Are you ready to RUMBLE? or Rumble is a Multiplayer level. This level is intended for 4 or more players, if the player does not have 4 players they are recommended to use Bots.
This level is inspired by wrestling matches, featuring raised platforms where players would duke it out. There are also catwalks, VIP balcony seats, and cheap seating along the outer edge of the map. The Wind Tunnels are drain pipes to clean the Water below of blood and Gibs. Beside each of the fighting platforms is an invisible Teleporter that allows access to otherwise inaccessible parts of the level.
There is a general lack of Weapons in this level due to Dennis S. Dollins not being a fan of Rocket Launcher spam. He preferred Shotgun battles. The Ring of Shadows and Pentagram of Protection are hidden, but are relatively easy to find, while the Quad Damage is stored in a very easy to miss alcove inside one of the supporting posts.
In addition to Dennis S. Dollins including his initials, he also placed his fiance, Karin, behind a Movable Wall that represents a steel vault door. This represented that Dennis S. Dollins was keeping his greatest treasure behind 16 inches of solid steel.
While this level is perfectly playable in vanilla, Dennis S. Dollins generally played the level with some QuakeC modifications. He generally included falling damage that will kill some of the players immediately upon spawning into the level, limits the Rockets to a maximum of 10, and has Bots that fight alongside the people.
Note that there is a Rumble II. The only difference between this and the original version is the placement of the Movable Wall for Karin. The original was lower, resulting in it being split in half by the balcony, while Rumble II moves it upward to rest level with the balcony.

Glitches
- Upon starting the level, the player will receive a message that Edict 18 does not have a classname. This means that a certain object in the level, in this case a object that appears to be intended to be a light, does not have a classname parameter. As that parameter and value is what specifies what an object is, that means that Quake is unable to determine what "Edict 18" was intended to be.
- Upon starting the level, the player will receive a message that "Wait" is not a valid field. A Movable Wall, the one near the Rocket Launcher, has a parameter called "Wait" that cannot function properly due to the property being case sensitive (all properties are normally lowercase).
- The Wind Tunnels by the "BSD" sign are filled with Water, which conflicts with the function of pushing the player upwards. While the player can make it to the top of the Water, they will continue to be repeatedly pushed upward by a Wind Tunnel while being prevented from leaving due to a small border easily climbable without the Wind Tunnel. This means that the player can become trapped in one of these unless they use a Rocket Jump to escape.
- The Wind Tunnel at the top of the map has a spawn point that functions properly, though as the Wind Tunnel doesn't lead anywhere the player is simply kept trapped inside the Wind Tunnel.
- A message was supposed to appear when opening the hidden alcove with Quad Damage, but doesn't display due to being applied to an improper trigger - "Mr. BigStuff".
