Quake 3 was still completely C, IIRC. You might be thinking of Doom 3?

the rerelease mentioned here rename .c to .cpp globally but the code base is still c, why is that? I thought it was rewritten in c++.
It's a light touch (looks like the original structure is mostly intact) but if you search for 'std::' in, say, https://github.com/id-Software/quake2-rerelease-dll/blob/mai... you'll see there's some C++ stuff floating about.
