Smokin’ Guns

Smokin’ Guns is a total conversion of Quake III made available as a stand-
alone title. It is a multiplayer game with a western theme with the game modes
duel, deathmatch, team deathmatch, round teamplay, and bank robbery where one
team consists of outlaws trying to steal gold and another as lawmen preventing
them from entering the bank.

The game comes with many maps set in deserted towns, a mine, a steamboat and
an express train. The arsenal consists of single or dual pistols, shotguns,
machine guns, shotguns and other items such as a scope, dynamite and boiler
plates. Weapons can be found by picking them off dead players or through the
in-game buy menu. Cash for the weapons is earned by killing players or by
collecting it in the level where it respawns regularly. Through the same menu,
ammunition can be bought.

The levels often offer a stealth approach, hiding behind crates or shooting
through windows that can break. Weapons can only contain a small amount of
bullets (unless an additional ammo belt is bought) and need to be reloaded
regularly. Different body parts can be targeted for different damage and when
hit players notice a small slowdown in movement.

Singleplayer is also available with all the team modes, but with the same maps
and game modes to be played against bots with customizable skill levels. It is
also possible to play a game with a handicap to even the odds. All levels come
with a proper soundtrack that fits the theme.
