Comments
although i hated the idea, i HAD to fire it up as an id-fan.
never much a q2 MULTIPLAYER (played sp many, many times) guy, i still noticed that the physics and the feel are way different -> suckage
items+guns look horrible, nothing like the originals.
they should have used the original q1 weapon sounds, they roX0red.
levels are good, nice conversations.
graphics could have been 1000% better, but that's the damn hl engine (FUCK YOU for using THAT engine).
shotgun has no power at all and i only managed to rj once, and that on accident.
big suckage:

FIRST GAME EVAR!!!!!
there's no competition.
if i play that thing for 2-3 days, i can master all the servers out there.
that's bad.
a hardcore community (like the q2-community now) suck and a wussie community (*cough* cs *cough*) does, too.
afaik, cheaters can cheat in that mod too, or?
one big minus: when i played q1, i played it 640*480 software.
now, i play hl at 1024*768 d3d.
you get a totally different feeling with that.
weapons take only half the size of the screen they used to -> ass.
well, enough bitching.
i'll just stop playing it on the internet and wait for the next lan party.
until then ... some motocross madness 2 action!

if it had been an original mod i'm sure i wudve liked it.. but every inch reminds me of the quake and makes me wanna exit and load QuakeWorld. </rant>
Sniper Shot... (using that ugly ass white stick for a gun model... lol)
"MY LIVER!!"
It's a totally badass level.

1) Those player models suck bad. They're all pastel-colored and way too skinny.
2) Valve's netcode stinks for my connection. It made my 50 ping feel like 200. I couldn't hit shit.
3) Just imagine what they could have come up with if they'd done something new and creative instead of rehashing such an old game. What if, instead of making this pointless mod, they'd actually put these people to work on TF2 and got it out the door faster?

Couple of things I didn't like:
1. Weapon switching (I know there's a command to get rid of the weapons menu. I'll find it).
2. Can't get going fast, spin around & begin hopping backwards, maintaining my velocity while travelling backwards. That's HL for you though.
Ok, I'm retarded. Posted this in the "DMC Today" topic by mistake 1st. Sorry.

Although the RL is a bit more powerful than I remember.

The good: textures, lighting. Looks better than any attempt to date to recreate Q1 maps in Q2 or Q3. DM4 looks a beaute.
The ok: sounds are a bit on the wimpy side, but serviceable. Models aren't very exciting, and the corporate evil-doer in a suit is a joke (wtf is this, a Robert Palmer video or something?).
The bad: player movement seems sluggish compared to QW, rockets seem hesitant or slow -- don't know if this was my connection or not. The HUD just sucks.
I'll tell you what's needed. A stack of classic custom maps, starting with A2 and Bless to Kill.

Remeber back in the day when planetquake had that ugly design, and before quakespy became gamespy?
Damn. Just thinking of the software rendered textures in Quake 1 makes me want to cry...
Thinking about my team fortress clan does as well...
Maybe it's because my best gaming memories actually come from the days when I could play games on my computer, which is now almost 5 years old. I haven't really played anything new for 2 years.

I will play this for shits and giggles. Is it me or does the RL lack the punch it had in q1?
