> way less custom maps for SP
There were two expansions and I think the major strength of Q2 was being so easy to run it multiplayer, interested parties had already gotten a taste of multiplay from Q1 and everyone else was hearing about multiplayer action in Q2 so its probably the first big example of an FPS designed for DM.
> In 1998 there was a local tech demonstration in my small town at the newly built civic center. They had a computer with Q2 running on it, software mode of course. But they had internet DM going on it, not SP.
The enemies in single player are alot less compelling than the ones in Q1 and that meant less impulse to make an SP map, also considering if you were going to map you were going to focus your effort on DM.

> also alot of RPGs especially pen&paper ones underplay the power of grenades too
the grenades in ReturnWolf were dangerous and caused alot of damage, but it was a tight radius, as if you were tossing single sticks of dynamite. I might not have cared if B.J. would've been able to throw them alot farther.
Games dont even pretend to be simulations let alone real life but the one thing that should have had limited range was the Panzerfaust. That thing is almost like a Q1 grenade launcher in real life with the way it rainbow arcs.

Also wasnt all that happy with how superfluous the guns made the Luger, and even the MP38. The Sten doing 10 points per bullet while the actual good guns only did 6, the cooldown wasnt even a detractor for using it.
> Also the scoped rifle can be used to kill supersoldiers, you get them pinned on a corner somewhere and just proceed to blow their armor off with it. But yet the unscoped rifle cant do good damage even if you do a headshot with it.
Also I couldnt figure out how to use the Tesla Gun. The lightning just sorta goes everywhere and doesnt hit any particular target. Near the end of the game I end up with an almost useless weapon fully stocked with ammo.
