Pros
Pro Worthwhile time investment for competitive play
Not many available FPS games have such a high skill ceiling as Quake III Arena, making this a great game to invest time into, for those that want to get to a competitive level.
Pro Offline LAN support
By using a LAN connection, multiple computers can facilitate multiplayer without the need for an internet connection.
Pro You can easily run the game on low end PC's
Due to the age of the title (released 1999) and the requirements of said title in the modern day, the game can easily be played on just about any PC from the last 10 years.
Pro Plenty of variation with multiple game modes keeps the gameplay fresh
Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag are the various modes that players can select within the game. This allows for enough change in gameplay for the user so that the game never gets old too fast.
Pro Runs well even on weaker hardware
Pro Engaging and motivated community
Teeworlds' one-of-a-kind community is the thing keeping the game alive. Be it the community servers or maps or all the other innovative content.
Pro Easy to pick up but hard to master
You will never stop learning new tricks while playing Teeworlds, no matter how long you play. At the same time it's easy for new players to just pick it up and have a blast.
Pro Available from Steam and in Linux distributions
So it's easy to play cross-platform with friends.
Pro Tons of mods and maps
Pro Very fun and engaging gameplay
Even at relatively low skill levels the game is a lot of fun - think Worms in Realtime! The antics you can get up to while "hooking" yourself around maps is just silly :P.
Pro Very pretty

Pro Usually populated servers
Cons
Con Poor quality voice-overs
Given that it is an older title and thus released when studios put little money towards quality voice-overs, Quake III Arena stands out as one of the worst of its kind, not least on account of the game announcer who is one of the main culprits.
Con Weird net-code
Even though the game is playable without issues and characters move like they should, they don't register enemies' mouse movements really well. Because of that, it's hard to tell apart who is a spinbotter and who's a legit pro player.
