Learn how to set up and play Quake multiplayer matches using modem and direct connect options. Discover Deathmatch maps and strategies for online play.
This section covers setting up multiplayer games in Quake, focusing on modem and direct connect methods. Multiplayer games are primarily Deathmatch, utilizing maps designed for it or modified single-player levels. In these modified levels, enemies are removed, weapons and ammo are more abundant, puzzles are pre-solved (eliminating the need for keys), and level exits are clearly marked with rings to prevent accidental entry.
The core objective in multiplayer is to 'frag' (kill) other players to earn points. Conversely, players lose a point if they kill themselves (e.g., via self-inflicted explosive damage) or are killed by environmental hazards or level design.
