  • 0:21 that always got my blood rushing when the music started getting intense.

  • 0:42 

  • is it bad that i only played a lot of games that used the quake 3 engine?

  • @SporeFan01234

    quake III is the coolest engine until today.

    there may be engines that meets more features

    but these aren't that cool.

  • ani625 what about unreal tournament?

  • what is name sound :042 1:28

  • @Czosef Front line assembly. Song is called 'intro'

  • CoD didnt even manage to be 1/10 of a fps game quake 3 is.

    Realism is for pussys

  • Give "like" if you still play this in 2011

  • For all those years I was thinking, that Sarge was the Q2 main character...I recently read on the Quake wiki that Bitterman was the real Q2 hero

  • Sarge is Chuck Norris's Father

  • @Theaverable better is doom or patriot

  • @MegaJustin32 WTF??? ID engine was and still IS the best engine of FPS.. noob

  • This is not a Video game, this is A DRUG.

  • i love how sarge just jumps into the crowd of enemies HE DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!

  • 0:42 is that finger or cigar?

  • @tonny8881 Its cigar, sarge uses it all the time.

  • @Speclst ah

  • hey add me on my channel or facbook link is on me page and ill see you in the arean quake 3 - 4 or live were eva you want lets goo whats taking you man go for it

  • Try original Quake 3 demo... People still play it!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Here is more than 80 active servers...

  • First fps i fell in love with. Gaylo and cod have nothing on this.

  • The first time I watched this, it brought tears to my eyes. It was love at first sight. It took me about a year to learn strafe jumping. Today, I've got 3 kids and I still quake.

  • q3a just FOR EVER

  • 0:11 chuck norrise's penis

  • yep sarge was cheating!

  • GREAT MG AND GAME

  • QUAKE LIVE SUCKS CLACCIS Q3 ROCKS

  • They should remake this game with awesome graphics, and have no storyline, just a shit-load of stages and maps and achievements, then it will surpass the shittiest and most overrated game of all time: cod

  • I love this game! Old times!! :D

  • funny to see that basically the graphic at the intro is Unreal Engine 3.

  • back then when I had Quake 3 and UT in my PC.

    good times indeed

  • Hey Colonel Quaritch, what are you doing there?

  • GO SARGE!!

  • I used to play this all the time on my shitty Windows XP from 2000... Until I lost it. I used to play This, Thief, and Vengeance (Does ANYONE remember Vengeance?) All the time. I also remember having a guitar game where you would have to use your computer keyboard to play the guitar. In the guitar game you were a volunteer for a space ship that could go through dimensions. Does anyone remember what game that was?

  • When this game came out my computer at the time (Celeron 300a OC'd to 450mhz) wouldn't even play this intro. But it would play the game though! Best online game ever created. Halo was and is n00b xbox shit.

  • So epic!

  • Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, Halo CE, Halo 2.

    These will always be the best of the best.

  • @chaoticbluberry You DON'T compare Q3A and UT with halo....

  • @kologer0s thumbs up i totally agree! Q3 and UT were good but when halo (2) came out it was just pure EPIC!

  • The ultimate all time MMOFPS! The legend lives on!

  • Sarge is badass end of discussion.

  • A better fps was never made.

  • This game deserved a Movie ! ! !

  • Less game modes, less backstory, and worse sound effects than Unreal Tournament.

    But it had a lot of characters which were really awesome and detailed, a Doom-like atmosphere, and over 9000 times more testosterone.

    Anyone remember in team modes bots would get bored if you assign them to one thing for too long?

  • i like orbb. he's a total bro.

  • I love this intro!! I loved this game!!!

  • It just occurred to me how badly sarge sucks at aiming..

  • Xaero FTW!

  • This was Quake without Raven Software or Splash Damage involved.

    This was raw badass shoot-everything-that-moves-ac­tion by id Software.

    Hopefully the next Quake will be more like that.

  • @bulletk1ss you can buy it online on steam or get the demo

  • The only true fps game ever made. Period.

  • while Unreal is here, Quake will always be only the 2nd best :D

  • im still waiting for its release on xbox live :/

  • @gatoman46 quake 3 arena is being released on xbox live arcade!?

  • THIS WAS THE BEST!!! QUAKE

    only i lost it and its no longer more in stores X(

    this game was so funny and also kinda creepy

  • The REAL man's fps

  • SEEEE QUAKE 3! DE LUJOO YA QUERO JUGARLO XDDD

  • Yea there is quake live which is on the internet. Is just like quake 3 but hase new game types and better graphics. also 2 new models.

  • Sarge is the best!

  • How come the graphics is better in the introduction (I mean at the start where sarge is battling the stroggos.

  • what weapon did he uses at 0:06 ?

  • @godobladla

    Chaingun :(. Sadly not in Quake III Arena, bugger.

