Q3A, on the other hand, boasts unrelenting non-stop action that really gets the adrenaline pumping especially on maps with plenty of bounce and acceleration pads that will have players leaping and flying all about in a frenetic haze. UT is far from boring in itself, but with deadly long-range weapons like the sniper rifle and the remote-controllable Redeemer missile, that encourages 'camping,' coupled with limited use anti-gravity boots, the action in UT is in some ways just more restrained. Commercial companies will probably be more inclined to develop add-on packs for Q3A as well due to the larger user base.īy making design decisions like implementing kinetic bounce and acceleration pads rather then stilted elevators to quicken the overall pace, Q3A is simply more a intense and thrilling experience then UT.

Not only may Q3A sprout longer legs then its competitor, we might also see more innovations along the lines of Team Fortress (an original mod for Quake) down the road. Unreal Tournament ( UT) may currently sport more variety in weapons, levels, and modes of play out of the box, but with the sizable Quake community continually pouring their efforts into Q3A, that standing may soon prove otherwise. And while the Unreal series have made quite a name for themselves and developed a strong following, Quake III Arena ( Q3A) has already proven to be everything that its long-time fans have hoped for and is sure to receive their continued support with an inevitable deluge of user created mods and add-on levels. The reality is that id loyalists have been churning out mods (modifications) and add-on levels since the early days of Doom to the latter day Quake games. Keep in mind that this article is by no means a proclamation of the superiority of one game over the other.ĥ Reasons Why Quake III Arena is Better than Unreal Tournament So as an addendum, we offer what we feel are the standout reasons for our scores in our reviews and also give our users a sense of where we stand on the genre itself.

Given the constraints of our review format we couldn't go into much detail comparing the two games every Deathmatch fan is talking about.
