>invents realism in online fps
>blueprint for counterstrike, same team.
Imagine thinking these are good things

>>7076161

It did it well, too.

>>7076154
Action Quake 2 invented the blueprint but how convenient for Counter-Strike to take the blame for everything. As usual, Quake was the culprit all along.

>>7076267
You don't give all the credit to Van Gogh whenever someone paints something sad.
Counter Strike is what got popular. It's what gets the credit. So the story of history goes.

>>7076267
No literally some mappers and devs from AQ went on to make CS.

>>7076154
this was my go to game 99-01, miss those times

>What is GoldenEye 007 (1997)
>What is Rainbow Six (1998)

>>7076318
online fps so thats not goldeneye..

early online versions started 2 months before rainbow six.

It was the shit back then, anyone who was around and played will still put it in a solid top 5 of best games.

>>7076154
yes. i played it back in 2001 before they fucked it all up with later releases. now zoom away dipshit

>>7076364

The game never changed dumbass. Only bug fixes and server side features. Speaking of its still being developed today.

a dump of action movies for whoever was curious.

>>7076161
i'm with you but it's not CS's fault that people stopped playing arena fps. games like quake 3 actually take skill and practice, it was inevitable they would decline in popularity

>>7076431
neat, i love seeing what playing these games was like back in their prime. thanks anon

yeah brwon 3D tech demos were a mistake

>>7077497
*brown

>>7077481
Yeah just like people stopped playing chess because it's too hard. Debilitated boomer brain.

>>7077507
yeah, i'm sure people play chess and people play video games for the exact same reasons anon

What's wrong with quakefags?

>>7077521
They always start the Doom and Counter-Strike shitposting

>>7077521
we havent gotten a decent quake title since Q3TA and we all have massive blue balls. i played quake champions for a year i was so desperate

>>7076154
Action Quake 2 is amazing

>>7076267
You've never played AQ2 in your life.

>>7076154
>invents realism in online fps
That's not Delta Force.

>>7077560

The date to beat is july 1998. beta versions were active till 1.0 in november.

Blame for what? Killing Arena FPS?
There are a lot of reasons why those died and none of them have anything to do with Counter-Strike.
Hell, CS is still somewhat alive today by a stroke of luck. If QC and UT4 were actually finished and marketed they would be alive too., as there is still a market for a good DM/Instagib game.
Austistic duelfags blaming CS for the death of their genre are almost as hilarious as autistic shmupfags hating JRPG.

logic and reason are not allowed on this board anon

>>7076161
It was only a matter of time. FPS was always going to move in the direction of realism.

>>7078695
This.

*crack* *sip*

Ah, now THOSE were the days of modding.

>>7079081
Are the OOs in the logo supposed to be shotgun barrels? Because that's how I've always seen it.

>>7076154
Navy Seals came year earlier.

Same clique of people either way. I dont think it was multiplayer or popular though. Literally same weapon models in AQ

>>7076154
/vr/ server when?

>>7081705

Q2servers.com there’s plenty up

So for more back history it was a free mod for quake2. a standalone complete total conversion multiplayer only. People came out to make maps/assets for it.. in the hundreds. A massive community project worldwide. Theres like 800 maps, with 100 being legit high quality.

I have a client that was made by some guy in finland, where the game has had a regular game since 1998 still today. Its also had more features added to it I will upload it. It contains 20 years of this community project.

so all binds are remembered forever and reset if put manually in your autoexec.cfg.

The game is very manual and mechanical, check out the binds in the menu.

.pkz files auto load and can be unzipped if you want to check out the assets or map names.

Is it better than Action Half-Life?

>>7082667

Different game

>>7082667
In my opinion, yes. AQ2 is way faster paced as Q2's physics are insanely broken allowing you to skate off of any slope and fling yourself up ledges. One thing I would do with my brother was have us line up on a street with the sawn off shotguns and set it to fire both barrels and joust eachother.

>>7083108
Yeah there’s a q2 jump mod to exploit the physics but it’s really hard. There’s no team damage for jousting but the umm hand cannon will blast you. Other than that you’re a troll

>>7076161
fpbp
CS and AQ2 (if not Quake 2 itself) were the beginning of the end. Zoomers will pretend to know the shot claiming Half-Life ruined everything but it was Quake 2 and AQ2 which lent itself to CS. Save me, Romero.

Evading rangebans is bad alf

Looks like the Action Quake 2 nigggers are pissy lol.

>invents realism in online fps
lol wut? Maybe the weapons are based on real ones but the game itself has nothing to do with realism.

>>7083719

Yeah locational damage but the cartoon feel of it is actually hilarious

>>7083719

The physics were actually meant to be realism too but the devs got a virus and whiped out a chunk of the code. That and you can kick people 2-3 miles in the distance kind of takes away from realism id say.

>>7076431

thx
