Thanks for playing it, and for your feedback. Sounds like you need to try it on Easy or Medium level :) The weapon properties were not changed. Hard requires: good aiming, good dodging, good use of each weapon for each enemy, and finding most/all of the secrets to get the additional ammo, health and armour in them. One of my beta testers - who is a very good Q2 player - said this: "I managed to finish on hard mode pretty easily in the end, but for the average gamer I think hardmode is very balanced."
*shrug* For vanilla SP maps, there's a whole bunch of good ones out there. My personal favourite is SPoG's SP map - it's awesome. The Fileplanet download link is defunct, so here's the BSP file I have. Thanks for doing those demos, they were very useful to watch. For example, I assumed knowledge of Q2's physics peculiarity in that to get on top of a 64-unit crate, you hold down 'forward' when you jump. So, I'll need to reduce the height of those crates slightly for those who don't know this trick.
And yes - the superhealing station on the last map was intentional (for the boss battle) :) I couldn't hear any ambient sounds during the playback apart from on the 4th map (Power Core) - did you hear them / was that just an artifact of the demos? I think the RL that the Iron Maiden dropped got crushed by the door that she died beside - there was an explosion when it closed. Doh! Power sphere quest was good as well. Citizen Able was amazing as well, another Lazarus pack that made great use of it all to tell a story - you end up working for the Makron, a crime lord.
I remember a motorway escape (in vehicle), dodging rail gun shots from the 'amateur sniper squad' and a crippled stealth sequence that inspired me to do my current map. Maybe a bit heavy on scripted sequences in certain parts, but very well made and had me grinning all the way through. ..someone has made new fresh content for the legendary (and better than Quake1!)Quake2 !
best regards to you Musashi :) but there's heaps of good q2 stuff. But I havent got access to my q2 saved maps/episodes right now :)
Apparently power sphere was primed for coop...
'Light' which used the Awakening weapons mod was ikbase greatness. 'Prince of stroggos' wasn't as good but still memorable. 'Pax Imperia' had a Tronyn horde type vibe along with lots of Custom stuff. Forgetting loads of awesome maps, just remembering bits and pieces but the names escape me. >The weapon properties were not changed.
But the enemy stats were changed, right? >the secrets Oh. Damn dude, write about such stuff in the readme. Well, i certainly don't like when secrets are required to beat the map, maybe i'll give it another try on Medium after i'll quench my vanilla Q2 thirst. Thanks for the recommendation, appreciatin'. looking through my folder, favorites would be (alphabetical order):
1964 Echoes of the Past Castles of Stroggos 2 Castles of Stroggos 3 Citizen Abel 3 Citizen Abel 4 Dark Undergrowth Deaf, Dumb and Blind Last Day on Stroggos Light Love Story of the Prince of Stroggos Machine Reborn Monumental Misery Nightmare Orchards Powersphere Quest Premonition of Angron Se Wsi Testamentii Small Pile of Gibs (spogsp1) Space Odyssey 2 Space Odyssey 3 The Widening Gyre What The End is For And Musashi's pack also easily makes the list. Not SP, but DM, Gothic Resurrection is one of the best set of maps for Q2 ever made. Really if you haven't had the chance to check out these four maps, grab them somehow and have a wander around. It's pure awesomeness.
Ugh, posted too quickly.
Here you can download them... http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/maps/individual/ I believe it's the gr_dm 1 - 4 My archive has all four in a pak file. "Gothic Resurrection is a unique deathmatch experience, brought to you by The Freshteam. Four new environments each sharing a common theme and atmosphere throughout. These maps unluck some of the hidden visual potential of the quake 2 engine. The new textures and sounds combine to create an atmosphere like no other." Load up a couple Eraser Bots and off you go. If those downloads are not the correct ones for Gothic Resurrection, I have the pak file so I can see about uploading somewhere?
Yep ele-h-mic, 97/98/99/00 were the best years of video gaming for me. No matter how good games get now, graphically, they won't ever beat 97/98. Logging on to awoq/awoq2 and marvelling at the latest custom levels was awesome.
Gothic Resurrection was a nice pack. yogi, voodoo, kamarov, kaneada - of course they were going to be impressive with those mappers. Thanks a lot people, bookmarking this thread for some future Quake 2 fun.
PS: damn it feels good to use Quake 2 icon in the real Quake 2 thread. if you want I can list my complete folder of worthwhile q2 maps/mods, its a lot longer than what I posted above.
