Quake 2 Done Quick 2 speedrun (part 1/3)

[vidhound]

Excellent work! And I will certainly take "more watchable" over "a few seconds faster" any day. Thanks!

[TronPachioftheDynamo]

This game's graphics are hella good for an oldie. It looks more fun than 1 and 3 two. Reminds me of Turok.

[CodyRicheson]

1:26 where the hell is your gun?

[witness10643]

@CodyRicheson Im guessing they glitched the game where the gun pulling out at the start of the level was haulted by something the player was doing, so it doesnt appear until a later level

[alanboro]

not even with noclip I could pass this game this fast xD

[ScrapeNow]

finally a quake speed run where I don't feel like puking or go crazy hearing "HRMPH" every bunny hop

[novalombardia]

wait a sec.... you know how to double jump but you aren't circle jumping to move faster?

I could see places where you wouldn't want to due to possibly bumping into stuff, but still... could improve your time by ALOT.

[TomGrus]

@novalombardia Not my run, I just recorded it.

The team behind this restricted their jumping, as this was their initial attempt, and they also wanted this run to be aesthetically pleasant and framerate independent.

For more information, I refer you to the "Quake2 done Quick2 FAQ".

:]

[kanistas]

sounds like a 13 yr old kid jumping and getting hurt

[Naroon201]

@kanistas The main character in this game was a female soldier, so there ya go.

[witness10643]

@Naroon201 actually, you chose weather to be male or female, but many high-level players exploit the fact that the female model is slightly smaller and harder to hit than the male counterpart.

[Naroon201]

@witness10643 Oh really? I thought it was a female by default lol. Well thanks for clearing that up.

[KidRiviera]

What version of Q2 is this? MIne looks shite in comparison lol

[TomGrus]

@KidRiviera Quake 2 Evolved

[triledink]

THIS Is calld SKILLS!!

[phillyman2004]

I never cared for the single player Quake II game, but I lost many hours on Multiplayer. Who else remembers the map with the towers that you could camp the elevators on, or the map with the huge gate off to the side, and my favorite one was the map with the huge circle stair case and the rocket launcher on the ledge. I should reinstall and look for that mod that gave you the wall mounted explosives that had the white nukes that took out 1/3 of the map.

[doomguy454]

what system are you using? pc,xbox,ps3? plz respond

[TomGrus]

@doomguy454 PC

[doomguy454]

@TomGrus ok, cause of the graphics i thought it was xbox

[m1key112]

i remember playing this when i was like 4 it was so fun

[hardstyle905]

@m1key112 yea right

[exet]

this should be called quake done qrappy

person that did this speed run is more concerned about shooting enemies than hyper jumping

shit speed run, i could do it quicker

[bizybox]

>>At first, I wanted to give it a little soundtrack,

>>but then I thought it might spoil the video for some people,

Correct. That's nice of you. Kudos

[exet]

shit speed run, hyper jumping would have been quicker

[ROGAL8]

5:16 WTF?

[holy666field]

Why don't I see strafe jumps? Wouldn't the speedrun be even faster using them?

[Nuthriz]

Hmmm I guess the boss at the end of this chapter was like - "Verily, dare I say, do I not comprehend the nature of the phenomenon that we all have apparently just hereby perceived. Comrades?"

[QullVideo]

I don't like the highres textures. I'll always be a sucker for playing the games how they were meant to be played. It's not like Quake II or Jedi Knight looked bad anyways. And the Jedi Academy Dark Forces mod is the most retarded thing i've ever seen. Just leave em' games alone ¬_¬

[mattwillis4]

Why as 3:51 does it show you spawning 2 extra ammo packs? Cheating invalidates your speed run.

[TomGrus]

-not my run

-they didn't spawn the ammo, they just dropped the boxes they were carrying...

from the q2dq2 FAQ:

"id intended that this should trap us in the computer room ... Instead we drop several ammo boxes underneath this door, to keep it open ... This normally means sacrificing some of the ammo boxes ... but in this run we got particularly lucky ... we picked up the ammo we'd dropped as we went back under the door. "

[mattwillis4]

@TomGrus I retract my comment. Thought the ammo indicator stayed at 100, and then increased when picked up. Reading dark numbers at 3am = I fail. My apologies.

[TomGrus]

no problem :]

[miciso666]

effing hell amazing run 0.0

[Gibbagobba]

this is how quake 2 was meant to be

[dragonfangalexander]

Sir, you won the internet.

[TomGrus]

@dragonfangalexander Why thanks, I love me some internets :]]

[vwr0527]

The "improved" engine you used removed all the original lightmaps. All that's left are some sparse dynamic lights, everything else that isn't lit is flat and unshaded. Looks way worse IMO. I'd MUCH prefer the original engine.

[nateskullz]

looks like mirrors edge))

[rail0r]

2:35 looks weird. Edit?

[R1DDL3RS]

how do you make a high res texture pack haha?

[gaffelnskje]

damn.. this game was populare when it came out :O u needed a "good" pc back in thoose days to run Q2

that was good times

[Misc4Lyfe]

holy fuck this map pack looks AMAZING

[wickedroy]

damn i miss strafing in games!

