Quake / Re: Quake 2 remastered discussion - news and rumors

Are we anywhere near settling on names for Quake 2 in this old/new naming paradigm we're in now?

Old Q2: Q2 Classic / Q2Or
New Q2: Q2Re

I'm very concerned about multiplayer in the remaster version.

It seems that you can only do 3 things:

• Multiplayer with Steam's network
• LAN on your own network (No chance to put any IP)
• Local with shared screen

If you try to use connect command through console, it will show you the following:

Code: [Select]

note: command deprecated, use kexmultiplayer command instead
usage: connect <server>
It seems that it doesn't contain anything that would be useful for making private servers.
Classic Q2 will not die, Remastered Q2 would probably be cannibalised for private servers like those on tastyspleen.

EDIT
Apparently it should be easy to use old mods or adapt them, the new Q2 Remaster seems to runs on top of old Q2, mostly because the models folder is in the old /baseq2 and not in /rerelease/baseq2
