Quake 2 done quick video

[m0n0LiTh0]

For those that haven't seen this b4 , thought i would pass along.... Q2DQ...

I never even played through the actual game.

Therefore, along with being lazy to noclip and analyze myself, I would like to see one of the many well versed 'vanilla' map players post a demo of all of the vanilla maps to show routes, secrets, etc etc.

I have spectated many a player but it is not the same as a true 'how to' run through  demo posting.

Preferably from actual vanilla server games.

I don't know who i expect to step up for this -- for truly i can think of a good reason for every player not to ---but maybe there are a few.

thx

I saw it a few months ago... It's one of the most amazing quake things I've ever seen.

it's pretty sweet but i think some parts were edited like around 18:25 for instance the door is locked and all the sudden he's through it. maybe i'm skeptical because of jealousy .

i wish he strafe jumped through long hallways...would actually be even quicker.

note that that is a conglomeration of different people trying to get the best times on each level

i'd still like to see a single person run the game that fast

yeah it's much less special when it's all edited :<

from the q2dq site: http://qdq.planetquake.gamespy.com/q2dq2.html

This is a run that completes Quake2 on Hard skill as fast as we could manage (well, without resorting to unrestricted bunny-hopping.)

It is much harder to record a run through Quake2 one demo at a time than it is to do the same for Quake, but we kept the continuity correct; this represents a proper run through the whole game.

QdQ haven't yet made a proper Quake2 movie, but Zarathustra Studios have put together a very good straight recam of the original run.

Please read the ever evolving FAQ about the run if you have any questions after watching; it includes a summary of all the tricks and strategies we used, so you may find that interesting in its own right.

they have links on the site for how they did it if anyones curious... its still a pretty badass accomplishment
