Team Arena is an affront to the way content is added to first person shooters, a concept pioneered and now abandoned by id. With each new release, they come closer to meeting that definition. Like Tom says, this is the kind of content we've come to expect in free downloads. What's really disappointing is seeing id's failure to step up to meet the challenge of Epic and Unreal Tournament. Finally, by making people pay for this, id is dividing the FPS Quake III community.
Expansions traditionally do just a fraction of the sales volume that the original does.
It's almost a guarantee that a number of shooter fans won't pick this up. It's as if id wants to drive even more players towards CounterStrike. Three Inc. All rights reserved. Read our disclaimer . Check out the our forums for the latest on Shrapnel Games.
