As such, it lacked a single-player story, as it focused on multiplayer. Quake III: Arena was released in 1999 and later ported to the Xbox 360 under the title and was a competitive multiplayer shooter in the same vein as Unreal Tournament. Quake II also recieved two mission packs. Quake II's multiplayer differs from the original Quake's because of a new set of weapons, which includes the popular Railgun. In the game, a desperate counterattack is launched at the Strogg homeworld of Stroggos, but a poor insertion leaves the player as the sole man left to cripple the Strogg. Quake II introduced the Strogg, a warlike alien race of cyborgs hell-bent on conquering Earth for its resources. Quake II was released in 1997, and was related to the original Quake in name only. Though the multiplayer is the most popular part of this game, the single player is still a lot of fun, as it features some very well designed levels and a haunting, atmospheric soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails architect Trent Reznor. The single player's story is not an important part of the game, nor is it emphasized, though at the end of each single player episode the world of Quake and the evil "Hell Mother" Shub-Niggurath, along with her intent of taking over earth, are referenced in text that appears on the screen. The true 3D along with a physics model allowed new tactics and tricks, such as bunny hopping and rocket jumping. The original Quake was released in 1996, notable as id Software's first fully-3D game (prior "3D" games used what is often referred to as "2.5D," with minimal vertical movement and sprites).

The series also introduced the use of weapons to enhance and manipulate player movement, introducing concepts like rocket and plasma jumping. The series is famous for its destructive weaponry, with many iconic iterations of the rocket launcher and railgun. All of the Quake games have featured fast-paced arena shooter combat in multiplayer, the first iteration of the series helping to start the modern competitive gaming scene. These monsters fit the dark fantasy theme as they include chainsaw-wielding ogres, knights, and an assortment of strange monsters such as the shambler. The monsters in this world have opened a portal to earth (using earth's own "slipgate" teleportation technology) and wish to destroy earth. The original Quake is set in a dark, medieval style fantasy world. Three of the Quake games (Quake II, Quake 4, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars) revolve around the cyborg race called the Strogg, who battle with humanity for control of Earth and its resources. Quake titles are split between science fiction and dark fantasy settings. The Quake franchise is one of the most recognizable first-person shooter names in the industry.
