PC users will just need to download a patch and play on special servers that are running with the Dreamcast version's maps. And despite some initial concern from developer Raster Productions that it couldn't be done, Qlll Arena will support deathmatching between owners of the DC and PC version. Qlll Arena is meant to be played over the Internet, against 15 human opponents. But damnit, man-this is one of the first full-blown network games optimized for SegaNet (which also launches in September). We promise we won't point and laugh at you (although we can't make the same guarantee for Hsu and Chan). Oh, you can play Quake III Arena with three buddies on one TV in split-screen mode. Of course, those same ancient beings that brought you to the arena also resurrect you after each death to prolong their amusement. Essentially a one-on-one deathmatch, you win by collecting frags, which are earned after killing your opponent. The game itself revolves around moving throughout a level, bearing any number of nasty weapons, while collecting the firepower, ammunition, items, and armor necessary to deal death to your opponent. Playing the part of a gladiator in this arena, it is your goal to crush, maim, and kill your way to the top of the list, no matter the cost. This game has no end, it has no winner, it only has combat. Ancient gods and terrible powers have created the Arena, a spectacle of warfare and bloodshed. Player will finally climb the ranks just to face and vanquish the last arena lord at final tier, to release him free from the eternity he shackled within'.Įnter the Arena. Arena Lords are particularly dangerous foes who have distinguishing traits, aggression and tastes. Climbing up their hierarchy will pit the player against the arena lords of certain tiers by order.

The Gladiators who populate the arena eternal are not happy to be here to begin with. In addition, a seventh map, Q3TOURNEY7: Almost Lost, was set to appear in the base game, but was released as a free addon later on: Out of the 30 maps, 26 came with the base game, with 4 more added through updates, while out of the 5 CTF maps, 4 came with the base game and one more was added through an update.
