Threewave

Core Gameplay and Content

The primary focus of this modification is delivering varied and distinct multiplayer game modes that expand upon the standard deathmatch formula. While retaining the high-speed movement and precise aiming characteristic of its source material, it introduces specific objectives that redefine team and individual play.

What game modes are included?

The modification notably features several distinct modes:

• The namesake mode, which serves as the central experience.
• Rune Free-for-All, suggesting a variation on the classic free-for-all deathmatch, likely incorporating a unique "rune" mechanic for scoring or power-ups.
• Capture-Strike, which implies a team-based objective mode requiring coordination and map control.

The atmosphere remains rooted in the high-octane, futuristic arena setting established by the original title, emphasizing quick reflexes and mastery of movement across complex, multi-tiered maps.

Relationship to Other Content

It is important to note the lineage of this content. While this specific release is a modification package, much of the unique content and gameplay innovations developed within it were later integrated into subsequent official iterations of the arena shooter franchise, specifically appearing in Quake Live.

What is the current state of this modification?

As of its original release in 2001, this title does not feature any officially released downloadable content (DLC) or expansions. Its content package is fixed to what was delivered in the initial 2001 release. The experience is defined by the established mechanics and modes present at that time.

Platform Availability

This modification is exclusively available for play on the PC platform running Microsoft Windows.
