From the authro of ch1sp1. 

Yes, another nice map.

I think I am going to pick-off some more between 2001 and 2005. But no need to worry, I shan't give a running commentary or flood the board with 'must-play-this' type messages.

However, should I really, really enjoy the map, I may try to spread some joy... 

Did the author submit a news post or what's the plan? 

Hey Mike if you have comments, that's what the board is for!

I particularly like seeing someone's take on older maps that I may have missed or forgotten. I kind of flop back and forth between whether I'm in the mood for a super-polished modern Quake map or a really crunchy 90s-style nostalgia trip. 

O.K. Guys, I told you I was new at this......so here it goes. I'm taking screen shots of my maps as some of you have requested, however, When I take the pics it saves it to a .tga file. Do I need to convert these files to a .jpg file? Also, were is my computer saving the .tga files? Sorry guys, but I told you I was new at this. Appreciate the help. And were should I send the files so you guys can view the maps?

Screenshots are in the folder above your maps folders.

What is even the point of spam posts if they don't have links for us to buy our Nba 2k17 Mt and Fifa 17 Coins from? Do they expect us to go out and get scammed by ourselves? 

i think the idea is first to increase the google rank of this page for those keywords, and then once it ranks high on the google search results, they would come in and add a URL to their website. 

These have no doubt been discussed countless times before, but as I just finished the final map of DoE I thought I might ask what people think of the two official expansions for Quake?

Personally, I think they're pretty okay, especially SoA. I felt like there were some pretty poor levels in DoE, and the alternate ammo system was kind of annoying, and made the player a bit overpowered...
SoA had its own problems though. I can't think of a single point at which the proximity grenade launcher would be useful.

And what about the level design? Considering the age, it's not the worst, but I do feel that it leaves a bit to be desired compared to the original game, at least in the earlier episodes.

Anyway, i'm interested to see what other people think. Now I can finally say i've beaten all of Quake! 

I can't think of a single point at which the proximity grenade launcher would be useful.

I guess the designers just got caught up in the "add gimmicky shit even if it's useless" fad.

Gremlins are another example from the same mission pack. If you disregard the cool factor of their hilariously ineffective unique abilities, you end up with a sort of an even slower pinky demon from Doom. 

HTH.

bulletholes lol.

SoA is overall very well done with some of the best level design of that era.

DoE is a largely mediocre effort with the occasionally decent level, and let down severely with utterly crap weapon upgrades and mostly rubbish new monsters. 

I used to like DoE overall. But I can't remember the levels now. Should probably replay both mission packs sometime.

What I do remember is that it has some questionable stylistic choices. Quake is different from Hexen, so cute Egyptian cliches don't work in it. Those wraith things look out of place for the same reason - wrong kind of fantasy.

I understand when I see such things in fan mods, but official releases should maintain a more cohesive vision. 

I just replayed the first episode of DoE so it was fresh in my mind, I played SoA not too long ago.

DoE is claustrophobic and feel somewhat "quakey". Something about the artwork in SoA feels like it doesn't fit well with quake.

Neither of them felt like "good" expansion packs. Even the titles should clue us on to that, they were "mission packs", there was nothing really ground-breaking about them. 

And they were made by third parties, not by id themselves. That should be a big-ass warning sign in and of itself. 

I enjoyed SOA and DOE a lot! There were not so much other levels available as now and I remember playing them with great pleasure.

The Gremlin that took my gun was the strangest part I can remember,
as the proxy mines, spikeballs and even a real dragon! Big wheels turning.
Comparing games from such a time ago with mapping nowadays goes a bit lame, I think.

And then there was Malice, with its Scuba, parachutes and velocity jumps.

I don't know about the artwork, but I thought the same about the levels.
