Quake2 will always have a very special place in my heart. The art design, the sound, the feel. I miss the old days.
I have the same feel
true that, my favorite Quake
I loved quake 2. No camping allowed! Lol
Same, had great times playing this game, probabaly part because Its the FPS that I competed at the highest level, shame I was not a little older and aware of these Q2 tournaments at the time. Nice to see this as I played the same maps would have been great to play against Thresh, I probably did under his other Aliases :)
@bongo155 Did you play Q2 WOD 7.51? you had speedrockets, granade launcher, streetsweeper, tesler etc. alot more weapon options and was the MOD of Q2 that I excelled at without it being overpowered. There were a select few who really challenged me at that time.
A 20 year old demo! Crazy!
This is so cool and strange at same time.
I never seen that duel before, but this bring some nostalgic feel, 98 when i only 4 yr old and watch my uncle playing quake 2 multiplayer.
I can remember how i am happy with little things, i can remember the good smells of cake from my grandma house, and while waiting for the coffee watching my uncle playing Quake.
My grandma gone and my uncle too...
Not wanting to be pessimistic, but I miss being so childish.
I did not give a damn about the opinion of others and I was happy with small things from day to day.
Now I kind of am a slave to what others think and I've literally been more unhappy than happy.
And idk why i commenting this in this video...
Some insomnia and probably drunk of "sleepless".
I'm curious what caused you to be "slave to other people's opinions".
You know, its normal to every person grownt experience.
When we are kids, you are like a full spontaneous, no ego, dgaf for other opinions and you do what you wanna do.
So, in pre adolescence you hear a lots of "no" "you cant" "this is idiot" "this is a dumb ideia" "impossivble" "never" by dads, brothers, familiars, friends, and thats made you feel wrong to do what you want, and made you think that you need to be perfect, no failure, better than others, and if you fail you gonna feel bad. Little by little you puts masks in yourself just to not feel wrong, to feed ego, and for others accept you.
And its because those dads, brothers, familiars and friends taught you that you has acceptance by doing what they need, and not what you want or need, so, inconsious you bringa this to every aspect in your life.
This is ego basically.
So, we born without ego, we gain a full ego in adolescence, and you remove along the years before 20yrs.
Im 22 yro, so i have a mediocre ego, nothing compared to 3 or 4 years back.
it's a phase of life.
I would actually consider that lack of ego, holding other people's opinions and wishes over yours.
That's why current tournaments should release demos. Otherwise the games could be lost forever.
I was reading the comments about memories and feelings with this game, before watch the video. And after less than 5 seconds watching it I realised how strong these feelings are in me too. This was my first fps and I used to play it with lots of friends. Sometimes deathmatches of 20 guys together, some tournaments and etc. I still playing fps these days but omg... This one, the movements, the way you learned every inch of the map, every jump and trick. How to shoot the rockets or the pleasure of don't miss a single shoot with the railgun, no matter how fast things were going... Nothing can compare to it. And I wish I could go back to those days and have a nice session playing nonstop the entire day.
They just re-released it on all platforms so you can relive the glory days
Do you remember playing it on dial up modem? You would shoot a rocket and it would delay for 3 seconds before it actually fired? You had to time it all out in your head.
10:00 is my favorite moment in FPS competitive gaming history. I first watched this from Thresh's POV (shortly after it happened in 1998). I was amazed that he actually knew where Immy was. Then I watched it from Immy's POV and realized that Thresh HIT HIM WITH THAT RAIL!
sound my friend. he heard him going that direction and he def knew he was most likely going for the rail which would put him up by where he was looking or he would be under it to the left if he decided to go that way. and alot of people on that map will peak middle out of that spot with the rail after grabbing it to get information because it provides you cover from the bottom half of middle. I'm pretty sure he just timed his shot or he saw that tiny piece of his body that peaked out for a second.
