Quake / Re: DM server needs some admin attention.

« Last post by Mr Blizzard on June 22, 2026, 01:30:12 AM »

It is kinda interesting that the players are mentioning it more often nowadays, and we would like better help with this.

It is equally interesting that the ones who are not playing anymore, are not wanting to put forth much effort once basic checks have been done.

I just get the impression that the admins are very busy with life etc. They don't have the time. It's understandable, but bad news particularly for the DM server. I'm not even certain they read the forum. I mainly focused on making short clips here of the cheating because as I mentioned before I don't think they have the time (let alone time to view demos).

I get it, it's an ancient game and most have moved on but the players (what's left of them), on the DM server are WELL aware there's no active admin. So this is the result: you get this guy who was so tired of losing, he decided to cheat to compensate. There are no repercussions. This is the opposite of what's happening right now with Elysium over there, where everyone is accusing him because the skill gap between him and the average player is enormous.

HERE in these clips there is someone who actually IS cheating. And it's sad to watch. So in the meantime all I can do is just continue adding clips here every time I see this loser on the server.

More clips from today:

#1 - Possibly botting. Then again, possibly not. With these two shots alone, it's kinda inconclusive. They are very snappy shots immediately after strafing into the line of sight, but it's a little harder to tell with railgun.

#2 - Looks a LOT more like bot behavior. When spec'ing for a bot, anytime the crosshair stays smoothly locked dead center when they're using a sustained fire hitscan weapon like a CG or MG, it's the ultimate tell.

In that second clip, aside from the obvious lock-on tracking you mentioned, you can see the bot is confused by the corpse. He's trying to fire at the player outside but instead the bot focuses on the corpse. He then tries to correct this by jumping outside to face the player, but since he's now standing on the corpse, the bot starts spinning out LOL. It's blatantly obvious imo.

1v1 and TDM Demos / Re: What are your favorite matches to rewatch today?

« Last post by XANA on June 20, 2026, 08:29:59 AM »

Speaking purely about 1v1 because I never got into teams that much; I don't really watch matches, but I think of individual games sometimes. I found myself gravitating towards players that had a very calm and relaxed playstyle but still managed to win. I really liked the idea of walking the entire game and winning. Those were always my favorite.

I watched isbjorn and Damiah a lot back then. There was and still is a really big fascination towards people with insanely fast and aggressive movement (I still play like that lole), and they were very passive by comparison, but were just as good. I really liked that at the time. Truthfully, I watched so many different demos from so many different players that they all kind of blended together. I had the most amount of demos from DaHanG, Damiah, isbjorn, Aone, zorre and blaizz though. They were just the best players that had the most amount of tournament demos at that point in time.

There was one game where Damiah joined up for a 4v1 as a joke and wound up steamrolling everyone, which was really funny. I can't seem to find the demo for it, which is unfortunate.

There are actually more games that I played personally that I think about, but it's hard to be objective about the quality of games that involve myself. I actually noticed a while back going through some of my older demos that I remember more games where something really funny or stupid happened, or where I hit some crazy insane shot than games where both me and my opponent play really well and are very close good games. That's kind of a shame but I imagine it's the same with most people.

Raskal was a machine.

I also like some old Memento Mori (NOR) matches from '99 like:

They felt like gods back then. They may look bad by today's standards but they played with low fps, ball mice, etc.

Cool man, have you checked out our discord server? Stop by if you haven’t:

http://discord.tastyspleen.net/

Brad/doze actually wasn’t big in the scene in 05 at all—until quakecon 05 that is. I never saw him playing in 03/04 really. Purri flew to America before qcon and stayed with doze, he spent a few weeks with him, and they lanned together practicing right up to the event. Doze hadn’t played q2 in some time.

As great of a player doze was it wasn’t really a surprise that he lost to purri.

These demos come to mind. These matches were a big deal in our community when they happened.

DaHanG v. PURRI - QuakeCon 2007 - ztn2dm3

DaHanG v. Damiah - NADL 2006 - ztn2dm2

That’s from my YT channel. I tried to upload the more relevant matches available to me from the USA scene(primarily q2 players.org and tastyspleen communities).

1v1 and TDM Demos / What are your favorite matches to rewatch today?

« Last post by Terbo on June 16, 2026, 09:00:03 AM »

I started Quake 2 back in 1999 on Heat.net... I spent a lot of time watching demos during my career.

Here are a few of my favorites to rewatch.

Lord Vader vs. Makavel (2nd match) - For some reason I was really influenced watching Lord Vader's map item control.

QuakeCon2005 GrandFinal: Purri vs Doze - At the time Doze was big in the US scene at the time (which was pretty much dead due to Q3) so it was a shock to see the result of this match.

Shub vs. Makaveli - Makaveli had such great style.

Polosatiy vs E8/SiD - Love ztn2dm2 and Polosatiy has nice movement.


Which are yours?

I agree first is sus, and second is "very interesting." I feel these chain cheaters when I am playing. You always know. It is like a laser. Also I have a feeling they are using nades/ nade launchers to get kills as you come around corners. Felt some really weird repetitive nade kills as well.
