Note, that if you've asked me for permission but don't see your site on the

everyone asks me to use this guide on their site. So as long as you've
asked me, yes, you can put it up on your site. The sites above are the
ones that don't have to ask to use them.

Quake III:Arena is copyright id 1999/2000. Please do not leech any

NOT take anything at all from this guide. Don't edit, don't do anything to

print it out, but only for personal use, no selling this! Summing it
up, do anything for your own personal benefit (apart from reading it)
without asking me, AND YOU'LL BURN IN HELL!!!!!

My ICQ# is 34601221

account

Be warned that I'm only on the net twice a week, don't expect replies
from me which are ten minutes after you've sent the mail. Here's some
guidelines about sending me mail:

1.Make sure you put the title of the game you're asking about in the
subject. I've made a fair few FAQs, and it's a bit hard to work
things out sometimes.

2.If it's an FAQ, make sure that it's not already in the guide!!! If
it is, I'll do my best to ignore it.

If it's not in there, make sure that the details you provide
are, well, DETAILED, and not sketchy. Examples are "Hi need to know
how to get past this part, i'm in a room and stuck", I need to know
where you are, etc.

3.Ask nicely. So far, most people have, but if your mail goes along
the lines of "Hi, need code for B2, reply within the next hour
otherwise I'll bomb you" will not get you anywhere.

That's it. Sorry for being a pain, but it had to be said.

1)Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Untold centuries ago the Vadrigar, the mysterious Arena Masters,
constructed the Arena Eternal for their own infernal amusement.
Virtually nothing is known of these beings except that they savor
the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have stocked the
arena with the greatest warriors of all time. And you have just
joined their ranks.

As a gladiator in the Arena Eternal, you must not only survive, but
also win each and every battle against ever more powerful opponents.
Don't worry overly much about getting "fragged." The Vadrigar won't
be cheated of their favorite sport by a little thing like death.
Those who fall are instantly restored to life and immediately thrust
back into the battle, perhaps a little wiser for their misfortunes.

When the dust, blood, and gibs settle, all warriors will have earned
the right to battle again, providing further entertainment for the
Vadrigar. But only the warrior who has fragged the most foes will
be lauded as the winner. The victorious gladiator advances to a more
challenging array of arenas, until, at last, he or she faces Xaero,
Lord of the Final Arena."

Quake III:Arena, is by far one of the most dazzling FPS experiences
I've ever had (Half-Life and possibly Thief/System Shock 2 beating
it. To all of you UT fans, I'm sorry, but Q3 is definetly, and by
FAR, the better game. Enough chat. There's only one thing that you'll
need to remember, and it's stated in the game manual:

2)Weapons and Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapons

There are about nine weapons or so, and each has it's own strengths
and weaknesses. Remember, even though it's supposed to be an all
out frag fest, there's a bit of strategy involved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Gauntlet
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :Doesn't Apply
Max. Ammo :Doesn't Apply
Range :Point Blank
Speed :Doesn't Apply
Direct Hit Damage :50
Rate Of Fire :Doesn't Apply

The basic weapon. Much like the chainsaw, axe, crowbar, etc. Sure,
you'll probably only use it as a last resort, but it's quite
effective. No, really. When in close quarters, you can mow through
a pack of bots quite easily, then turn around and get them again.
If you corner your opponent, you can then kill him/her quite easily.
My strategy is to do that, to round up your opponent and then kill
them. Oh, if you have the Quad Damage, this is one of the weapons
which is effective and won't kill you at close range.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Machinegun
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Ammo :100
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Instant Shot
Direct Hit Damage :7, 5 when in teamplay
Rate Of Fire :Very High

The Machinegun. Basically, it's useless. You'll mow through the ammo
so easily that it's not funny. Damage is low, but it's fast, and the
only things I can think of to do with it are to: use it to distract
your pursuer/s, clean up or help with a battle between two other bots,
or use it wildly when you've got Quad Damage. Even though it won't
hurt much, it'll still hurt a bit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shotgun
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting Ammo :10
Max. Ammo :200
Range :Anywhere
Speed :Instant Shot
Direct Hit Damage :Depends on how close you are, up close is 100+,
across the room it can be 10.
Rate Of Fire :Slow

OH YEAH! I love this weapon. It is the best weapon to use at point
blank - you can't argue with 100+ damage - and is pretty good when
you're firing into a pack of bots. For some reason, the patterns of
the shells aren't fixed, meaning they can fly out in any way, making
it not such a good weapon from long range.