@@NVE I competed in FPS tournaments for years around this era (sounds like you did too). I had the best and biggest monitor available and a great system ($4000 computer in 1998) with a Voodoo 2 graphics card. I really didn't think he could see him with the technology then. But watching it on this high def you can briefly see Immortal just before Thresh fires the rail. Interesting. I guess that makes a bit less cool. What made it so cool is you can't tell that he hits him from Thresh's POV and it looks like he didn't. I had watched it a few times from Thresh's view and then saw it from Immortal's and that rail hitting just made it that much cooler (and the legend of Thresh that much bigger for me).
@@Trevdawg48 You can hear the damage from thresh's pov. Listen closely
@@oceanwaves83 yep. But I didn't hear that in 1998 when I first saw this.
it was at this point you press your key
bind p "say hehe :)"
or perhaps "say ROFLCOPTERS OMG SORRY NOT SORRY"
For the youngsters here and for historic interest - Back in the day I had 2x12mb Voodoo 2's (SLI cable) for this, enabling me to put the resolution to 1024x768 with smooth frame rates. In comparison 1x12mb Voodoo 2 would only allow up to 800x600 resolution, whereas adding the 2nd in SLI (via cable) allowed the picture to interlace together to increase the resolution and frame rate, each card would alternate each line - good times. The previous gen Voodoo 1 - the best brand name was Orchid Righteous and was a 4mb card allowed a resolution max of 640x480, but back then ('97-'98) it was breathtaking - consider that the PS1 console was still in its prime and the PS2 was not out for a couple of years....
You just made my day mate bringing back good memories from 1997.... I had a p200mmx, orchid righteous 4mb 3dfx and 16 mb of ram ... This looked the muts nuts on that rig it's funny tho back then resolution didn't matter so much it was about good frame rate and trying to keep the phone line free so your dialup didn't drop out .... Great times 200ping rollerball mouse !! Cheers man 👍
The jump from software render to gfx card was outstanding! Can't remember which Voodoo I had but could only afford 1 card. Still, it was magical!
i had a pIII 400mhz and a Hercules terminator 2x agp 8mb card in 98 til about late 2000. it was pretty good for q2 and quakeworld but i remember it kind of shitting the bed when counter-strike came out and my fps wasn't the greatest with it (never really tried half-life before that). i think i was only getting like 50fps in opengl mode. kind of weird since it was based off the quakeworld engine and i got a lot better fps on quake. maybe counter-strike just had better textures especially after retail 1.0 came out in 00 who knows. i just got into cs at the tail end of beta so i don't remember what i got before retail 1.0 came out after valve bought the mod. I'm sure valve hacked some new technologies into the engine too so that prob had an effect on fps too. i did have a sick ass sony trinitron from 96' that did 140hz refresh at 640x480 so it made it feel nice and smooth even at 50-60 fps still.
Got the voodoo 3.. was pretty sure.. that nvidia thing.. id buy stock in that thing damn.. its doing +free each time
Sure enough, a driver update cooked my card on their way out ? it overclocked 10% i had no idea. Was fine
For about 2 days.
I had a Elsa ERAZOR 3 with 32 MB at the end of the 90s.
I was 14 when this game was played and I do remember these games and it brings such a good nostalgic feeling to me but with sadness as well because it was so long ago returning to my childhood innocence.
Then your like 35+ now right?
@@craeb9561 37 but yeah 35 back then lol
@@sudstahgaming its nice to see that older people(i dont mean that 30+ is old!) still remember their gaming days :D

Started Quake 2 CTF on Heat.net back in 1998. And still playing Quakelive. 20 year veteran. Watching this certainly brings back memories.

Don't forget the "hehe"
HUH!
These guys were legends. I remember Immy randomly walking into the office depot I worked at back in the day, I was star struck LMAO. So many good memories of this game.
They still are.
Legends never die.
wow thank you for uploading this
It's weird to see a cybersport demo older than you.
This is awesome, it is great to look a demo 20 years old and see how these guys fight each other deceiving with noises, this is especially notorious at 8:35 when he shoots to cover the pick up of the rocket launcher (he fails to execute it) and the proceeds to drop down and jump in place to trick his enemy into thinking he left that spot, marvelous, that put a huge grin on my face.
