I grew up playing this game with my dad -- it was one of the many ways we bonded together. We had a father/daughter clan called {DTA} which stood for "Death to All". We even owned our own Instagib server. I remember those days when we would go through footage looking to see who was cheating on our server. Countless of hours rocket jumping and railgunning, having fun and building a community... Such fun times. Although he passed away a couple years ago, I will forever cherish these memories with him and will always remember what fun times we had. Thanks to id Software for making such a wonderful game.

Everyone who got their fps skill from Quake may deserve a senior discount, but they also deserve credit for being cut from a pretty rough cloth. 10/10 integral game

This is a game that I think has aged like fine wine after all this time; A bunch of guns, a bunch of powerups, and a bunch of fun. i know theres wonderful folks like New Blood Interactive doing it already but why can't we all go back to something like this instead of sticking to the AI-generated microtransaction/P2W-filled "realistic tactical battle royale shooter" slop STILL being pushed by big game tech nowadays?

This game along with CS 1.6 were among the absolute classics that defined multiplayer shooters from the late 90s to early 2000s. No "heroes", no abilities, no "ults", no microtransactions, no battle passes. Just pick a character, grab a weapon, and it's all pure skill from there.
