Quake III Arena/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Dueling Games: With Unreal Tournament, which came out the same year.
  • Hey, It's That Sound: The game recycles several sounds from Quake II, namely:
    • The Quad Damage activation sound for the namesake Quad item.
    • The Invulnerability wearing off sound for every other temporal item's waring sound.
    • The Invulnerability activation sound for the Battle Suit.
    • The Grenade Launcher's sounds.
    • The BFG shoot sound (that one which it does after charging) for the BFG shot.
  • What Could Have Been: Early versions of III had a Chainsaw Goodsaw. It was replaced by the Gauntlet, though.
  • Mojang suggested that a game of Quake against Bethesda should be how they decided the Scrolls v The Elder Scrolls trademark dispute. Bethesda never responded, unfortunately.
