the Frag for All (or Free for All) game play mode was the most popular one, but about one year later (in 2000), people started focusing on team game play in the Team Death Match mode.
When the time Quake 3 Arena was at it’s peak (in 2001-2002), the Team Death Match mode was becoming even more popular and several tournaments have been run. That led to the need of clans being created and endless hours for those clan players to improve their team play skills. As the Internet connection broadened out, the players increased too and the competition became harder and harder to beat.
While the popularity of Quake III Arena is still good, it has declined through the years. Most of the tournaments and leagues are history now.
Today, the most popular game play mode in Quake III Arena is Capture the Flag.