  • @LivingdeadMetal its not a chain gun as it says "fuel cell" and there are people who made doom and said that the plasma gun was a mini gun like, and there were rocket grunts in the first doom but they were cut.

  • @metaleater9

    whatever

  • @LivingdeadMetal they included it on Team Arena though!

  • what the hell did he do in 3:30 ???

  • @APLHAKILLER sry, 1:30

  • Love this game

  • The intro was fairly good, but for some reason the soldiers that Sarge was fighting had some rather weird looking gear on their backs.

    In my opinion, Sarge should have been fighting some strogg instead as to keep in relation to the quake series.

  • @ReconUnitZero

    He was!

  • ahh i remember this when i was nine there was a program in tv back in 1999 showed the review of this game , when i saw the intro, i lost my mind one of the best intros

  • This game is such a rushfest!

    Truly amazing gameplay!

    *Humiliation*

  • `~` Its missing  He,s out get,em attack `~`

  • BEST of ALL competitive shooters

  • BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!! * * * * * stars!

  • What the... why do you think it's called ARENA?

    And of course has the intro sth to do with the game - it shows some scenes, doesn't it?

    Well the beginning with Sarge is quite nice and simple.

  • much better than quake 4

  • 700 fps or nothing

  • @truckdrivingsong12

    OMG NO WAI!!

  • where do you think i could buy it now? i mean, its been almost 10 years since this game was made, is it still sold anywhere? other than garage sales and flea markets

  • @pokani365

    there's a new free online beta called Quake Live.

  • While not the same, you could play Quake Live.

  • what is different to quake live?

  • no gore

  • i love this game

  • have anyone an HD version of this video??

  • Brings back memories...

  • just wondering, i just got this game yesturday, can you play online?

  • yeah, its really fun

  • Sarge always kick ass!!

  • nice visual quality, but you see the one i uploaded has much more smoother visuals, but your sound is awesome!

  • i freaking love this game,too bad Sarge dropped his favourite ciggar before entering arena

  • I grew up with this game. Such a simple game, but with such amazing gameplay.

  • I dont care about fuckin Halos, quake 4 , doom 3,4 whatever the fuck game anybody could say, This masterpiece is AWESOME, hte best shooter experience ever...and dont miss understand me with a newbie on shooters, my first one was wolfenstein 3D in 1993, since then i've been a fan of Id...and this game takes the Top 1...period. Can you imagine what orbb with a quad damage will do in a scenario from any halo...i'd love to see that carnage...LOL

  • well said and i totally agree. The more modern games are great too, but nothing, NOTHING beats Quake3. This game was, is and always will be top notch.

  • Learn to spell.

  • lern not to care......this is the internet dude no one gives a fuck if u spell right or wrong

  • I do care that's why i said learn to spell. People do care it more easier for us to understand what you are saying? no?

  • the funny thing is that that your username tells me that you are 19 but still you complain about stuff like grammar like you are 14.........do you think everyone speak english in the world just be happy that not every one is typing in another language

  • i wasn't born in 1989 have you checked my profile. no like i said before it make it easier for us to understand. i wasn't trying to be funny.

    I said this because on you tube a lot of people use leet talk and other code talk. which confuses us and make it hard for us understand no? that's all i was trying to say.

  • i think you understand my comments well enough.......this isnt a scool you know

  • scool?

  • ughh ohh another one

  • I do. LEARN TO SPELL

  • actually no i prefer this game MUCH MUCH more adrenaline when you play it even online or LAN. Not saying it's better then UT just that i prefer it to UT. Plus its faster then UT as for gameplay thus i prefer it.

    On the other hand UT has got more variety larger franchise of games and a very good engine.

  • @garvald

    Well, Quake II was rated 'The Best Game Ever' while Quake 3 was rated 'Game of The Year'.

  • @garvald I'd say classic Action Quake 2 is still a better online game than this, but Quake 3 Arena was pretty badass.

  • nothing beats playing these old games on an CRT monitor! as well as new games of course!

    These new games lack something us in the older generation lacked!--that is properly vivid picture... I can't experience what I use to with all these old games because the lack of visual appeal from an "LCD"... BRING back CRT monitors! even the mid range to lower mid ranged CRT look better than LCD monitors when it comes to the actual picture!

    lol quake 3... SO many memories ruined if played on a LCD monitor!

  • CRT ruins your eyes, LCDs are here to stay; next gen LCDs display colours as they should be, its just a matter of prices dropping

  • Irrelevant! Put your refresh rate to 75hz+ and it is all fine...

  • im on a crt at 75hz refresh rate; its no good at all, it really matters, and 60 to 75hz refresh is also a huge difference

  • What type of monitor do you have?

    CRT's have some type of function that makes the screen look flickery to prevent blur or something. i always set that function to 0%.

    There is a difference between a cheap one, and a mid-range one.

    75 hz is suppose to be good, but for some people you might need 85 hz depending on the monitor.

    The end-day crt's had like 120hz at 1600x1200!