I am not saying we don't see this nowadays but it is rarer.
Just play any game of Rapha, the currently reigning Quale champion and you'll see a lot pf trickery, mind games, trap-setting and so on.
That said, I was there when this was happening and even though I am sure it existed before Q2 as well - it sure felt new and mind-blowing at the time. :)
He didnt even shoot at 8:35? How do you know he wanted to shoot but failed, funny :D Btw, quake 2 has evolved hugely since this. Also at the time you posted. These 2 would get raped by pretty much anyone playing. So, you saying this stuff is rarer now, is not true. All the stuff they do are common now, even among the lowest ranked players.
In 1998 this was top play, since 2005 it is just bad. Low accuracy, very slow movement, bad tactics.
classic, simple, to the point, fast fps action right here. Quake 2, TFC and StarCraft days were the best.
Played this before the millenium with everybody from brother to grandma (nobody could beat my 60yo grandmother back then she was insane). We still have it stashed somewhere with our old ps1 oldest design, I guess its time to challenge her and beat her this time!
see if you can find some demos of grandma!
crazy af that in 2019 games are looking more and more like this, indie games of course, but the good shit never dies
Classic My heroes in Q2 days. but i rather watch the old Quake World games. I was good in Q2 and Q3 CTF and also played Quake World and that was the best game ever! require skills. well anyway i'm now 51 and i like to watch the old games. Not playing anymore :p
I wish I had started with QW. I played Q2 from 1998 until 2002 until I discovered QW. It literally blew my mind. So much faster, so much more skill required. There's still an active QW scene, I hope you are aware?
I wholly disagree that QW requires "more skill" -- look at q2 4v4 tdm: all the weap/ammo drops, position plays, team comms not to mention that q2 requires skill with -- let's count all the weaps -- hyper, rl, rg, cg, sg, gl and completely unique to q2 -- handgrenades. In fact, if you've seen any high-level 4v4 q2tdm play, you would know handgrenades can completely turn a 15min match around. Apples to oranges, like rat is to purri.
Have you ever seen a QW 4on4 match? Yes, I do agree that Q2's drop system adds SOME complexity. You have to realize how backwards Q2 team comms are, just watch a QW demo and you'll see what I mean.
I still say apples to oranges; just because your ups ceiling is higher doesn't mean more skill. Look at q2's rg delay, cg spinup delay, handgrenade timing -- hell even slower rl -- those timing elements add a magnitude of difficulty.
The other elephant in the room is the level of competition year in and year out that elevates the level of play, discovering glitches that result in enhanced gameplay (e.g. quake double jumps FIRST appeared in q2 point release 3.14 which revolutionized q2dm1 game, like doubling to mega, etc.)
Are you gonna tell me iC wasn't as skilled as a QW squad simply because iC was vq3? Or the Scandie/Polish 4v4teams rocking the NDML leagues for over 10 years strong weren't as skilled simply because they were q2?
While I was starstruck by watching LocKtar win during the last quakecon duel final, the real quake god was over in the q2 bracket EASILY taking home $5k final: [POL] David. David's reign over both the q2 duel and tdm leagues AND mastery using the FIVE primary weaps(and you NEED to use them) is astonishing.
I have no doubt about the motor skills muscle memory required in QW, but look at the sheer size of tdm maps in q2(dm8 warehouse) and imagine all the powerups, two different armors, shards and weap areas to control. Thank goodness q2 IS slower -- time to think&strategize. Rapha's brainy 'five steps ahead' applies perfectly.
I had been playing very high level Quake 2 before I moved to QW. I was on the same lan as one of the best Polish players ever to have played the game (HCK.Scooby) and I still claim that QW requires a shit ton more skill to master it.
