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.
The search is on to find the hottest mod of 2009, so if you
believe this is the one - vote for it. Everybody can vote all
they want, however, guest votes only count in the event
of a tie. For rules, prizes, movies & more - head on over
to the official 2009 awards page. Good luck to all!

Matrix Q3 has been moving a bit slower lately due to the fact that I have to learn programming until I can find a programmer to join the project, and since im the only modeler on the project, models slow down in process of learning a new skill.
Dispite the setbacks, we have been able to gather up some renders and screenshots of our "Monthly Update" and here it is:
On some other news, the mod has experienced a slight problem in file storage. We have lost some of our maps and textures because of reformating, so there will be a bit of a setback, but we will work on getting the lost files remade.
Thank you, from the Matrix Q3 staff.

Gj you found a coder! :D
Ok, here we go. I had to upload the pictures to my server because Moddb decided to change their image locations and also made images lowerquality due to their water marks (Which I wish didn't come):

Hmmm, I guess. But it means that they get an even MORE advantage. They can just keep spawning with miniguns and blow the resistance away and win the match in no time.
We can have a vote about it I guess. Also, im looking for another modeler for the project if your interested. I have to spend time learning programming because we cant get a coder, and since im the only modeler on the team, we could use another, but its up to you. It would be good to have another helping hand ^^
i know that angents only used deagles in the movies, but with a mod you can explore new heights and change things up, impliment your own ideas/uniqueness.
Well, correct me if im wrong, but Agents only used degals in the movie right? Also, agents get to respawn through assimilation of the Civilians in the city, so they can respawn near you or far from you, depending on how close you are to civilians, so technically they have quite the advantage already :/
love the mod. only thing i disagree on is agents only get desert eagles, thats boo boo.
All renders and map shots have been updated in higher resolution/less blur. Enjoy
THE TIME HAS COME! Glock 18 Model and Skin are completed. Now to put it in game with the rest of the master peices.
Good news: Glock 18 is fully skinned and ready to be put in game with the rest of the guns.
Bad news: Our skinner still didn't get his internet installed when he finished moving -_-
More bad news: Im learning programming just to keep my mod alive because lots of programmers dont want to join mods that dont have basic coding, even though our mod DOES have basic coding and they STILL said no. And it really sucks too because now Ive lost all my free time, but hopefully in the end I'll have a life......and have the mod done..............but most importantly a life...............and.....the mod.
Anyways, keep checking back, I'll keep bugging Ruthven for the model and skins -_-
The team has had a few setbacks, Some of the map work has been lost due to my computers shittyness and caught a massive virus and had to be reformated. Most of the maps main stuff is still there, thanks to me sending a copy of the .maps to jen. But none of the textures :( There was a backup of my entire Q3 dir on my brothers computer, who was more than happy to delete it for me.
So mapping progress has taken a bit of a dent, and Will have to work to get everythign back now.
