Here is Nrk, the newest addition to their Q3A library of models. More pre-source offerings can be found at polycount, PlanetQuake's own premier site for Quake3 Arena models and everything that comes with them (skins, paks, installation instructions, et al). This site is a Godsend for those of us who love to play as our favorite alien/action hero/etc., and can only get better as time progresses. There's already some killer work up there, so check 'em out right this very second.

Keeping in mind that there is no source code to be had, we can take a look at a few mod groups/authors that haven't let that fact hinder their ability to provide us with some seriously cool stuff. The first mod we will look at is RoboQuake, a few new skins and models to add some distinctiveness to yourself in DM. The same author of this mod also changed projectiles and blood, a great alternative for less violent/younger quakers. More about these 'visual mods' can be found at EcloSiS's Quake3 Pages. Modification teams all over have been waiting and planning, planning and waiting for the source code to really give their mods a kick in the pants with the new Q3A engine. First we'll look at a few of the mods that have taken matters in to their own hands and found ways to work in spite of this hindrance. mods are going to be great for this.Ĭurrently, we are awaiting the source release to Quake3 Arena so no mods are actually available, so we will take this week out to look at some current projects in development to usher in the new Modification Millenium.

As we take time to usher in the New Year, we will take a sneak peak into the coming modifications world of Quake3 Arena. This being the holidays and all, it can be assumed that a bit more than a few of us will find Q3A under the tree this holiday season and I know the first thing that came to mind (well, my mind) when I played it was WOW.
