Daily reminder that Quake 3 will always be the objective peak of FPS gameplay. It was the high-watermark of the genre. Quake 3 has no skill ceiling and no other competitive FPS compares. Following its release it was all downhill for the genre. Linear, scripted, 'cinematic' shooters a la Half Life killed Doom-style FPS, while boring and slow, 2-weapon limited military FPS a la Counter-Strike killed arena FPS.

So let's have a tribute thread to Quake 3, the last truly great FPS ever made. Post cool Quake 3 stuff (Live included) to mark the occasion.
