Game Modes
In addition to the standard Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch, Tournament, and Capture the Flag modes from the original game, Team Arena has three new team-based objective game modes (all of which use CTF maps as a base):
- One Flag CTF - Teams fight for control of a neutral flag at the center of the arena, scoring points for planting that flag at the enemy flag pedestal.
- Overload - Each team pedestal is replaced by a large skull, which can be shot at by enemies and regenerates slowly. Teams score points by eliminating the enemy skull.
- Harvester - Teams fight for control of enemy team-colored skulls that are dropped at the center of the arena on enemy player deaths, scoring points for each skull held when running over the enemy flag pedestal. Players can remove their team's skulls by running over them.
Characters
In addition to the characters from Quake III Arena (all of which can only be played in Free-for-All and Tournament modes), Team Arena includes four new "base" characters:
- Fritzkrieg (can only be used in Free-for-All and Tournament modes)
- James
- Janet
- Pi (can only be used in Free-for-All and Tournament modes)
In all team-based modes, only James and Janet can be used. Each of them have their own unique outfits corresponding to different factions (Crusaders, Intruders, Pagans, Stroggs, and the Fallen) and have multiple alternate character "skins" (with the only difference being the head):
- Callisto (uses Janet model)
- Flayer (uses James model)
- Gammy (uses Janet model)
- Gaunt (uses James model)
- Khan (uses James model)
- Megan (uses Janet model)
- Morgan (uses James model)
- Neptune (uses James model)
- Ursula (uses Janet model)
In single-player mode, each faction has their own set of bots based on the skins above. Neither Flayer nor Ursula are used as opponents in these modes.
Crusaders: Darkangel (Janet), Lionheart (Morgan), Bradamante (Megan), Furioso (Neptune)
Intruders: Morgan, Punisher (Khan), Gaunt, November (Janet)
Pagans: Khan, Deadeye (Gaunt), WarLokk (James), Callisto
Stroggs: Enforcer (Callisto), Icarus (James), Gammy, Gladiator (Megan)
The Fallen: Neptune, Stalker (Morgan), Ursula, Abominator (James)
