Much has happened with the
development of
RQ3 since the creation of the above writeup. For starters, the official Reaction Quake 3 website can now be found at
www.reactionquake3.net.
The current (as of this writeup)
version is
Beta 2.25, with Beta 2.3 due along shortly. Most major
bugs in terms of
weapon imbalance,
physics, and
stability have been resolved by now. The files for Beta 2.25 can be found here:

Of course you will need
Quake 3 installed to play.
If you enjoyed the fast-paced
gameplay of
Action Quake 2, or other
realism mods, this game might be
right up your alley, and the
community is always in need of more players, which means you should be able to find plenty of open
servers. If you're interested in taking your involvement one step beyond that, and have the
skills, you could even start
mapping for the game.
