Both Quake3e and ioquake3 are engines, but not the game. To play, you still need pak0.pk3 file which is not free. It is included if you buy the game. Bethesda [1], GOG [2], Steam [3].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bethesda.net&#x2F;ru&#x2F;store&#x2F;product&#x2F;QU3CSTPCBG01" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bethesda.net&#x2F;ru&#x2F;store&#x2F;product&#x2F;QU3CSTPCBG01</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gog.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;quake_iii_gold" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gog.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;quake_iii_gold</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;2200&#x2F;Quake_III_Arena" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;2200&#x2F;Quake_III_Arena</a>

If you like Quake-likes, let me recommend Xonotic. It&#x27;s a free and open source game based on a heavily modified Darkplaces engine.<p>It&#x27;s a friendly community, with a wide age distribution (lots of old quakers like myself). If you don&#x27;t like death match, clan arena or CTF, login to a CTS defrag game (time races for movement training).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xonotic.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xonotic.org</a>

I still play the Movie Battles mod for Jedi Knight 3, which uses this engine. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.moviebattles.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.moviebattles.org</a>

A different angle: there&#x27;s quakejs which you can use in your browser - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quakejs.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quakejs.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve spent so many hours reading Quake source code, trying to figure out how it all works. Such a marvelous game.

I loved Q3, and Instaunlagged ctf was my favorite mod and gametype. Here&#x27;s an old demo from the day: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZGWcoYM6o7o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZGWcoYM6o7o</a><p>Lately, I&#x27;ve been learning modeling and ue4. My first map attempt is a remake of old q3ctf1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qWJJu3Jov7Y" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qWJJu3Jov7Y</a>

Quake-derived game died off because people use various kind of hacks (particularly aimbotting) and no kind of management for that was ever implemented.<p>So, getting good at any of those game means that sooner or later you&#x27;ll start actually getting very very angry at people cheating.

FYI you need Quake 3 Arena installed to play.<p>I bought the game when it was new, but I have no idea where that copy&#x2F;cdkey is anymore.<p><i>sad trombone</i>

I wonder whether it still uses fast inverse square root algorithm.

In what engine version does the DeFRaG CGazHUD movement deceleration bar display properly? The graphic showing acceleration seems to work fine but not deceleration, and I&#x27;m needing a bit of help getting the muscle memory correct.

Cool, but Im not up2date anymore since a decade. Could someone give me a hint where still to get a few nice maps and mods for a retro session with Friends?

I wonder if id Software will continue the tradition of open sourcing stuff under Bethesda.

Nice! As a massive quake fan, I can&#x27;t wait to fool around with this. Thanks.

Does id still release it&#x27;s older engines as open source?
