It's apparently rather impossible to find Team Arena servers anyway;
it never really caught on, for some reason.

I have ADSL now, but I still haven't tried playing online (the only
multiplayer I've ever played was 20 minutes of Falcon F-16 on the
Amiga in ... '86 or so).
It sounds like pretty much all the games suck due to cheaters or morons
or both.

Also, http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/
IIRC, there are quite a few Doom models for Q3. Unfortunately, like most
other planet* sites, it uses fileplanet for all the downloads and it's
sometimes fairly difficult to find them on other servers.

As I understand it, you can set some sort of 'priority zones' for the bots
when you edit levels (or when you make bot routes, perhaps), so maybe that
was the only zone in the level.
