(Bloodborne boss spoilers)

Finally killed this guy after 6 days of trying! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTu4aGdOU0U

Seriously, by the time I got good enough to kill him I could practice fighting him in my sleep because I knew all the attack timings so well :P

Fuuuuuuck this game is so good :o 

what an awesome encounter! 

 

Anyone know some great custom Q2 levels? 

Google's car is a good test for modern AI.
But I for one, will never be getting in the car with it.. though i think it's probably better than the average asian backpacker driving around our country town. Scary.

Don't know if this helps...? 

For anyone just trying to find stuff (rather than looking for specific recommendations), https://www.gog.com/forum/quake_series/quake_2_single_player_pack could be useful. Haven't tried that myself, just saw it posted recently. 

There wasn't a lot that really impressed me in the Q2 mapping scene, perhaps because I didn't like the guns and enemies as much as Q1. But, these stand out in my memory:

Powersphere Quest -- impressive visuals, 5-level hub, seems to be tuned for coop so the combats are ridiculous and I had to cheat to play it, but worth it just for the layout and visuals.

SPOGSP1 -- another impressive looking level, lots of great brushwork by one of the guys who figured out how to do curves really well in radiant. 

THIS MAP IS GOD FUN

I agree, Spogsp1 was easily one of the best user made maps for any of the id games.

I know there were other decent Quake 2 maps. I played almost one that was released, but I've played very little Q2 in the last 10 years, so I can't remember the names off the top of my head. 

I played almost every one that was released


(edit button needed badly) 

That's interesting because I played almost one. 

My Quake 2 folder is over 2 GB. I know a lot of that is DM maps, but there's a bunch of SP maps also. 

Is Quake 2's Marcher Fortress. Unfortunately, it did not inspire people in the same way as Marcher did. 

Premonition of Angron
Monumental Misery
Back at the Front
Castles of Stroggos 3
Dark Undergrowth

Much more I'm forgetting.

Would anyone be interested in a Quake 2 SP map jam?
I'm kicking around the idea of running one later in the year... 

The only custom map that really sticks in my mind for Q2 was Spogsp1. The curved geo was absolutely insane. That guy was a magician :) 

could be interesting. We(ionous and eric and 5th aand me) had that idea coming up while watching twitchstreams lately.
We need a good wad to agree on though, and the few base enemies in q1 almost demand a mod to choose too. cough cough, damn coughes.

Curves, i have them like beyonce btw. 

Spogsp1
The Widening Gyre
Premonition of Angron
Castles of Stroggos 2
Castles of Stroggos 3
Dark Undergrowth

and the most recent one Slight Mechanical Destruction. 

Quake2.wad, duh! 

 

It shouldn't have been called Quake 2. Strogg Boppin would have been a better name
