History YMMV / QuakeIIIArena

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: The so-called "Big Four" in ''Live'': Aerowalk, Asylum, [=BloodRun=] and [=Campgrounds=].

* NauseaFuel:

** Most of the time, the ''only'' criticism ''Quake Arena Arcade'' faces in reviews is... [[NeedsMoreLove "Not enough people are playing it"]] (and its elevated price). Which says a lot about this port, as well as the fact that some of its content found its way back to ''Quake Live''.

* PolishedPort: Each of the console ports for the game have proven to be pretty good in running the game smoothly and capturing it's feel the main (and sometimes only) criticism is how the game controls with A regular controller.

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: "You have taken the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead! You have lost the lead! You are tied for the lead!

** The {{BFG}}, changed from an imposing, slow-charging superweapon in ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' to a Plasma Gun on Steroids.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The first two ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' games had nothing to do with each other at all. To rectify this, ''Arena'' establishes that both ''VideoGame/QuakeI'' and ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' [[CanonWelding exist in the same universe]] by incorporating characters and elements from both titles.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[ArtificialLimbs Visor]], [[CyberPunk Anarki]] and [[RollerbladeGood Slash]] are some of the most used characters in the game, to the point were All three of them make a return in "VideoGame/QuakeChampions"

* NeedsMoreLove: The main criticism of ''Quake Arena Arcade''? "Not enough people is playing it". In many reviews, it's even the ONLY criticism of the game.

* MostWonderfulSound: Every weapon sound.

** History generally records Quake 3 as the winner[[note]]Unreal did, however, get better reviews[[/note]] although neither franchise has aged well. Quake lost it's title as king of multi-player FPS to ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' and eventually ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' as the realistic modern warfare trope started to develop, while Unreal Tournament tried to reinvent itself as a ''Battlefield'' style vehicle based game but didn't get anywhere near the popularity of ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}} 1942'' which was released several years earlier.

* EpilepticTrees: Is Sarge, the supposedly main character of the game, [[VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} B.J.Blazkowicz]] himself?

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Courtesy of both Music/FrontlineAssembly and Music/SonicMayhem, also carried on to ''Live'':
** Frontline Assembly's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZABmGe7CjWc Deathmatch]], the industrial bombardment you'll be hearing across many maps, and for good reason.
** Sonic Mayhem's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG6oBC0Ym5c Quad Damage]] a.k.a. the main theme of ''Team Arena'' and the theme of the final battle against [[FinalBoss Xaero]]. It takes a bit to start, once it starts it takes you through an IndustrialMetal rollercoaster ride.
** Sonic Mayhem's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMeijwDR0aQ Fraggot]] ([[PrecisionFStrike Fuck U Up!]] in the ''Quake III Arena Noize'' soundtrack), another track which starts slow then builds up until it explodes.
** Sonic Mayhem's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02dp6XXBJ1E Rocket Jump]] (Digital Distress in the ''Quake III Arena Noize'' soundtrack), the calm and pulsating theme associated with the space maps thanks to [[BestLevelEver q3dm17, a.k.a. The Longest Yard]].
** Sonic Mayhem also released an album called ''Quake III Arena Noize'' featuring several tracks which apparently were made for the game but were never used nor included, such as:
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d5fCxVJtvc Swallowed]], a theme raging with urgency which wouldn't be out of place in many maps.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssfSXF1WInI Collapse]], a very industrial sounding piece which starts as bass-and-drum, then explodes into a very robotic theme.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv4EpG7BWAU Tribulation]], a robotically rocking theme fitting of the Tier 4 levels, particularly [[BestLevelEver q3tourney4, a.k.a. Vertical Vengeance]] or q3dm11, a.k.a. Deva Station.
