Dr. Shadowborg's Hellsmash also rocks, but it doesn't count as old.
All of these (Perquake, Hellsmash, Malice) have better weapons than vanilla Quake. DOOM/II and Quake 2/Reckoning also have better weapons. The list could go on. It's the one thing an egoshooter has to get right - weapons that simply feel good to use (and are suitably effective). In this regard, Quake falls flat on its face. The rocket launcher is Quake's symbol precisely because it's the only effective weapon in the entire game. A shotgun that can't even kill a grunt? O_o If someone made a mod that substitutes a Malice-style pistol for Quake's SG, with unlimited ammo, I'd immediately switch and never look back. On top of that, I'd take the Perquake style double barrel over Quake's any day. That thing blows an ogre across the room, as it should. It is simply fun to use. Quake 2's assault shotgun is nothing special, but at least it gets the job done. But Quake's DBS? Punching nails into the wall is more entertaining... I also like a good rapid fire weapon in a game, one that feels suitably chaotic and cheesy while spewing forth its random stream of death. Malice's uzi, Hellsmash's assault rifle, Perquake's machine gun and Q2's chaingun all fit the bill better than Quake's nailguns. DOOM falls notably short in this regard, though. Its minigun does the job, but is just boring to use. Finally, I find tossing hand grenades more fun than using grenade launchers. Quake 2 takes the cake here, both for its superb hand grenades and its abominably boring grenade launcher. PHLUNK! *yawn* Qoetia has a relatively good Q1 version of hand grenades, the longer you "wind up" the further you can throw. They don't explode in your hand though, and they don't tick, which is a big minus. Weapons in a shooter should simply be *fun to use*. In other words, they should create the biggest ruckus possible, and hopefully look and sound cool. I even prefer Quake2's rocket launcher because of the sound (both the firing and the moving rockets sound *cry*). Not to mention the railgun. The thing even hums while you wield it, Quake's lightning gun never did that. Quake has some good weapon models, though. Most of them have a stylish simplicity. The artwork is generally one of Quake's strong points. Melee: Jedi Academy lightsaber
Sidearm: CS:S Desert Eagle Shottie: HL1 Light Rapid-fire: CS:S Mac10 Heavy Rapid-fire: AvP Smartgun Singleshot Accuracy: Quake2 Railgun Incendiary: Kingpin Flamethrower Rocket launcher: Quake 2 Throwable 1: Quake 2 Hand Grenade Throwable 2: HL1 Snark Novelty 1: HL2 Gravity Gun Novelty 2: Blood voodoo doll Heavy Weapon: Quake 1 Lightning Gun (complete with water discharge) Ridiculously overpowered behemoth of a gun: Doom BFG9000 I like it, but I've always felt that the amount of damage it does fails to match the way the actual gun looks and feels [i.e. really weighty]. If I were to change it I suppose I'd make it twice as powerful but only capable of holding enough ammo for one shot.
...the ut2k3 "devastator" which was a giant rocket that you navigated to its target in first-person view, while your avatar just stands there vulnerable. It's hard to be effective with, but at the same time, deadly, creates panic when people here the rocket sound, and leaves you easy pickings for anyone who knows where your avatar is. Plus it's fun to fly around.
its the redeemer :)
And yeah, it rocks! I think the submachine gun from FEAR should get an honourable mention, that thing felt relly meaty and tore the place up, while the heavy machinegun in that game felt like crap! o i c
Yeh, OK, this spawned that. Forgive me, it's late here. Just saw the last 2 posts and forgot reading the other posts this morning, assumed they were in wrong thread. Hey I totally thought Teezee was lon's email and I just sent it to a few ppl :P Oh well! Anyway hey so Ringmaster, LMO, Virus, H, Quad, Wag, Zen/Rook, Prophet, and a few others are on my aim. I am going to compile a list of who I have and email it or aim it to you. If you want it my sn is Elixxur (aim) and email is andrew.luna@gmail.com
Find me. -Evil I would say "google it"..
PS: I still have "something to do" for you. Please be aware I didn't forget, it is just a matter of finding some free time to look at... and it may happen soon as I'm on holidays ;) Please be patient... I google myself and got degoogled.
PS: don't. I apreciate your concern but I'm working on the map, so the download isn't valid anymore. Will ask you again in the future.thanks!
