Quake II (PC) Online Deathmatch Part 3 *Loud Sound Warning*

I still suck at this game.

This is just more footage of me having fun in the online play of Quake II.

I recoded this with Xfire's screen recorder, so the sound eventually becomes un-synced. Sorry, I don't know how to fix that. It's also a little scratchy.

I'm playing on TastySpleen.net::Vanilla server.

There is still a lively community dedicated to this game, so if you were ever a fan, or are interested in trying the game out then get yourself a copy of the game, get Xfire, or another service like it, and get to fraging.

@DarkShadowRage2 I hate matchmaking myself. In fact, the early console online games didn't have that, they had a similar setup to PC games. As for the different guns, I don't mind people having different guns in tactical games like the old Socom series, because any gun in that game can kill you quick (because there aren't cheap ass superman-perks and you had your choice of all the guns from the start so it was, again, equal), however, I'm not a fan of recent online games because they are cheap

@teh2Dgamer Yeah, I thought it was retarded on Bioshock 2, I only get a pistol and a shotgun, but i'm seeing higher level players running around with tommy guns and I can't even pick up their guns! it's just really lame :/ I don't want to wait around in a lobby for people to join, I don't want to level up to get better guns. I want everyone to start out with the same stuff and every one have a chance to use all the guns at once. Ala Quake.

@DarkShadowRage2 It depends on the game for loadouts. I do like tactical games (like the old R6 series) for their own reasons, but the leveling up thing is cheap IMO. It not only means that the new player is at a disadvantage for not knowing the maps, or how to play the game that well, but they really are at a disadvantage. In quake a newb can still get lucky on a pro, because you all start on level ground, however in MW, the noob has less life, and inferior equiptment. MW takes Less skill 2 pla

@teh2Dgamer I'm not much of a halo fan myself, but what I really do hate now a days is the Call of Duty Syndrome, I'm sick of weapon loadouts and perks and "leveling up" to get new weapons. It's just not fun, that load out crap and match making is what killed bioshock 2's Multiplayer on the PC version. PC games should always have a server list, there is no excuse for dumbing it down to it's console counterpart. I miss arena style shooters such as quake and unreal.

@DarkShadowRage2 I still don't understand why Halo is so popular aside from the name. From a gameplay standpoint, it's a slower, less fun version of these games. The only difference being vehicles, and different weapon sets. Halo is OK, don't get me wrong, but the slow floaty physics drive me crazy.

[DarkShadowRage2]

@teh2Dgamer Exactly, these type of games are fun, and I think quake 2 is still one of the fastest FPS games to date. No game has matched it in speed at all IMO. most current gen FPS games are ...like slow as slugs.

[teh2Dgamer]

@DarkShadowRage2 Well, modern online FPS gamers want to be able to hide, and snipe, and get little perks. They can't handle a game as fast and hectic as this is. I personally love games like this, but the new standards are different from the old. Different, but certainly not better IMO.

[DarkShadowRage2]

@teh2Dgamer You aren't that bad, but it's a shame they don't make games like this any more. This game is liquid gold.

[teh2Dgamer]

@DarkShadowRage2 Yep. I'm terrible at the game, and I still have a blast every time I play it online.

Quake II <3 one of the best games out there still.
