Ik neem aan dat je Nederlands bent vanwege je afkorting achter je naam. Indien niet het geval dan lees de Engelse vertaling.

Deze website is bedoeld voor Open Arena, een spel gebaseerd op Quake 3. Je kunt dus hier ook alleen dat spel (Open Arena) hier daadwerkelijk verkrijgen, met uitzonderingen van mods die zowel op Open Arena werken als op Quake 3.
Je kunt hier dus niet Quake 3 verkrijgen; zelfs niet tegen betaling.

I assume you're from Holland because you're name states so ("NL"); correct me if I'm wrong.

This website is meant for Open Arena, a game based on Quake 3. You can only get Open Arena here, with exceptions of mods running on Open Arena but on Quake 3 also. You can't purchase Quake 3 over here.

Well, there are two boards here to write about general things other than OA:

Not OpenArena - General http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?board=74.0
Not OpenArena - Club nub http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?board=38.0
You can find them at the bottom of the list in the main page of the forums.

Yomo should have opened this topic in one of those two, not in this "Multiplayer" section. (UPDATE: Admin moved this thread to the right section)

However, if he needs Q3A, I can guess he may buy it from Steam here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/2200/

If he just needs Q3A latest patches (PointReleases), he needs 1.32 + 1.32c... here there are Windows links:
http://www.quake3world.com/files/updates/q3pointrelease_132.exe
http://www.quake3world.com/files/updates/quake3-1.32c-win.zip

Bye!

Asking for a download link to copyrighted full Quake III Arena is illegal in this forum.

Of course, this board must NOT be used for sharing pirate links, and I don't remember such cases. However, asking for "download q3 the last version" may also have meant "the latest patch" or "a digital delivery store where to buy it"... and that has been answered.

For newcomers: Q3A engine and gamecode source code has been released under "free" GPLv2 license (https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-III-Arena), but its assets (maps, textures, characters, etc.) are still copyrighted, so Q3A cannot be shared freely. Well, that's one of the reasons OA, a FREE Q3 clone, does exist (althought the "clone" word does not sound very good, maybe).
