SX - we had some great level designers in our Quake community. I still keep up with the new maps that are put out at Tigger's site. OSP was a pretty good group. They did a lot for the community.


Swash - The Quake series from id software has four installments. Quake 1, 2, and 4 had 'story' lines in the game play, but Quake 3 was built specifically for Arena style play and more specifically for online play against others.

Rather than a story line, Quake 3 had a series of Tiers each comprised of seperate arenas with harder and harder NPC's that you had to defeat. The player with the most kills (score) at the end of the time limit was the winner of that Arena.

If you are a strictly RPG gamer, the fast pace and kill or be killed aspect of an FPS would probably not interest you.

id has some good stuff.
