The game ends once the frag or time limit is reached. When a player dies, he will loose all of his items and have to respawn, starting from scratch. The typical game modes in Quake III have the player spawn with just a weak Machinegun and no armor, the player will have to scavenge the map for more items and build up a stack so that he or she have a better chance against all other opponents.
