Quake 2 Vortex RPG
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:15:12 AM »
Just wanted to do a shout out to foks who wants to GIB AI or players with RPG elements :) then vortex RPG is for you!.
The community is not very big and needs players! so hop on the servers and start kicking some a** :biggungrin: :rocketright: :rocketleft:.

Over all summary:

Vortex is a modification of Quake 2, a game published by Id Software. The first publicly
playable version of Vortex was released sometime in 1999, and has maintained a cult-
following thanks to continuous updates and improvements. It is a first-person shooter
(FPS) with role-playing game (RPG) elements.
 
The core element is character development. Players fight and kill each other in order to
gain experience points. After a certain number of points are accumulated, your character
will gain a level. When this happens, you are allotted ability and weapon points which
can be used to upgrade skills (abilities) or weapons. Some abilities are passive, meaning
you don’t have to do anything to benefit from them, while others are active and require
typing a command (or binding a key to the command) to activate.
 
With over 100 ability and weapon upgrades to choose from, there are plenty of
combinations possible to differentiate one character from another. While some games
lock abilities to certain classes, Vortex allows any class to upgrade any ability. The
classes do, however, allow specialization. Each class has abilities that can be upgraded
higher than non-class abilities. Finally, talent upgrades reward players who reach high
levels, making them even stronger.
