The movement is kinda odd, explosions look much better then the modeled ones and the enemy flies to the side if something explodes or you shoot it. Model animation is a bit jerky at times, hud looks better imo.

Are there any dm maps?

Post by **Don Carlos** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 6:45 pm

Fine i will download it and try it myself then

Post by **o'dium** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 6:45 pm

No. There wasn't any DM maps with VQ2 when it shipped, why would there be any in a test

This is VERY true

I forgot all about that :icon32:

Nope there is no multiplayer support, only 3 maps demo1, demo2, demo3. I'm looking at the pak files for quake2 and q2test comparing changes. I notice the faces in q2test are more detailed for some reason, however quake2 has more wires and such in the models, but only slight differences.
