Lately I have rediscovered Quake 3 Team Arena – a classic, straightforward shooter, perhaps the best of all time. Even against the ‘bots you can tweak up a good game on certain maps. However, in the interest of complete honesty, there are some voice clips you should hear the “Announcer Voice” say:
- “Prepare your team (for an ass-kicking)”
- “At no time will the enemy team not have your flag”
- “Gimp” (when you pick up the always useless “Ammo Regen” sigil, except at the sniper towers on “Overdose”)
- “Darwin” (when you slip and fall into the Mist of Fatal Death because you’re a Scout and have no brakes)
- “Your team has jack-and-squat”
- “Jack-and-squat returned”
- “Denied like the silly-assed poser you are” (when another player gets a pick-up just before you do)
- “The enemy team has your flag, your ass, and your nuts in a vice”
- “Mostly-invisibility” (when you get the invisibility-except-for-the-flag pick-up)
- “Whiner” (when you pick up the big pink “W” sigil)
- “Your team are a bunch of idiots who can’t tell when the flag is two feet from the base”
- “Quad Self-Damage” (when you pick up the Quad on “Stronghold Return”)
- “Suicidal” (instead of “Scout” when you pick up the green “S” sigil)
- “Why bother?” (when you pick up the Nail Gun)
- “Loser” (when another player gets an “Excellent” at your expense)
- “Retard” (when another player frags you twice in under two seconds)
- “Your ‘bots are all stuck in a corner dry-humping each other”
- “Pussy Mode” (when you add ‘bots to your team and set them all at “Nightmare” skill)
- “Holy Shit You Suck” (when you are fragged two feet away from capturing the enemy flag)
