How to Begin Playing

Boot up Quake 3. Go to the mods selection on the main
screen. Select the name of the directory that you
created during the installation (most likely railgun). 
Press load. Begin a skirmish level or
whatever you want. Single player allows Railgun
Frenzy playability. Have fun practicing against the bots.

Need Help?

Can't beat the bots? We made sure that the bots in this 
mod are especially good. We have programmed them to use
the rapid-fire Railgun to the best of their ability.
We recommend starting at the easiest difficulty setting.
Nightmare level is literally impossible. You simply
can't win. You are killed before you can even shoot once.
We may do something about this in later versions. 
Even on the easiest difficulty, the bots have good aim.
They are easy, but their aim is still good. Practice.