[vongibson1968]

that was most excellent

[vongibson1968]

nice

[Epochalyptik]

Speedrunners make reality lag.

[TomGrus]

The video was made using Quake 2 Evolved (improved game engine) with better quality (higher resolution) textures.

[QullVideo]

the texture pack is ugly, what;s wrong the normal graphics?

[TomGrus]

I like this pack. There's nothing wrong with the normal graphics of course!

[QullVideo]

@TomGrus

i just don't see the point of improving graphics. check out my Quake 2 videos... all original graphics, music and sounds :)

[jorgg99]

the first ten sec of jail are just sick :)

[PhioenixPinion]

To maker of video or aleast, downloader i guess:

Wouldnt you be scared if a half robot thing that sounded like a werid monster thing snarling at you from behind? This is just a question Lol.

[TomGrus]

if i heard any quake 2 monster sounds in real life, that would propably scare me :)

[Michaelsdick]

quake 1 is scarier

[imorio]

What did you do to get past the yellow lasers at 5:16?

[TomGrus]

not me playing.

from the q2dq2 FAQ:

"...lasers do their own collision detection, and they only check to see if anything has touched them ten times a second. If the player is entirely on one side of the lasers the one time they check, and then moves fast enough that they are entirely on the other side of them by the time the next check occurs, the lasers never notice the player crossing through them in the interval. The bunny-hop gives the necessary speed to cross through in time."

[cenaro55]

@imorio crouch jump no doubt

[210ROCKSTA]

KILL THOSE FUCKIN STROGGS

[DouglasSolidINC9]

what platfrom is this on?

[TomGrus]

Windows (XP x64)

[pressar]

i think the character is a female.if not then the character is just gay and owns everything in the game :P

[rolexx]

NeW MARINES DROPPED AND SET GROUND OPERATIONAL STATUS

[ShadicoTheHedgehog]

Is it just me, or does Bitterman sound rather womanlike in the HD pack's sounds?

[TomGrus]

You're right - but that's not Bitterman :)

They've used a girl model for the whole run.

[ShadicoTheHedgehog]

Aaah, i forgot about playermodels. Thanks :D

[BrunoCNapoli]

I really would like that it would have been the Bitterman. The sounds of him jumping and getting hurt are classical.

[Zeithri]

Nice run I must say, and awesome textures. It really gives Quake 2 justice.

Good tip with Kkapture there, I must read up about it now!

[stormssc]

i didnt kniw u can jump like that in Q2

[DarkVelizar]

Thx a  lot!

[DarkVelizar]

What is this mode for better grahics? Awesome!

[TomGrus]

it's quake 2 evolved

[Munky332]

damn, Q2 evolved? i NEVER thought Q2 could look so awesome! i kno what im doin now.. lol

[kelthuzad33]

well cool vid i wish i can bhop for speed run like u but i cant T T i've try but i cant T T sorry 4 my E 5/5

[PLSatan]

This isn't version on PSX?

[TomGrus]

no, it's quake 2 evolved for PC

[PLSatan]

5:17 WHAT THE HELL?!

[flimadkd]

nice video! I never really played quake 2 that much. The only game I spent most of my time playing was quake 1 (quakeworld). Back in the day I had the quake 2 demo but didnt like it that much.. gameplay was too slow compared to quake 1.. at least thats what I thought.

[smauli94]

damn what graphics :P

i wish i would still have that on pc, but i only have it on ps2 : / 

anyway nice job

[ShanusMaximus4332]

Awesome graphics! I have Quake 2 and 1 how did you do that?

[TomGrus]

it's quake 2 evolved, read the vid description...

[VShalak]

This run is DATED, groobo's run is faster and way better done!

[snygfred]

Groobos run was on easy skill(skill 0) and our run was on nightmare skill (skill 3), you cant really compare our runs. His run was good, but only a couple of seconds better than our nightmare run. We started making a run on skill 0 and got half way through, 10-20 seconds faster than groobo, but since we didn't think the improvement was big enough we stopped producing demos.

I'm the player in these demos named as Fredrik. I'm also in the Quake1 done quicker movies.This is old school original Q2.

[VShalak]

@snygfred Quake II doesn't have a nightmare skill. If you were really one of the runners, you'd know that off the top of your head. And the description of groobo's run over on SDA clearly says "best time, hard mode." You may be thinking of Collin Moore's run, which was taken down from the site two years ago. That was the only run of that game on easy mode.

[snygfred]

@VShalak

Ugh, firefox acts on its own. Hope I manage to keep this answer. Anyway, you can play nightmare skill in quake2, but you have to type skill 3 in the manual console. In the menus you can only choose hard skill (skill 2). Groobos run also had unrestricted bunnyhopping. Hope that clarifies...

[distroya2k]

Dude, I have to say, this was an impressive set of speedrun videos. You've really gone to town on this one. I was pretty stunned whilst watching these videos.

I think I'll fave all 3. *thumbs up*

[r3bornbs]

nice one! i am a huge fan of q2 (as well as q1&3, but not 4^^), this is the best fps series ever

[r3bornbs]

zomg i forgot doom 1&2 and duke3d, but whatever ))

[idTill]

yeh quake 4 sucked