I know this map so well.. Its like I lived another life.
it is a damn good duel map for q2 at least. not sure i'd wanna play a CPM or quakeworld duel on it though. maybe vq3 with osp. just like aerowalk is kind of an ass duel map on quake2 but its a great map on quakeworld and q3 cpm
Still Playing This Shit :D
What a great channel. Thanks for the uploads!
immortal and thresh, both are legends
I like how in in the first game the beginning of the match they are all stealthy and conserve ammo as much as possible, but near the end it just turns into a frag mess and a standard DM match.
they were clearly running outta time and just decided to settle things with the old ways
We should all reinstall quake 2 and keep it going. With todays hardware imagine how good this games will run now. And plus this games is easy as hell to mod.
RTX makes it look so funky and SAME !! but.. now not flat washed textures. Wow I forgot about that and the Celeron 300-A whoops my bad the 450-A every time for free. LOL
Then you fire the blaster and go what the fuck this is retro reversal wtf day :D its just so weird. I couldn't do it hahaha i played a little just to see a bit more about how the fancy almost real, realtime, RT... damn thats a slick trick and not many bugs in those new full support games, even early on with RTX driver #2 or something. I was pretty impressed.
I never uninstalled it - it's still on my drive now.
The good ole days! I feel old :(
just got remastered, lets go boys
HUA HUA HUA HUA HUA
Батька Нереал I was wondering is it the same HUAH as quake 1?

wow what an upload :D
so oldskool
This was a legendary match up. I remember watching this as a teenager
I got a question, can someone explain me how to install the High-res skins and textures? I tried but I can make work. It would be very appreciated it.
runs so smooth amazing
Can quietly run super fast with tons of guns and ammunitions, but can't resist to scream "HUH!" at each jump.
Ah memories. Too bad I'm not quick enough for that anymore.
How old are ya? Bc you always can play :D
@@craeb9561 I will play Quake 'till I fucking die. Bury me with it.
This is way more exciting to watch than some call of duty or fortnight match.
Don't put FN in the same convo as COD.... game has a way higher skill ceiling.. Quake is the king of shooters tho.
@@danielmiller9012 cringeeeeeee
@@SeltkirkTV Explain to me why COD pros got mopped on fortnite?
Quake 2 Deathmatch was always intense.
I loved playing online in those days. Returning to quake via Q3live and quake champions has been horrible. Like I have no skills anymore. I may not have been pro level but was decent. Now I’m old and I suck at it!
can someone please help me with q2 console? I want to be able to move and shoot as smoothly as my q3 config but I cant find any source with the console commands that I need. to change the enemy color, to be able to do smooth strafes, mouse config, etc... any help or links will be much appreciated.
The railgun model that you are using is not inside the weapons pack you linked. Where did you get if from ?
I think its in the Quake2XP packs quake2xp.sourceforge.net/
Thank you !
@no pun: same. Heat.net in '99 TDM/RA2
It's odd seeing that blue sky outside the Strogg base.
How to remove the inscription "running demo" in the KMQuake2 client?
I think is cl_demomessage "0" in the kmautoexec.cfg or kmq2config.cfg config files.
decebal01US thank you, it is help me.
I didn't own a good 3D card back then so these graphics would have completely blown me away in 1998.
I still have my 8Mb Voodoo2
What source port is this?
remember like today.. late 90s early 00s internet cafe and playing q1dm1 :D
Thresh, that's gotta be one of the coolest gamertags ever
Hey, that's the dude (Immortal) I bought a JG-ported Honda B18B head from.
Honestly. A remake of Quake 2 where everything is the same but all the levels are connected as one big ass map for an "open world quake 2" would be sick. And honestly. Hunting each other an a huge quake 2 map with these nice corridors would be amazing fun. Then give the match up to 32vs32 battles.
id made a few 64 player maps back in the day, two of them were based off a couple of the single player units. Those would slap for 32v32 matches, or 16v16v16v16!
Love Q2! It was a bit of a walk for Thresh. In the second map he had to shoot himself so he could pick up the RA!
That is very standard in all of Quake gaming.
Despair is:
Not using explosives to keep one's score non-negative.
