This remaster came out just in time for me, I'd gotten really into Q2 just a few months ago. I'm loving it, a lot of small details have been added (and a few unnecessary dumb details but okay). Want to start mapping, possibly develop a mod/missionpack, and I'll probably do that for the remastered version after all. I did a few maps for OpenArena back when that was a thing... Q2 mapping is actually a lot more work than anything arena though, because of the story and progression (a.k.a. an assload of triggers).
But this goddamn berserker bullshit better get rolled back. It's retarded. Very basic gamedev common sense says, "Don't disrupt the player for no reason." You cannot avoid this faggot's dumb bullshit. I can hear the thought process in the head of the asshole who put this forward: "Well, the berserker has no weapons, but he has knockback, so he has to have more knockback." Hey dipshit: you've already got him run-and-punching and fulfilling his job of occupying and bullying a lot of space from the player. Having him gapclose and create THAT MUCH FUCKING KNOCKBACK is maximum retardation. Look at the last bit in this webm, christ. It's like the team just ran out of energy to fight this dev's changes and let this one pass though just to make him happy.
Bitching aside, I still think this remaster is a net gain.
