BarrysWorld Guides - Quake3:Arena


Welcome to S.A.S's Guide to Quake3:Arena

This guide is dedicated to helping fellow gamers with Quake3:Arena. The information contained here is only the foundations. I will build upon them as Quake3 grows to ensure everything a player could ever need will be here, or just a click away :)

New content will be added weekly to ensure this is one of THE places for Quake3 players to find what they need fast.

...Taken from a BW Mega game (32 player FFA game), this demo (ftp://ftp.barrysworld.com/quake3/demos/bwmega.zip) can be used to test how your graphics card will be able to handle the toughest of online games. If you can get a decent fps, your card has been thoroughly tweaked.
