Func_Msgboard: Quake 2 Vanilla

Posted by Starshot2 on 2025/07/28 03:27:26

Was there really no score board shown at the end of every map complex in the original vanilla version, even tho the screen holds still until you click the mouse to continue (like in Quake1)? And did the developers really didn't patch this with one of the many OFFICIAL patches THEY released back then? Because it is really hard for me to believe that a well rounded company like id, would make such amateurish mistakes upon release and then not even fix it afterwards.

It's easy to forget in hindsight that at the time Quake 2 brought advancements in storytelling, so the lack of a scoreboard was likely a design choice to "de-gamify" the experience.
