Nice, this is equivalent to Doom's "No rest for the living" 

One could say that. 

I like maps with the classic Quake feel :-).

Also it sounds like Machine Games (or at least the level designers :-P) will know how to make a good Quake SP if they get to work on that :-)

(although i wonder how they'll emotionalize Quakeguy :-P)

I haven't finished it yet though, i died on the crushing ceiling. I'll try it again later. 

pure oldskool sexiness.
i liked fast and fun to play levels with relatively easy secrets.

czg's boss rocks! 

What a great surprise! This pack was excellent fun, and a worthy celebration in my opinion. I enjoyed the varying styles of maps, and almost never got lost in the levels!

This is somehow reminiscent of the terra release! Unexpected but most welcome episode in classical style.

I recorded my first playthrough on easy skill. Died a couple of times. In particular on e5m7, from traps, insta-evisceration, etc.

DirectQ, protocol 666. I have post-processed the demo to keep playing over level changes. DirectQ bugged out on e5end so I had to restart from a save game.

Hmmm I'l have to play this. I'll need something to cheer me up a bit for a few moments after waking up friday morning to learn that my beloved country just cackled like a crazed loon, raised a gun to its head, and pulled the trigger. 

Nice one. 

DOPA = Dimension of the past. 

 

One thing I forgot to mention: some of the shootable buttons seem to have too much health. They need to be shot repeatedly before they activate. 

21 sec easy run on e5m2

I'm not Daz so don't expect the same level of lucid thoughts. But the map pack was great fun!

I have no idea how to 

Out of curiosity, does anyone know which editor they used to map this? I assume GtkRadiant, QERadiant, or QuArK.

Some high quality brush work here in many places. 

It was radiant. Seems to be a favourite for industry vets. 

 

Confirmed by looking at the worldspawn, it's Worldcraft 3.3+Quake Adapter package.

@negke: how did you know what editor was used? 

This is very cool! Just played 2 levels so far. 

Played 4 maps... only at the moment... basically what others said, and definitely the hardest Quake maps I ever played (there are cramped areas in which there are too many monters IMHO.. anyway, godmode helped to pass ;) )... Definitely could have been a 5th episode without any problem...

Little pleasure bonus: played the map with Mick Gordon music, that made a perfect moment :P 

Was a fun treat when I got home! Very nicely done, felt professional and had smooth gameplay throughout.

Secrets were a bit on the easy side but that's not entirely a bad thing. Good quad runs and the traps are too quick to punish.

Still, the one trap where there are zombies scattered throughout was quite a ride! 

Nice, polished old school romp -- and I have only finished the first two maps!!!

+1 to these guys creating the next Quake SP experience! 

Up to level 6 or so, but this is really good.

There's a real authentic purity of quakey level design here - the build quality is semi-modern, but the layout and gameplay is proper authentic oldskool quake - it's like the author hasn't been corrupted by a decade of playing 400-monster megamaps - it's just proper good ol' meat and potatoes quake. It really does feel like an official add-on to the game.
