Speaking Of Half-Life

#2883 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/12/22 09:41:30

Anyone ever played Half-Quake? I'm beginning to seriously consider installing Half-Life just to "play" it.

Rpg

do it!
it's a nice game you know :)

Oh Really?

#2885 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/12/22 12:47:28

Cool. Is it as frustrating as I think it is?

No No

#2886 posted by Vondur on 2003/12/22 14:44:54

there is storyline and stuff
monsters aren't that stoopid
and the weapons have nice sound!

Oh?

#2887 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/12/22 14:59:55

Indeed, nice. Thanks.

Make sure that you play both endings of Sweet Half-Life. The alternate one aboard the alien ship is quite nice, with some homages to 2001 abound.

anyone played it?

Not Me.

I believe Vondur said he liked it, But I'm wary to try it out... looks too much like a gimmick then a game.

3 Total servers on MP demo
and all of them lagged for me.
Mouse control was, odd.
Being used to Quake 1, 2, 3
and HL the mouse felt wierd.
Maybe it was the lag.
I gotta try it on a lan
and see how it plays,
but I didn't have anyone here to
play with me.

Hmm

#2892 posted by nonentity on 2003/12/23 06:29:51

Played it (XIII) on XBox only (and the PC demo). It looks cool, and the comic style bits are a nice touch, but I found the gameplay to be a bit too average most of the time.

It's not a bad game, but not really a great one either.

Wait till it's out on a budget release.

Interesting

1024^3 map contest (q3)

Some Good Work There

#2894 posted by starbuck on 2003/12/23 07:40:18

i might run that theme in an upcoming speedmap...

#2895 posted by - on 2003/12/23 08:25:19

1024^3 contest? how does it work?

I'm Assuming...

#2896 posted by Maj on 2003/12/23 08:46:07

...the level must fit in a 1024x1024x1024 box.

Think 'bonsai map'.

I hope all you guys have a really nice christmas.

#2898 posted by - on 2003/12/23 10:55:17

Maj: Ah, that's what I assumed it was too.

Starbuck: This wouldn't be a good theme for speedmapping. Imposes a limitation rather than suggesting creativity/theme.

Theme = limitation?

Cheers. And at the risk of sounding insincere, I'd like to say the same to you.

no, actually a restriction like this encourages a mapper to come up with something original. It isn't just a 'limitation', otherwise no one would base a contest on the idea. That is, unless you consider 100 brush maps uncreative, or geocomp maps unoriginal. It isn't as good an idea as either of those but it tries to get you to think in a different way than the norm, which is partly what speedmapping is about, to experiment and to explore new ideas and concepts.

either way, i wouldnt force anyone to adhere to the theme

Q2 Coop

#2904 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/12/23 19:44:59

So lately a few folks from #Terrafusion and I have been playing some Q1 and Q2 coop. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some Q2 maps, units, episodes, whatever, that are good for coop. (Note that we've already played Powersphere Quest 1.5 times already.)

Slightly Differant But,

#2905 posted by - on 2003/12/23 20:24:24

I'd be down with playing some QW tomorrow afternoon or the day or two after Christmas. I could even host a few small 2-4 person games on the Saturday Speedmaps.

Coop...

#2906 posted by xen on 2003/12/23 20:56:11

Lemme know if you've ever got a time planned for coop sessions... I'd definitely be game. Only ever played it once but really enjoyed it. As for maps.. I wouldn't mind giving SpoGsp1 a whirl :)

Never tried Q1 coop either I don't think... is there any extra kit that's needed for that?

Here's A Cool Christmas Present

After releasing GTA for free, Rockstar has now released ANOTHER of their old games for free. Cool shit.
