Any of you geeks play Quake 2 deathmatch? (Hardcore geek thread)

(since i play instagib and UT instead of quake this is kind of pointless to argue about)
in UT there is a whole added element to the game which is known as "dodge." double tapping strafe left, strafe right, forward, or backwards will make you flip a few feet over whichever direction you are trying to. this is great for popping around corners and laying down the law before the other guy even realizes what happens. and with instagib there's no rocket jumping going on. but yeah when i played with full weapons i was decent at it. UT also has no grappling hook which was always fun for sniping on quake. you all should download the UT demo and play that...i played quake for a long time and UT just blew the mofo away. colors aren't quite as dark and dreary - the levels are all bright and colorful, and you can go on killing sprees. your sprees get announced to everyone else in the game, so if you whoop as like you say you do, it's even more of an in your face type deal.

5 kills in a row - killing spree
10 - rampage
15 - dominating
20 - unstoppable
25 - godlike

Well, I've downloaded a TON of levels for us. We usually keep the kill limit between 6 and 10, just to keep the levels constantly changing. Every now and then, I'll fuck em up and win the level in under a minute. That's always fun. I've even thrown a couple shutouts. I hit the kill limit before the morons even have time to get 1 kill. Harder to do when handicapping is on.

Actually, I just downloaded 20something new levels yesterday.

I'd love to get a different game, but like I said, we only have standard PCs with 700 something MHz chips. And no one wants to spend the money on a new game, especially since we have so many levels for this one.

Should play Counter-Strike...Realistic weapons and damage. If you're good you can frustrate the fuck out of your co-workers.

Counterstrike is definitely a better game. I used to play Q2 awhile back it is still a good game.

Paulos- whats your screenname? I havnt played in 6 months but I played last night. Forgot how great it is as a time waster.

Counter-Strike kicks ass. A group of us at work play everday.

"Thrashmunky", I haven't been playing lately but I usually play on "Homelan Stronger than All" which runs Cheating-Death so there usually isn't a bunch of wallhacking faggots.

You need to break out Q2 CTF out there! Now that's a great game. I used to play Q2 deathmatch, I was pretty good. But I got bored of the 1 on 1 and I liked team work alot better. But man you gotta use mouse look! It's the only way to rocket jump.

As for Counter-Strike it's a much better game, My clan and I were ranked #12 on OGL last year (WhoreMuffins [WM] ) until the cheating became unbearable, then we retired. I'm waiting for 1.4 to be released , then I'll start playing it.

Q2 software - ugh... You poor bastard! Get an old voodoo card or something! That will give you an advantage over everyone (higher FPS)
