I'm playing through this on nightmare. In the mines area now, it's getting pretty tough. Every other enemy is a gunner or gladiator.

Oh Q1 was DEFINITIVELY scarier than Q2, both in terms of atmosphere and in monster design. I guess there's pic related, for what it's worth, in that it's an imposing opponent, but I don't think Q2 aimed for a scary or dark atmosphere like Doom or Q1

I like Quake 2 as fast paced shooter, I think it does that admirably and functionally, something like a 6, almost a 7 out of 10 game.

Something I would love is a mapset for Quake 1 which ramps up the amount of monsters, to the level of Doom and Doom 2, and I guess maybe a more faster paced and pumping rock soundtrack.

I guess also the weapon models from Deathmatch Clasic, because I thought they looked bitchin and properly replicated the feel of the original weapons with a better, cleaner look.

Really encapsulates the feeling of playing this game as a kid and letting yourself get immersed in the environment.

>Quake's level design was excellent just because it was small enough to maintain focus on combat while nonlinear enough to allow exploration, while Quake 2 was a forgettable mess

That motherfucker.

Who does he think he is? Talkin' shit about one of my greatest chidhood memories.

Quake motherfucking 2.

Quake 2

I'm going out the way I started. ;_;

Dude.
Go play Quake 2 right now.

The gameplay isn't as impressive as Quake's gameplay, but it's definitely something a FPS gamer should try at least once. That shit was my childhood defining game.

Aw shit, it's been a while since I've seen a Quake 2 thread on 4chan.

>Is there still a living community?

Not really, unfortunately. I mean, aside from the Tasty Spleen servers, pretty much everything else is dead. Including the modding community. It's pretty sad, really.
