I don't hate Quake, I love Quake. Gay-Life being shit has nothing to do with Quake's greatness.

Get the fuck out, Ranger won canonically because he will NEVER STOP UNTIL HE GETS HOME.

I actually agree, I really don't care for it. I prefer the setting and general feel of Quake 1. Bad ass soundtrack though.

Hey, did you know that the guy who did the soundtrack for Quake 2, Sonic Mayhem, also did an alternate soundtrack for Quake 1? It was sending this in to Romero in 96 that got him the job doing Quake 2s soundtrack. It's called Methods of Destruction and only bits and pieces leaked for years and he was reluctant to talk about or release it because it was his first project and he was embarassed by it (it actually kicks ass but many artists are like this with early work). It eventually leaked, thanks to Romero leaked his copy through a friend, and Sonic Mayhem eventually relented after the fact and said he was cool with it being out there.

You can download it here:

Or the whole thing is on YouTube, this is the first track. (It's the only one that has voice samples like this also but I think it works):

Reznor's ost sucks ass and there was so much red tape because of his faggot label and management. Quake 2 has objectively the best soundtrack of the series and the only reason we even have it at all is because of the alternate Quake 1 soundtrack he sent in.

Reznor's soundtrack is completely out of character music of iD games both before and after Quake, and Sonic Mayhem's ost fits much better.

If you're not familiar, the guy who did the soundtrack for Quake 2, Sonic Mayhem, also did an alternate soundtrack for Quake 1. It was sending this in to Romero in 96 that got him the job doing Quake 2s soundtrack. It's called Methods of Destruction and only bits and pieces leaked for years and he was reluctant to talk about or release it because it was his first project and he was embarassed by it (it actually kicks ass but many artists are like this with early work). It eventually leaked, thanks to Romero leaked his copy through a friend, and Sonic Mayhem eventually relented after the fact and said he was cool with it being out there.

This soundtrack is more the style one would expect from iD at the time and is much better than Reznor's ambient soundtrack.

Can we add Sonic Mayhem's alternate Quake 1 soundtrack to the links in the OP?

Yeah, I desperately wish they would revisit the Quake 1 mythos. The Ranger Lore thread we have up shows I am clearly not the only one as well. I played the shit out of Q3A back in the day, we would play it all day in computer lab in school... but I wish it and Quake 2 had been called something else (a working title for Q2 was WOR, it didn't become an official Quake game till very late in development) because instead of Based Ranger and the Cthulu mythos, Quake is now synonymous for most people with either online competitive arena shooters or Stroggshit
