I hope they make the various planets different enough though.

By the way, the music is 65daysofstatic which I map to a lot. 

 

Do you know something I don't? 

It is here. Phone your Dad anyway. 

I can see angels dancing through the stars.., 

COME ON AND SLAM

AND WELCOME TO THE JAM 

Yoyoyoyooy0yoy0y so a while ago I put a video on my channel showcasing some of the best Half-Life 2 levels ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu7ekgo0-mk ) and am now starting work on a similar video for Quake.

Now, there are a lot of levels to pick from and I want to keep the video fairly short (3 minutes TOP) so I want to get some thoughts from everyone as to what levels I should showcase for the video.

Now, there are some obvious choices that don't really need mentioning, I am more after any lesser known but still awesome looking Quake levels.

Keep in mind that this is a "hype" video designed to get people playing Quake so the levels should first and foremost look awesome and make the viewer want to install Quake again!

I was toying with the idea of doing 1 level from each year that Quake has been out, but that would mean the first half of the video would consist of 1990's quality visuals which isn't really what I want to show here.

So, lay your wisdomes! 

for every map of every year

Ooooh. Huh. Well I guess I could supply one data point... here's a list of the SP maps I've felt compelled to take screenshots of for sharing on Steam. I wouldn't demand to see all of them on a Best Of list, but if some of these ring a bell or show up in other people's lists then maybe they are cool!

(all of sock's releases)
The Altar of Storms (Necros)
Conference of the Shamblers (skacky)
True Love Waits (Kandyman, in Zerstorer)
Blutsturtz (Kandyman, in Zerstorer)
puentaltrono (scragbait, in Travail)
tejido de cicatriz (distran, in Travail)
Ascending & Descending (negke)
Something Wicked This Way Comes (Tronyn, Tyrann, Necros)
For My Babies - Bin Dunne Gorne 2 (Mike Woodham)
Gloomier Keep (Kell)
For Love of Evil (Hrimfaxi)
Geophobia (Than)
honey (czg)
Arcanum (Tronyn, Pulsar, distrans)
The Anomaly 2: Water (Digs)
Unforgiven (Tronyn)

Other things come to mind but I'll have to get back to work... more posting later if my favorites haven't been covered by someone else. :-)

dm too? 

Thanks Johnny!

I think I have too many maps now :D Won't be enough time in the video to show them all so it comes down to what kind of cool transitions I can get between the levels. 

Yeah we trust you to narrow down the list to whatever works in your video! It will probably come down to things like "I've already got four base maps, should probably find a wizmet map", etc.

Just throwing stuff out there for consideration.

Other maps that came to mind: Red Slammer, Red 777, various ikspq, and... a bunch more Than maps. 

Definitely something by Tronyn! For example, a flythrough of this area from NSOE, Something Wicked and Arcanum. 

Maybe wickedstart.bsp from something wicked - amazing cyclopean architecture!

I had to load up that map because I didn't remember what it was!

Can't really use small speed maps though, not enough substance 

I never understood why people hated him. But then again I avoid social media - I only signed into facebook last year.

Good video.
