There was also console only games which used ID Tech 3 such as James Bond games like Everything or Nothing and Agent Under Fire, and I think maybe also From Russia With Love since it seemed very similar to EON.
How I wish they were ported to PC to keep them alive, could probably get the map editors to work with them too, custom Co-Op maps for EON would be awesome since that game already has a Co-Op mode.
I am very happy to see that Jackhammer is still going :D
Keep up the great work :)
One of the GREATEST engines ever composed...!
Ummmmm Quake II Arena? Isn't it Quake III Arena?
Can you download this game engine ?
Yes, as long as you have QUAKE 3, Quake II Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix.
I'm not sure if they have released the source code without having to buy one of those games. I'm not sure.
Great, I can make Free to Play game
WHERE IS McGee Alice ???
"...id Tech 3 was the engine used to create games such as Quake II Arena..."
We have a TYPO here! :D
But i'd love to see Quake II Arena though ;)
GladiatorBot for Quake2's a pretty accurate approximation considering they're directly related
