Half Life 1

mod you wont find many, superhot quake is neat tho

maps is where is at, check quaddicted and perusue the catalog

The Hookshot and Xena's Chakram where fun

Hey do any of you guys have practice in playing mods on quake 4? I've been trying to setup the False Dawn Campaign but are having trouble.

Nvm I figured it out.

The only correct answer.

Jokes aside, Quake's more known for map packs rather than for total conversions, so be specific. In case you're looking for the former, there's just so much stuff to be able to choose something to recommend. Just check Quaddicted for yourself. The obvious stuff you should try is shit like Honey, The Altar of Storms and Beyond Belief besides the obvious Arcane Dimensions.

Ceremonial Circles by czg is also a great and very tough map.

My top 4 Quake maps, in no order would be:

The Ogre Citadel - John Romero

Metal Monstrosity (original, not AD version) - Sock

Ceremonial Circles - czg

Fallen from Grace - Sock

Beyond Belief by Matthias Worch and The Lost Levels by Gotshun are also great episodic map sets.

Navy Seals, from which counterstrike and all modern shooters derive from.

You shitty kids picked up Call of Duty and found nothing remarkable, about taking cover and killing people in two shot: 'because everyone does so DUH!'. Instead the first players of Navy Seal were blown away by the change in pacing and increased realism.

You cannot appreciate something, without the awareness of how much it breaks from everything previous.

Favorites in order:

Threewave CTF

Clan Arena

Rocket Arena

Team Fortress

Man, I'm playing quake at hardest difficulty and it sucks. I don't get the appeal at all. It seems to me it's just famous for being the first full-poly fps and having been made by the doom people.

Not sure about carts but there's this whole Rally series of mods that started with Quake and later continued with Half-Life, Quake III, etc.

Can someone tell me I'm an idiot and correct me? I want to be educated.

Sure, the appeal is the dungeon like levels with each enemy encounter having a mechanical feel to it, where it can be parted out and engaged with on a step by step level of prioritization. It's a game about seeing there's ogres up high and seeing the fiends below ambush you, so you quickly swap to your SNG or RL/GL and knock out the fiends while you dance around the grenades being lobbed at you. It's about navigating traps and castles and getting sucked into the atmosphere of a world trying to kill you in every way, with chunks of blood and gore flying in every direction, dodging attacks and getting those incredibly satisfying quad kill streaks.

That's the best way to describe it: Quake is mechanical. Each fight feels almost like a puzzle and you can piece out most engagements in such a way that is incredibly satisfying. Basically the essence of a shooter distilled into a real fine set of levels.

Does anyone have the glitch with quake champions where the game won’t start. It gets to the loading screen before the menu then just stops at loading and does nothing. How the fuck do I fix this shit? Plebbit is full of people with this problem and no one knows how to fix it

Nightmare does kinda sucks because it just makes all the enemies shoot/hit faster. Try just Hard instead.

>all these maps

any enemy/weapon/total conversion mods?