Probably best to do it in the general abuse thread though instead of this one, lets leave this for comments on musashi's pack. Here I've rated most q2 maps:
http://www.etherealhell.com/etherealhell/ratings/quake2.php Doesn't include my stuff and a few of the very last releases (by mark shan) and missions packs like zaero, juggernaut, oblivion. But everything else is pretty much there. No links will work though. Ah, I remember some of those maps :) Brendon Chung's ones were amongst the most original, especially Gravity Bone. Weird in a good way. That's prompted me to go and download them for playing again... found them here.
If anyone is interested, KyperTrast has uploaded a video of his run through SMD here. Good shooting and movement skills. !full! | School Girl Fucking In JamaicaFor a week in March or April, the entire island stops. Schoolgirls don their school colors, wave flags, and pack the National Stadium in Kingston. Jamaican school girls rock a stunning variety of hairstyles. From elaborate cornrows and box braids to beautifully defined natural curls and locs, hair is viewed as a canvas for creativity. Here is an inside look at the lifestyle and entertainment of a schoolgirl growing up in the land of wood and water. The Daily Rhythm: Uniforms, Devotions, and Discipline Cultural pride is massive, particularly around Jamaica Day and the JCDC Festival Queen competitions. Young women across parishes participate in these events, showcasing talent, cultural pride, and community commitment, as evidenced by the 2026 Miss Westmoreland Festival Queen contestants. Like teenagers globally, modern Jamaican schoolgirls are digital natives. However, their online presence is uniquely Jamaican. School Girl Fucking In Jamaica The Vibrant Rhythm of Youth: School Girl In Jamaica Lifestyle and Entertainment : There is a strong cultural emphasis on achievement; for example, high-performing students like Tiana Dinham gain national recognition for academic success. Fashion and Appearance And let's not forget the socks. In many Jamaican schools, the height of the socks and the fold at the top are subtle style statements. It’s a look that says, "I am here to learn, but I look good doing it." For a school girl in Jamaica, "Champs" is the equivalent of the Olympics. The lifestyle of a student-athlete is one of grueling training, but for the average student, it’s about the "vibes." The rivalry between schools creates a festive atmosphere that dominates the first quarter of the year, involving pep rallies, chanting, and immense school spirit. 4. Entertainment: Music, Dance, and "Links" For a week in March or April, the entire island stops The lifestyle and entertainment of a school girl in Jamaica are characterized by a vibrant blend of culture, education, and social experiences. While there are challenges to consider, there are also many opportunities for growth, development, and success. As Jamaica continues to evolve and grow, it's essential to support and empower school girls to reach their full potential and become the leaders of tomorrow. The school day universally begins with "Devotion." Students gather in the general assembly area to sing hymns, recite the national pledge, listen to Bible readings, and hear announcements from the principal. The collective harmony of hundreds of young voices singing traditional choruses creates a powerful, grounding sense of community. Lunchtime Rituals : While schools enforce rules against excessive cosmetics, many students find subtle ways to express themselves through trendy bags or carefully manicured hair (edge control). In conclusion, the lifestyle and entertainment of school girls in Jamaica are shaped by the island's rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant popular culture. From daily life to leisure activities and entertainment, school girls in Jamaica enjoy a unique and exciting experience. While there are challenges that need to be addressed, the spirit and enthusiasm of Jamaican school girls make them a joy to behold.

From elaborate cornrows and box braids to beautifully Education is highly revered in Jamaican society. For girls, their academic journey is a cornerstone of their daily routine, often characterized by a strong sense of pride and discipline. The Iconic Uniform During break and lunch, students rush to the tuck shop or vendors outside the school gates. Popular snacks include spicy beef patties wrapped in coco bread, banana chips, cheese tricks, and "bag juice" (sweet, flavored water frozen in a small plastic bag). Most Jamaican households are matriarchal and deeply religious. Sunday church service is a staple of the weekly routine, requiring a completely different outfit from the weekday school uniform. Girls are expected to help with household chores, such as cooking traditional Sunday dinners (rice and peas with chicken) and washing their own uniforms. Friendship and "Reasoning" How does a Jamaican school girl unwind? The answer is almost always rooted in music. Thanks erc.
Sounds like the crash might be due to the new countdown clock entity having issues with the v3.24 client - I'll have to do some further testing with it.
