I'd like to see a top Q2 1v1 player vs a good Lithium player on lithium server.

Might be a good attention getter.  PM me if interested in helping getting it going.

lithium players like to talk shit about how its harder to play with hook... but the way i see it, its much easier, all geographical limitations are instantly removed, things like upper position superiority disappear in an instant, so you can play less cautiously with less strategic moves

i dislike the hook with a passion for those reasons so ill never touch the mod, but im sure better players like ah or naymlis would kick ass easily in the mod given a few minutes to get used to the hook, just because they are good with sound cues and have great aim and will out smart you all the same

Interesting thought!  It's come up a few times that Lithium players and DM players [may] have a hell of a time adjusting vice-versa since different physics are involved (not to mention the hook).

One of the things I'd love to see is some Lith Railz play maybe every week at a scheduled time.  There's certainly a bunch of railers out there, and when you add on the "hook" which leads to the possibility of being railed from any direction, it gets interesting.  

If anyone wants to check it out, goto lithrailz, and bind (somekey) +hook

again... hook just eliminates strategic positioning i can see why people like it... but from a 1v1 players perspective that enjoys headgame and strategy, it really makes that part of the game a lot more shallow...

To each his own. 

Lithium is it's own beast with it's own strategy/physics, and gameplay can differ greatly from server-to-server since it's so configurable.  On server with relatively slow hook speed, the hook becomes only a tool to assist in movement, but ground skills remain quite important, amongst other things.  Then, of course, we have runes, which then adds to the strategy to defeat your opponent. 

For those that don't know what runes are - they're power-ups:

• Strength (Red) You inflict 2x damage
• Resist (Blue) You take 1/2 damage
• Haste (Yellow) You fire twice as fast
• Regen (Green) Your health regenerates slowly
• Vampire (Purple) You gain health for damage inflicted

The thing that time and time again keeps me out of lithium,  is the lack of straf jumping.  Surprised vae didn't bring that part up too

On a happier note,  nice addition to the "Keep Q2 Alive" parade 


Lith has great air battles,  neat hook hopping speed runs,  balanced runes (strength/resist literally)

If Kangix drops by tell him I said Hi!   He Loooooved lith but couldn't get enough people on

 Lith hook w/runes.  Played this mod almost exclusively in the early days of q2. Very hard to play. Totally diff game. Lots of fun!


Hookers unite! Love to see some semi organized gathering once a week or whatever.



It is crazy hard to resist temptation not to jump around the maps when you haven't used the hook in awhile. Also crazy hard to get used to the hook after you haven't used it in awhile. Combine with rune strategy and you have a diff game. A very fun game!


A pro hooker can beat any decent FFA player or TDM pro. Beat quite easily. Novice hook use is like not having the best strafe and jump movement in a TDM match for a tdm player. You are railbait,easy target etc. It's apples and oranges.
