Matrix Quake 3 is a modification being made on the Quake 3 game engine.
A new development document is being created at the moment, but some main points I can give out right now are:
Game-Play
Team Death Match: Players start in the ship bay (the real world) and you enter can go inside (If your on the Resistance team). To enter the Agent team you need to go over to the other side of the room where you can see the machine world. When your over there youll see seats made of wires (like the one neo sat in to go in the final fight in Matrix Revolutions). Then youll be jacked into the matrix as an Agent. After you go in the ship you can enter the matrix/team by going up to one of the jack-in stations. While your in the matrix, a default model will show up sitting in the chair so that people cant go in the same spot as you (basically to show how much room is left for people to join the game. If all the seats are filled, you can spectate or wait till next round). To spectate the game, you go up to the Operator booth and hit the use key which will move your camera into the matrix and watch the game going on (This is still being decided because we are thinking about making an Operator class accessable for loading players up with specific skills, weapons, etc (kind of like the commander in Natrual-Selection)). If you were playing in the previous round and there is someone in the ship who hasnt been given a chance to play yet, you will not be able to enter the matrix till next round (Just so that everyone gets a chance to get in the game so people dont have to go running towards a chair and leave some people who probably never got to play for hours).
Team Mission: There are 3 different mission modes, "Retrieve", "Destroy", and "Take over". These are still in developement stages under the development document, but Ill give a little info. Retrieve mode can be either retrieving a document (like a video recording) or a person (In the top floor of a building), Destroy would be either destroy a zone (like a machine sector, or something) etc. And take over is where you have to go to many different places in the map and there will be computer(s) at each capture spot. You have to hack the computer to control one of the sections. Agents can take back the section the same way (kind of like capture the flag I guess). Hacking the computer takes time, so youll have to be quick about it. You have to hold down the use key for some amount of time and then you will have it. etc.
Team LMS (Last Man Standing): Same as above except when you die, you are ejected from the seat and you can go up to the operator booth to spectate the rest of the game till the next round, then you can go back in the seats.
Death Match: For death match you just start in the Loading program and pick your guns (There is a limit mind you. You'll have ECP (Equipment Carrying Points which limit you to how much you can carry (so you can have alot of knifes and a Beretta 92f, etc). Once you have all your weapons you walk to the end of the room and you'll enter the matrix. Every time you die you will continue to enter the Matrix until you choose to enter the loading program from the menu. If you choose to go back to the loading program while still alive, you'll have to wait till you die first, then you will be back and choose your equipment again.
Last Man Standing: Same as Death Match except when you are the last man alive you win a prize such as full bullet time meter or bullet freeze, etc (You are probably wondering how the Bullet time Meter will work, don't worry, i'll get to explaining it shortly).
Ideas
Remember, any of these ideas can change in the future, same with game play ideas. It is just what I had written down in the design document as underconstruction documentation on our project.
More will be added to this as we work with the development document.

Matrix Quake 3, a revived Quake 3 modification has made its way back into the "Land of the Living", as friends come together to complete this project, once and for all.
The modification use to belong to the old Matrix Quake 3 Staff, which Jenny_Kitty was lead modeler for, but people grew busy and eventually that broke the mod team apart. With the return of Jenny_Kitty, she willingly offered to continue the mod, and the past project team gave all the source files to the new staff, bring Matrix Quake 3 back into this world. As you can see below, we have created many new maps, models, and textures since the old Matrix Quake 3:
More screenshots can be viewed in the image gallery. Here are some of the latest updates since the pick up:
-New models, including: Beretta 92f, Microuzi, Ak-47, Mp5k, and Glock 18
-New player models including Agent Smith and Neo
-New maps including the famous Lobby scene, Seraph's Teahouse, Subways from the First and Third movies from the Trilogy, and Mobil Ave Station.
-New forum, and soon a new website

I have the info for the site setup now are you still intrested IM or e-mail me to get the info
Looking better every day... :)
Alrite so far I Have done what I believe is the finished Subway. Which is good theres a picture in the gallery.
And have started changing textures on the Lobby to look more like the movie, and edited it a little bit. So if all goes well Ill have done some good progrss on that too, and have a good days mapping done.
Today I have decided I am goign to 100% finish the Matrix 1 Subway map. So I can get that out of the way, and have 2 100% finished maps under my belt.
Once its done ill slap up some images on here and tell you all :)
Thanks guys.

Oh srry,
e-mail me when you get a chance i have some info on the FTP now!
I didn't say you were lead modeler, I said "I" was lead modeler back then :P
I wasnt Lead Modeller was more like Lead Mapper but thx, and yer welcome, glad to see that our old proj is still being worked on! Cant wait to play it!
great news :-)
Ok, I have good news. Actually, a couple pieces of good news. First, I talked to the old MQ3 team (Which I was the Lead Modeler for back then) and they said we could have the old MQ3 website/webspace. So, the link to the website above has changed to the working on. The site template is temporary until we can get a web master. Another bit of good news is that i'm almost done working on Neo's head. I've been working on just the head for about a week now, making sure I have it looking next to perfect at every angle (Well, at least every angle in the 20 pictures I used of Keanu Reeves' head). Check the site for updates (As soon as I update it.
I'm working on the Neo player model now. Its about time we get some characters done.
