Back after many years

[DeanRW]

Well Quake2 Enhanced brought the fever back. I have not played the regular q2 in 10-15 years. What client is used now to play online? Is it still r1q2 with anticheat? If so where can I find them?

Welcome back! I remember you

We have a quake2 starter at http://q2s.tastyspleen.net
The client in the download is a little out of date, if you want to update it you can hit up https://skuller.net/q2pro/

Welcome back. I certainly remember you, we used to play on railz and vanilla back in the day. I forget which aliases you used to use though.

Very few of us are still using r1q2 anymore (I still do - although I almost never play anymore). Most folks are using q2pro, I guess because maybe it's a little more tweakable and has a few extra features.

So I did a search and found out you guys all know about the weirdo 888 also. I found out he doesn't like me and wrote about me in his Blog. It's funny he is an expert about dealing with me as when I enter a server he is in, he "moves to the sidelines" LOL

"In the 888 Academy, you will learn tactics and secrets that make you thrive in competitive matches against annoying players such as Dean. Many find Dean annoying because he uses the PowerShield and RailGun camps players. Ya, that can prove to be nuisanic. Here is a free nugget of truth (of many you will learn at the 888 Academy). What kills the PowerShield fast is the HyperBlaster and/or BFG because they are powered by cells (like the PS). Howbeit, the most effective use of the BFG (in this case) is a direct hit, as you can see with 888 on Tool and Tool's attempt with the PS. You can see how the HyperBlaster might give you a higher chance of success when breaking through a PowerShield. Furthermore, just block a player's (like Dean) capability of getting the RailGun and he will fold. Dean mainly uses that weapon, which does not make him a well-rounded enough player. Kind of like a one-trick pony. Seen it all before. So there's that. 888 is fluent in several weapons, which makes him more dangerous and proven to be Deadly Master of the Quake Arts. Look below at 888's many weapon proficiency:"
