Railed - q4tourney1
Set in an abandoned, rusting Strogg facility, this new map is all about close-quarters combat and hair-trigger reflexes as players hustle through the winding, multi-tiered corridors. Designed particularly for tournament play, Railed also supports Deathmatch and TDM game modes.

Tremors - q4ctf7
Built within a twisting underground cavern, Tremors demands tactical expertise. Enemies attack from above and below in the enormous, multi-tiered environment, making team-play invaluable. Perfect for large CTF games, the map also supports the Arena CTF mode.

Campgrounds Redux - q4dm9
A revitalization of a QUAKE III Arena classic. Excellent for any number of players, Campgrounds Redux supports Deathmatch, TDM and Tournament modes, where hard-core QUAKE fans can get crazy with this throw-back to one of their old favorites.
