Quake 3 Single Player modes

While Quake 3 was built with multiplayer mayhem in mind, ether through the internet or on a LAN, it also features a complete single player experience where you combat computer controlled "bots". There are two modes of single player competition: Skirmish mode and Tournament mode. Selecting "Single Player" from the main menu will allow you to choose your mode of play. Each mode is described below.

Skirmish Mode

This mode of play offers you the most freedom. You can basically select which maps you wish to play on and customize which computer controlled opponents you want to compete against. This is essentially like playing on a multiplayer server where you have complete control over the game settings. You control many factors, such as what map you play, how many and which gladiators you fight against, what their skill level is, how many points are needed to win a match, and how much time you have to reach that score. Simply follow the on-screen menus to customize your game.

Tournament or "Fight" Mode

In this mode, you follow the single player tournament where you have to blast your way through several tiers of pre-determined foes on a series of maps. You have less freedom here than you do in Skirmish mode, but it gives you a good standard against which to measure your skills and an ultimate goal to reach: the seventh tier.

Tournament mode advances by unlocking new "tiers" or sets of maps for you to compete on. Once you win a map (by placing first in a competition), you get to progress on to the next map. Once you win all four maps on a tier, you progress to the next tier. The seventh and last tier only has one map on which you must battle the game's most skilled bot, Xaero. If you beat him, you've proven yourself a worthy Quake 3: Arena champion.

Note that you can go back and replay previous maps you've won on if you want a little more practice or another run at it. Also note that you can change the difficulty settings between each map. Of course, you can't honestly call yourself a Quake 3: Arena champion until you've beaten Xaero on the Nightmare skill setting.