Dennis Fonggg 💪💪
Also edge best map hands down and I remember when I did get highspeed boibe could touch me name was wheels not the scariest name but fez’s when I went from 250 to 25/30 I tore new asses like there was no tommorrow and I knew every jump in every map I spent hours mastering each one..... all the DPM maps were beast BFG face bomb ftw lol best game ever 🤘
Wasn't a huge fan of Q2 multiplayer. while it still had the movement speed, things like the weapon change speed, slow rockets, ladders, air movement etc made it far less intense than Q1. Enjoy watching Thresh though - he was so good at positional control.
Umm there wasn't anything better at the time.
When q3 came out I remember staying on q2 for a long time because q2 was more tactical while q3 deathmatch was both physically and mentally draining.
Our local lan clubs largely stayed on q2 and CS.
played on a 233 mhz mmx, a 4mb video card joined via a cable to a diamond monster 12 mb card, 64mb of ram with a massive big foot 2 gb hard drive. A sound blaster, 3 button ball mouse and a 56k modem. gaming was good. .
if we and youtube live that much, we will be able to watch this in 2050 at the age 60+ for most of the us.
so I am saluting also those who are watching in 2050. we loved this game back in our days.
CZcams probably won't. Unless it gets freed from the slimy hands of Big Tech, because the war on Big Tech is gaining momentum.
"where am i" what a badass moment. and that "there" shortly after
Феррари в 16 - норм. Я только Celeron смог выиграть в Варик ^^ В США конечно условия будут получше ^^
Amazing vid, good HD textures (tho I hate the HD textures pack you use for Q3/QL demos, I think the vanilla QL textures are way better).
Looks much better than vanilla Quake 2. What mod is it?
Quake 2 Vanilla
The art style reminds me of Half-Life, which is a good thing! Quake 1 was on some Lovecraftian dungeon crawling which is excellent too, Quake 2 was pure sci-fi.
Quake 2 done quick was my first FPS speedrun experiences.
Holy shit i was like.. k there goes another year. This was.. i think AFTER "Rocket Olympics" omg who are these people will they marry me omg this mod omg omg we are all losing our minds here in lil ol STRAYA
Does this guy still game?
WTF, Thresh?
Like, Dennis Fong?
No way..... Yeah it's him, wild. Didn't know he played Q2, especially in 2018.
This map is not Q3DM3, it's Q2DM3
You are correct. Changed it in the description.
best q2 duel map :)
@@stebrown7939 I never really liked maps with lava or acid. I would jump in that shit too often because I was jumping around like a monkey hitting flickrails. Q2DM1 was and still is the best map ever in my opinion :D
How is the graphics so good? What kind of mod is this?
Plain vanilla q2 as far as I can tell. Just recorded at a decent resolution. (Edit: maybe not entirely, maybe effects like blood and explosions and rocket trails have had subtle upgrades)
@@matthewv789
Those blood effects upon getting hit are definitely not vanilla.
@@Amadeus_Eisenberg You could be right, maybe explosions and rocket trails are a little upgraded too. It just looks pretty straightforward and true to the original overall and it’s been so long that I forget what it really looked like.
guys, the graphix are from todays pc. it is demo file opened on moded Q2 and replayed on max ress. idk about RTX here, but might be.
Can i use high res skins for single player too ? İs it work
Yes you can and you can even play multiplayer with them, if you don't use the high-res weapons .
Great, thanx :thumpup:

When i reach that video, i was imagin that it will be usual for me. My best map was q2dm1 (the Edge) but frug pipe (ohh). First memories was about playing that game wo 3D card (after it was with Vodoo 2) guess am right. I remember how many times we played to know about each respown of that game, ammo and weapons, to know the sounds are were located and how faster to come over it (even to jump form the lift button to second floor, jump to middle of circle in 2nd floor, and oh that railgun. It was nice, we like it, we played in LAN and played at internet, get tournoments and has own setup with exect from file jeyboard, own mouses and so on. First time to play with mouse and use sensitivity, undertanding that rocket launcher not always best solution, with one shout of railgun become real professionals (as well if you can jump to the edge from small evelator at q2dm1) - you know what at telling about)))) just if you have same memories, please like comment, so i know am not only one at this planet.
