Man I had no idea this was coming out. I loves me some quake. Tis going to be a jolly xmas methinks.
Always more of an Unreal Tournament chap myself, but this is still pretty good. Shame that it will be popular for the first two weeks then die like every other multiplayer not called Call Of Duty.

I won't let it die. Ever. I will offer sexual favours to the owners of the servers to ensure they never close. When I die and my body is committed to the ground I will leave EXPLICIT instructions to my children to ensure someone is playing at all times.

I always thought I was bad at Quake but I eventually realized it's not my fault. I'm just not as evolved as others in our species to be able to see, process and react to what is going on at the speed required. So thank you very much mom and dad!! -___-
@Pew UT still, even today, has a sizable playerbase. Granted, every title after the original UT sucked and died off quickly and as a series overall Quake is better than Unreal, but in UT vs Arena specifically, UT had the bigger professional competitive scene back in the day and quite rightly.
Though let's just forget the PS2 versions of either ever existed.

@Ace Fibble:
Agreed. Q3A played second fiddle to UT when only comparing the two games. After the original UT, there was an immediate and catastrophic drop in awesomeness.
Someone needs to bring back the original Quake. It's arguably the genesis of competitive multiplayer as we know it. Even over a decade later the weapon archetypes from Doom/Quake are largely the same in today's shooters.

I've been playing THIS damn game for the past two years at Quakecon and it's About damn time it comes to XBL. Last year at QC they said it was coming out in March 2010 but that didn't happen. Bottom line, the multiplayer is fantastic, didn't even hear about a campaign until today but still an instant buy.
Rocketjumps on gamepad finally!
Aimbot and resizing hitboxes allowed.
Quake3 is one of the few games that should stay on PC.
But wait... campaign???

This looks really and would be something people would be really into...$15.
In all seriousness, this looks like something I would play with among other friends seeing how Monday Night Combat's in the toilet.

I've never played a Quake game in my life. Damn console-only childhood (yes I know that Quake was on N64 and a few other systems). I'll probably give this a spin and see what the fuss is about.

To be honest, Quake 3 Arena isnt really representative of Quake 1 and 2. (Quake 1 being the best in the series)

Quake 3 is probably the purest arena FPS out there. UT had way more options, but Q3 was distilled down to its pure core of greatness.
UT was extremely fun to dick around with, with all those mutators and mods and so on. But when it comes to a thing as simple as a deathmatch, Q3 is pretty much unparalleled.
Still to this day.

It's gonna be 1200 MSP. Not that iD couldn't charge that amount for this, but I just know they will. Quake 3 was an amazing game, but Unreal Tournament beat it in nearly every category. I'd rather see that, but I'll gladly take this.
Might be OK, Quake4 worked pretty well on the 360. The problem is nobody on the 360 really plays these arena games; Q4, UT3 and the excellent CellFactor are pretty dead.
Quake 3 is coming to xbox live with all of its glorious auto aim...lulz

Quake 3 is nothing more but a deathmatch game. And it did it in the most pure, perfect way, no perks, no killstreaks, no further BS. This is the game that perfectly says; "You died because you suck, period."
oh yes, I am one of those folks who still got it installed on his PC up 'till this day(together with the first Unreal Tournament and Counter-Strike:Condition Zero), it's so amazing that you can go online and see there are still hundreds of servers you can join in on those games.
Also, for the PC elitist, bunch of douche. This is a good opportunity to rekindle the once awesome Q3 to the mainstream. Let them, "see the light", that THIS is THE deathmatch at its greatest of core.
very preachy of me, i know

Fast paced shooter on a slow, inaccurate gamepad is not a recipe for success at all. Still, it's nice that it's actually being ported across.
