 Quake III Arena - ESCMag Review
Quake III: Arena helps you by letting you bind your keys to any button you wish (like most First Person Shooters), but there is not an option to load multiple configuration files for each player.
For the most part Quake III: Arena is better than most of the first person shooters we have seen, but in one area the game lacks the innovation that a title of this magnitude should possess.
Quake III does manage to do one thing above and beyond that of the other developers and that is to create amazing player models.

So when id revealed that the next game in the series, Quake III Arena, would be specifically designed as a multiplayer game, fans weren't quite sure what to think.
