Learn how to join a game in Quake, covering Single Player, Multiplayer Deathmatch, and Cooperative modes. Understand the objectives and unique features of each.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Single Player: Play through the game's story levels alone. This mode allows saving and loading games and the use of console cheats.
  2. 2
    Multiplayer: Set up servers to play against other players, primarily in Deathmatch. Maps are either designed for Deathmatch or are Single Player levels adapted for multiplayer. In these adapted levels, enemies are removed, weapons and ammo are more plentiful, keys are unnecessary, and puzzles are often pre-solved. The goal is to 'frag' (kill) other players for points. Killing yourself or dying to the environment results in a point loss.
  3. 3
    Cooperative (Co-op): This is a multiplayer version of the Single Player campaign. Players work together against Quake's enemies. If a player dies, they respawn but lose a point from their score.
Tips
  • In Single Player, utilize saving and loading to manage progress and experiment with cheats.
  • Multiplayer Deathmatch focuses on player-vs-player combat and scoring frags.
  • Cooperative mode emphasizes teamwork and overcoming the game's challenges together, with respawns available at a score penalty.