  • end-day? you mean like the apocalypse? are you from the future? sorry, i couldnt read most of what you wrote, see, im on a CRT monitor

  • agreed plus you can change the resolution without the picture quality going down the toilet

  • this intro is cooler than quake two's. But Quake four's the best intro.

    Why do people think quake II has good intro? Its just people speaking to each other. Would have been better if there was footage of what they are speaking about.

  • shoot!shoot!kill!kill!die!die!­die!

  • For this year..PERFECT

  • OMG HES BAD ASS

  • Sarge is such a fucking badass

  • WTF is that J. MC Cain ?

  • Only problem is almost every game out there with an "Intro Cinematic" doesn't portray any gameplay at all.

  • Well, the second part IS actual gameplay... (it is in third person, but it's in-game...). The first part is very far from the game itself, I admit, but is technically great for the time.

    Quake 3 is really a great game. I loved it!

  • If I remember correctly,this was the FIRST game I played on my PS2.

  • I have to admit that even after all these years, I still do not understand what happens to Sarge when he jumps on to all those opponents. Someone wrote that he teleports, but that just sounds strange, since I can't recall you could do any such thing in the game. Thoughts?

  • sarge was fragging the bad guys in q2 when the arena master of q3 saw his potential and teleported him over. Easy!

  • He teleports. It is the only link to the game. There is the teleport item inside the game, ad its only use is to escape from a dangerous situation (like in the intro). But there are not troup of soldiers in the game, I never understood that... BUT Q3A IS GREAT ANYWAY!!!

  • Sarge is u fighting the strogg in quake 1 and 2 and after q2 boss theres a big storgg army (low-tech at tihs time) but u get tleeported by another race who teleports beings from the whole univers to championship fight (not really dieng) for amusement off a new race who watches it, after beating Xaero(his the races leader/god) you get acces to be the leader now and futere ''contests'' Team arena is new championship and james is sarges son in the futere competitions

  • Are you sure that the enemies in Quake 1 are Stroggs? - In quake 2 I think the player is not Sarge: 1) during briefing you see a wireframe of your chracter: it seems more similar to Grunt in Q3A than Sarge - 2) at the very beginning of q2, turn back and look at your small ship... there is a name, and I think it is your callsign: "Bitterman" (another Q3 character name)

  • Yeah i was just throwing some ideas out lol, but maybe whatbi said whith a bit more twists and turns and it sounds right. I got many ideas on how it could be like, not hard to come up whith something, however only ID never gave an official explanation in the storyline.

    Maybe averythings just messed up and they're all different characthers undtill Q3a where they meet up, hell the vandrigas might have conquered the whole (or most) univers and use them for amusement, etc. however tihs is no

  • place for discuission just my opnions anyways. It might just be a confusing storyline or ID is stil hidding stuff.

  • Im going to stop this right now. doom 1 = old but good doom 2 = old but good quake 1 = old but good quake 2 = old but good quake 3 =old but obviously the best game in the FPS category. doom 3 = new, scary as fuck, not as good. quake 4 = new and sucks ass quake 4 only has less than 500 servers on the latest patch. sad. Prolly get thumbs down from fanboys, but its the truth. Half life is great, halo blows for pc and x-box. Single player was good for both games, ill say. Q3 FTW
  • due to the character limit, i could not expand my thoughts.

    Doom 3 and quake 4 both suck because the multiplayer is nothing. Its far less customizable, and half the things cannot even be changed, unlike quake 3 and other games, that gave you full control basically. I havent played q4 or d3 in a long time, the only example i can give right now is changing the zoom fov in quake 4. that REALLY annoyed me. If its there, let me change it. ya know? Quake 3 did a great job of that. new games suck

  • yeah i just played quake 4 some days ago and it lacks of good sound for example when shooting not like quake 3 wich sound is really good also i think that quake 4 was made almost identical as doom 3 they really suck, quake 3 its the best.

  • I'm sorry, but Quake 3 has the worst multiplayer of all of them.  Quake 2 > *

  • good my brother, good.

    I share ur opinion, especially with quake 3. First game i ever played and the one and only FPS !!!! Fuck Kamakazie27, FUCK halospartan92 and FUCK all quake 3 haters.

    Quake 3 FTW !

  • what's the name of the track??

  • its awesome how you can play as other characters in the id family.

  • whats the name of dis song??its fuckin awesome!!!

  • yeah! good question, whose song is that???

  • Quake is cult !!!

  • AWESOME BIG BEAT MUSIC

  • Simply the best game ever.

    (comment from a hardcore Quaker(szwe3t), what else?)

  • Man, I've spent so much freetime on every tier of Q3, it made so much fun and is one of the best 1stP shooters ever! GREAT!

  • man i have this and it is bad ass

  • best game I've ever played...

  • CAn any1 say the soundtrack for this intro? plz help me

  • the band is called sonic mayhem ... good times
