Quake 3 Hints

Use the Right Bait

If a piece of weaponry is in the right spot, not too brightly lit
and around a corner for instance, don't pick it up just yet. It's
more fun to hunker down behind it and blast the next bozo who
comes tearing along to grab it. The combination of the enticingly
spinning gun and your opponent's greed will help mask the fact
that you're there until it's too late. If the enemy is far enough
away, you can reward his efforts with a nice rocket surprise.

Happy Campers

Test Map 1 has many dark areas for sniping at your buddies. It's
difficult to be seen when you're crouching in one, and by the time
your opponents spot you, they're toast. If you're tired of running
around, try hanging out in one for a while and waiting for the
action to come to you.

Best Bet for Dying Shots

When you're low on health points, the Rail Gun is your best bet. A
direct hit will zap about 80 of your opponent's health points
without causing you any splash damage.

Laugh at those Silly Rockets

If you're being threatened head-on by someone carrying a Rocket
Launcher, don't panic. Quake III's Rocket Launcher is even slower
than Quake II's. Simply strafe from side to side as you pick him
apart with your Machine Gun.
