quake2 is cool...............................................................

MB,

I have not played Quake2 registered yet. (Slipgate said the second demo would be out "after the point release". Is that supposed to mean that there is a demo2 release date I am unaware of? Or is id ((yes, I didn't say ID, I know that ID is wrong)) late in releasing it? ((If the "point release" was Dec.9'th.)) ) But I wanted to talk about something I did back in the Doom2 days. (I loved that game. But, then again, I would have hated it if I had registered Doom1.) I used to play multiplayer games with my friend at night. (One time we played from 6pm to 3am coop. Talk about game play value) We had gotten tired of DM, and tired of the tedious task of finding keys, and then getting killed and having to find them again. (Or, I believe, once you got a key, it was yours even after you've died? I've forgotten, since my Doom2 floppies went defective and GTI refused to replace them. id wanted me to fax them copies, and I never bothered to.) So, we starting play DM games in coop. This way, there would be monsters (why was monsters in DM unimplemented in Q1? Is it implemented in Q2? It better be, since there is no coop!) in the game, and we wouldn't have to worry about finding the keys. We also might respawn at the level exit point. This could be the answer, if id has monsters in DM. What do you think?

quake2.com staff:

I was worried that the release of Q2, Quake2.com would become a buffet of discombobulated information. Instead, it is professional, well organized, up-to-date, and informative!

YOUR SITE ROCKS!!!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

Also, I hope your finals went well!! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!!

Hi...

I´m from Germany, and bought Quake II Why isn´t the Officiall Editor included ? I thought it´ll be...

So Long...

I think you should have a male charecter as well as a female.

Just a quick note to let you know that I think you have perhaps one of the best web sites of any kind on the net. From graphics design to organization to content, everything is superior. Great Job. Thanks.

We recently filled out a survey which was linked off of your site pertaining to changing clans to some other name. Unfortunately, I did not retain the link. Any idea what the results of the proposed name change was? I know that I was voting for more militaristic terms like squad, platoon, etc. This would allow you to increase your ranks and more people became interested. In addition, this suits the higher number of players for Q2. Eg. You might have two squads of 5 each having a team leader going up against a platoon of similar size. I prefer this type of combat to single player slaughter fests. You might have a platoon leader which ranked over these. You could have a ladder type of configuration where you increased in ranks with the number of kills that you would have.

Sorry for blabbing but I just wanted to know so that my site can reflect the change. Thanks!

Hey, this is Khaos/ aka Khro,

I have been told that people have the hability to hide in Quake2, since I got it, I have been trying to hide in the shadows and stuff, I have noticed that the enemies do not come right for you, if you are in a spot they don't expect you to be; I can also sneek up behind them, but otherwise, I have not been able to hide in the shadows!

Maybe you can tell me of places in the game where I can hide in shadows, and maybe what I am doing wrong.  I normally stick close to the wall, and crawl; if I am not doing something, or if you can help me, please do!!  By the way, could you tell me if the weapons have lights on them, if so which ones do, so I can try without those weapons?

Thank you in advance, Khaos.

Disappointing!   I am one of those guys that have a non Sound Blaster card, a turtle beach tropez 2000 card. the choppy sounds in 3.05 in the opening cut scene and elsewhere were bad in Q2test and in 3.05. The fix's or patchs with the s_wavonly 1 seemed to fix this anonmaly.   Well with the 3.09 patch teh cut scene inro sound is bad and choppy again, but the sound in the game are ok if your in "sound card compatible mode vs high performance, this is something new I think Carmack and the guys are trying to figure out how to iron out the sound stuff....   The ID moniker that first starts up also is choppy and the in between unit sounds are lousy... GOD someone needs to tell John and the boys at ID stop putting out things that break more things We can wait for a few weeks until they get it right...   Its discouraging to see this kind of stuff, I do work in the industry and quality control here is lacking. John and the guys at ID have created a monster and need to get it under control.   Putting out several patches in a few days even hours apart says "i screwed up..etc" I know they are really trying to fix the stuff, I really like Quake and really want them to suceed BUT we are the paying Quake fans that want it right also, please send this along to them if if can,   thanks adydula@mindspring.com (oh buy the way, I really like you website, its my home default!! keep up the good work!)

I'm sure you've heard this question a thousand times before but i'm gonna ask again.  I got two computers that are hooked up with a network cable.  I love playing games against my friends over the network because there is virtually no lag and Quake II deathmatches are the best.  In games like Quake I and JediKnight, all I had to do was select IPX.  Why did they leave IPX support out of Quake II.  I love the game and all but I feel it was a bit rushed, way to many bugs. Oh well, I probably shouldn't complain. I hope I get a reply sometime, thanks.

Okay, i took a screen shot in.... map city1 i was testing the famkebot(it REALLY needs to be fixed up =) hehehe) anyways, i went up high onto the ledge where the gernade launcher is and just stopped for a sec to get something, when i came back and looked at the screen, i noticed an animal in the sky... clearly! i'll send it to you later, BYE!

Why doesn't Quake II have modem play support?  The FAQ says its because of lag time, but the internet is worse and many people don't care anyway. Besides, many people either have no internet access or have to pay by the minute and would prefer modem play, in addition to modem play being easier.  One of the main reasons that people get games like this is for modem play.  Please make a patch to allow modem support and give info on how to get it.

your animated weapons just BLEW ME AWAY!! WOW!!   i mean they are so wicked (i mean the animated gifs like the grenades) that i just HAD to tell you. they're sooo cooooll =)

I would be curious to know what happens to the prick that hacked your site. Will there be any follow up?

Great site, I drop by almost every night. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into it. It IS appreciated.

Happy New Year!

Way to go guys! I DON'T CARE ABOUT SAVE GAMES!!! I didn't buy the thing to play against the processor... You guys keep chuggin' along. This, without a doubt, has been the BEST positive customer service response that I've ever seen. I haven't had any problems with connection (up to 8 players on the server so far), but then again, I spent the last two weeks getting Wing Commander: Prophecy out of the way so I could devote more time to this now. Only problem I see right now is the lack of command line support. Too bad you didn't include a Help switch like "-?". I suppose that might create a performance hit though... In any event, it's a Kick-Ass program. And we all appreciate your efforts.

Have you ever noticed that you don't carry extra health (anything over your max with adrenaline added) to other levels.  Yeah, everytime I go into another part of the unit my health usually over my limit like 115 out of 102 or something goes back to 102.  I don't know if this is a bug or just the way the game was designed.  Why do you get to keep extra armor though as you travel between levels in the unit?  Please respond, I'm curious ...

This game is great!! But, it really does SCREAM for a cooperative game play mode over the inter-net. Some of these bad ass monsters almost require 2 to take them out without using some kind of cheat. Adding cooperative play over the inter-net{ie:Diablo} would add not just hours of game play but, literally months. :-)

Hi folks,

on the January 1st 1998 the site has been hacked and mutated to a warez site (actually had a pointer to a warez site)... with copies of Q2! I wonder how they did that... anything you can tell me about that? I'm just curious. Tnx.

well i always check your page and it has the best news on quake2.. well i read that stuff about the crashing hackers. i think that you should do more than just ask them how they did it and then fix the problem because there just gonna figure out another way how to do it. I think that ID software should accually some how UPLOAD a virus or some kinda bug that blows there computer up and makes there monitor explode.. im getting very mad at these asshole hackers and i would like it to stop, i think that ID should scare these people with LEGAL cases (no joke). Im behind yeah IDsoftware and quake2.com all the way, I say destroy these people who are causing all this bull****.

LONG LIVE QUAKE2 .
