Quake3World

i just youtubed the q2 intro...I suggest you do the same and reevaluate your positions.

Q4's SP was impressive from a developer's point of view (very detailed environments, great story progression etc.) but was extremely unplayable. It was so anally slow as fuck that I ended up just skipping to later levels out of boredom. And Q4's custom community failed since it made modding far more time consuming and complex.

Q2's SP is fast and to-the-point - how Quake should be. The monsters were seriously retarded but it was still good fun, the maps were well thought out and the mission objectives were varied and interesting. MP was better too - the physics were great, interesting weapons and items, etc..

what? q2 sp was totally balls vs q1. both in terms of level design, ai and soundtrack.

Where can I buy some of those rose tinted specs you're wearing?

He gets them from his dealer

The movement in Q2 was etrememly quick if you knew how to drive it properly

Yes did to be sure and I am. T'was nice, not a masterpiece like the UT3 ending but worthy IMO.

You're right, Q1 didn't become most popular for it's tight arena deathmatch gameplay, and Q2 and Q3 didn't then follow that trend at all.

Oh no wait, you're retarded and that's exactly what happened.

In a very general sense, what you're saying is true. But getting down to the fine details, each game has extremely different gameplay (and of course the stories and settings aren't closely related) and Eraser is right.

Q2 had Action Quake 2 which had straffling up to people and sawn-off shotgunning them at point-blank range.

Action Quake 2......... Man, the good old days... Ninja kicking some guy 20 miles over a map... Good times...

t may not be impressive on a technological level (even taking the fact it's a 1998 game into account), but it absolutely breathes atmosphere with the radio chatter and all. I remember it got me totally pumped when I first saw it.

yes, I ignored the graphics, but i still get nothing from it. clearly whatever opinion you have on it, is influenced by nostalgia.

Quake 2 and as such 4 where the worst IMO.

Here's some nice nostalgia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTpxmiJO ... re=related

Where?

Quake 2 was by far my fave, so much so that Quake 4 sucked arse totally because it was nothing like Quake 2... Which it was supposed to be.

HOWEVER...

I would fucking LOVE to see a follow up to Quake 1 with all modern whizz-bang and stuff, would look amazing with proper shadows and detail... As long as it played like an old school shooter maybe...
