Being in constant pain makes it really metal. It's part of the Quake aesthetic /s 

In Doom too. Come to think of it its really missing from Doom 4.

No pain sounds, no grimacing bloody portrait etc.

Weird, did they have a reason for this ?

I guess everyone needs to be a superhero like character or something. 

and the best reminder that the Quakeguy must be in constant pain from all the injuries he sustained

But that's what keeps him going. The indescribable, infinite pain, that continuously infuses every aspect of his body and mind. 

ooiOioiOiOioiio 

I've realized I was in a bad mood due to lack of sleep and other personal stuff. Disregard my previous comments. 

 

 

 

 

If I wore that thing you'd have to call me Cameltoe.

Don't even know what that's replying to, but I agree.

Probably cause it had "cock" in that filename.

This should work...

Strogg Empire is an mod in development for Quake 2. Currently, aims to make Quake 2 MP more attractive to modern audience (mostly grown on the Quake 3), adding a "hit-sound" for feedback, 125 HP on respawn, a quick weapons switch, announcer and other enhancements. In addition, there is a plan to add bots and small SP campaign in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Quake 2. In the end, it's planned to make it's own client for the mod to make possible "Project Relight" (HD lightmaps with normal mapping and specular attenuation for the whole game) which will be included with this mod at. Stay tuned!

Why is the rocket launcher white? 

 

They should make the controls more like Q1's :^) 

Lacks some punch in the beginning!

What features does this in-development mod actually include?? 

Well, looks like the announcer was dropped today! 

I wonder if most multi-player mods that go for non-realism sort-of end up being a carbon copy of quake 3 inherently. I mean, that game had a shit tonne of polish and logevity.

The draw to do "what x game did" is pretty strong.

I've been thinking of how I would implement a mp mod based on the noir mapjam theme and all I can think of is a TF / overwatch like game. Kinda sad. 

When it comes to design archetypes that work, it's really pretty limited on the macro scale. Even moreso in multiplayer, where it needs to be fun for all players rather than 1 player.

If I were to make a noir multiplayer mod, it'd be VIP, which is a rarely-done mode. One team has a player they need to protect, like a crime boss or dame or something, and the other team has to try and fight their way to them and take them down. I think that could be pretty fun, I don't know about a good fit for Quake though...
