Quake is not just a singleplayer fragfest! In fact, many would say that it is far more fun to play over the Internet both with and against other humans. This part explains the variety of game modes on offer and how you can join in the fun.
AudioQuake gives you the ability to play true Internet multiplayer games in a variety of modes. You can also play offline practice games against computer-generated “bots”. This will allow you to hone your skills before joining real multiplayer games and allows you to play any time you like (not just when your friends are online).
Because the gametypes available are common to both practice matches and multiplayer games, the gametypes will be described in the next chapter. The following chapters detail how you can actually play practice matches and multiplayer games.
Finally, details are given on how you can run your own Quake server. This is allows you total control over the gametypes and maps you play, as well as broadening the availability of accessible Quake matches for others on the Internet (more on this later).
