Forget Gears of War, Halo, Unreal Tournament or any other third-person, first-person shooter you can think of, and go back in time for a little while and remember Quake 3. You have the chance to do just that now with this new mod released, Western Quake III Beta 2.2.

Needless to say, you will have to have the original Quake 3 game installed in order to enjoy this mod. We can't offer you the free full game, but we can allow you to download the Western Quake III Beta 2.2 mod for free. You can do so by clicking HERE.

Once you install this mod, you will be transferred into a world that wants to capture the "Old West's" great atmosphere. It has been developed on the Quake 3 engine and includes new weapons that are supposed to be historically accurate and information about damage, rate of fire, reload time and all that other nonsense. Also, some new gametypes and maps have been included, most of them being inspired from movies. On top of this, some new music tracks and sounds have been introduced in the mod to fit the overall feel.

As regarding gametypes, we can see two new additions, Bank Robbery game type and Duel game type. In Bank Robbery, your main purpose is robbing the bank. One team has to attack the bank and steal the money bag. The robber's team has a lot of "triple dynamite", which they use to blow a hole in the building and make away with the money. Once they have the cash, all they have to do to win is to make it back to the escape point.

In Duel game type, the mod's developers wanted to revive classic western shoot-outs. This game type is meant for 2, 3 or 4 players and also for 2 player teams.