Quake 2 online reminds me the Quake's 4 online gameplay
quake 2 was my favorite
Yep, Quake was a good game.
pretty impressive
HOOOH
good job
Best game ever this is why it’s all about quake1 was beast but when u could manipulate your jumping on this one well that opened a whole new door of evading damage and pulling off some pretty cool moves my nickname was wheels when I first started on this game i remember when I first started I’m from Newfoundland Canada and we are behind on times with the tech so I had the 28,8 modem against so many low ping people but I had this game mastered so much from playing so much that even with a 250 ping I had the timing so good I could keep up with the low ping guys anyone who wants to try this game
Should get vortex mod though nice rpg with bosses and a lot of classes and diff abilities
Periods. Use them.
fuck yeah
2019?
Crazy when you consider the mice they were using were shite
i believe the old mice were better.The connection of the ball with the surface was way more easy to feel and swing and shoot with the rail gun imo.
@@kuramiian im not sure thats really true, or we would be using it for gaming still to this day?: but i must say they were not that bad they just had their own muscle memory
@@zogrush I think the ball track mouse is able to be swinged faster with varying sensitivity depending on the swing and the optical once just can't do that,maybe that's what it is.
Indeed. I still remember my old mice. I loved my pilot ps/2, but man those things were glitchy as hell. I hated cleaning those things out. Now the newer mice don't have the same tracking issues as before. I still remember my old microsoft intellimouse optical being a piece of crap at lower sensitivity.
Thresh's rockets were always incredible.
Can you start uploading CS 1.6 demo's? I love Quake but CS is still in my heart.
We play this in highschool 4 players zero gravity mainframe...
You can play this game for free online. Check out Quake 2 Starter. People still play it, it's still fun.
Mentioned in the description :)
Best game ever
It's amazing how the gaming style had evolved, they move so slowly by today's standards.
sadly, quake 2 was slow even by 1997 standards, and it caused a huge playerbase split - many player were still on Q1 because it was faster and harder. their aiming speed, prediction and everything is on par with modern gaming, specially if you consider that they used ball mice which were around 200-300 modern DPI
No way. I used ball mice. It was very smooth.
I also did, but the resolutions kinda smoothed it out. Now go and try out 1200dpi with 1024x768.. 1600x1200 needed sensitivity to be aburdly high ingame for those twitch railgun shots on a standard desk.
I always used low-sense because I don't need 360 noscope. So modern non-gaming mouses with 800 dpi are crap for gaming. Good old ball mouse was okay, especially while increasing PS/2 port frequency up to 100Hz or 200Hz.
Also I don't understand why you are saying that dpi are connected with rendering resolution... It is FOV that matters in 3D, not rendering resolution.
honestly, I find most of todays games pretty slow when compared to the golden age of arena games between 1998-2004.
The Frag Pipe is like a giant gimmick. It seems like the inspiration for Elder. I hated that map.
HUH
I hated that first map. I was more of an Edge player. Anyone else play at a high level on TEN? My handle was Nemesis.
crazy to think that Thresh made the WASD thing popular...
Ya and WASD is actually a terrible and inefficient use of your hand for movement.

Still Esport.
is this a tournament where carmack's ferrari was the prize?
It was a Quake1 tournament, here is the demo-video: czcams.com/video/rApd8Jtw1s0/video.html
That was the Red Annihilation tournament. Thresh vs Entropy on Q1 E1M2.
Man.... I remember playing Thresh on an OG Road Runner server literally like... 18,19,20??? years ago? 1v1. : O
I lost 1-2 but I did well. Thresh's mainstay was his ability to time re-spawns and circuited the power-ups.
I will tell you that you were much better when I played you, Thresh :) But this isn't your map anyways is it :) almmost 200+ health, with full armor and overshield - I will tell you that full chain gun ammo and a full backpack isn't enough to take all that away even if you hit the person with nearly every round!!!
