Quake 3 Arena Team Mission Pack Review

One of the really cool things is the Team Power-Ups; Ammo regen, Scout, Doubler, and Guard. All of these enhance your player allowing you to play a different role or use a different strategy eg when you use Guard, your player is stronger and you can tie up two or three opponents before getting killed while your teammates capture the flag or whatever game. Or in games with a lot of people. weapons can be hard to come by, so Ammo Regen is preferred. My biggest problem is getting connected. Half the servers don't work, they default into a Quake 3 game or create an error. So I am frequently downloading new servers trying to find a place to play with more than one or two others.

The first official expansion pack for Quake 3, Team Arena adds not only firepower but gameplay as well. Harvester, one of the expansion's new play modes, has players venturing into the center of the arena for objects that they must then bring to the opposing team's base (think football with guns). Another new play mode is Obelisk, where players try to destroy the enemy's obelisk. The mission isn't as easy as it sounds; obelisks slowly regenerate when not being attacked.
There's also the kind of stuff you'd expect from an expansion pack. The chain gun and nail gun are both back (you gotta love the classics), as well as a proximity grenade launcher. There are several new capture-the-flag and deathmatch maps, and now teams can design their own skins and logos as well as choose from different character heads.

Warpath Review

This game could have been good. The graphics are good (not great, but they're up to date), and the menu and interface are well designed and it's an inexpensive game. Thats where the good things end.
The AI in this game is ridiculously easy. I'm an experienced FPS player, and I beat the entire game in one brief sitting on medium difficulty. The gameplay is identical to Quake (as the game is based on the Quake engine), and each "battle" is either a Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, or Assault match, and they get repetitive very quickly. The weapon upgrade system is also flawed as you need to reapply the weapon upgrades each time you respawn, which takes time, and in a speed-deathmatch style game usually gets you killed.
The plot in this game feels like it was thrown in as an afterthought. The intro and ending videos are merely in-game screen capture videos that last a couple of seconds each, and the plot is explained through blocks of text. Seriously, who wants to read what's going on in a video game? The plot itself has no development at all, and merely consists of an intro paragraph describing the planet and the war, and a conclusion paragraph after you beat the "boss".
Speaking of the boss, he actually beat ME when I played the game, but thanks to a huge unresolved bug, the game thought I beat the boss and let me see the 4 second long ending cinematic and ending paragraph. The boss level is the only difficult match in the entire game.
A couple of other things that I didn't like about the game: you can't skip the intro cinematics (the studio logo, etc) when you start the game. It's only 15 seconds long, but still annoying. Also, when I checked the multiplayer I found 6 servers with 12 people total playing. That's just sad.PRO:
Decent graphics
Cheap
No serial number to enter in during installation
CON:
AI is WAY too easy
Very repetitive and at times buggy gameplay
Half baked plot
Multiplayer is deserted
It's a Quake clone
OVERALL: If you want to play a fast paced deathmatch shooter, get Quake or Unreal or Painkiller. You aren't missing anything if you skip Warpath. It's an unoriginal shooter that deserves its place in the bargain bin.
