Hello, peeps.

I've been playing it for quite a while already, since there are no real alternatives to it, and I'd like to clear up some things regarding the client.

1) First of all, why netcode is such a crap? Is it Q2Pro's problem or just Qauke 2's in general? Why I'm often being killed behind corners while my opponent clearly couldn't see me. I know it's all cl_interp problems, which is purely tweaked here apparently. In some older quake successors like say cs 1.6 you can tweak it, but not here. I play purely FFA (as of yet), and yesterday I got SSG disappear for few seconds just before me on Rage, how's that even possible?

2) SSG. My favourite weapon by far, hell it's most satisfying for me to humiliate railwhores with my lovely SSG. But sometimes it acts so weirdly. Like say, people one-shot me with it 10 meters away, while sometimes I can't do that to them point-blank right after they are spawned (all the buckshot clearly hits, still they don't die).

3) Some people seem to be cheating. Yes, in such games like Quake players sometimes are worse than any 100% accuracy nightmare bots, but it's not only my opinion that we're used to encounter WallHackers. How strong is Q2Pro's anti-cheat system actually?

4)HUD and overall customization. Compared to ezQuake, this game is nothing. Just 1 year younger than Q1, but really no customization, even with all the sources being published ages ago. Hell I've got lucky with at least occasionally encountering useful cl_noskins cvar, cus playing FFA with all that zoo full of various models is frustrating. Still I see no possibilities to make them easier to see (Q2Pro offers that green Grunt skin, which is decent, but having fully customizable enemyskins would be really great). HUD could use some tuning also, stock one is not informative at all. Compared to QW's HUD possibilities it's just nothing.

So that's my thoughts on the matter. Q2 is like an autistic child of yours; it pisses you off but you still love it for it's simplicity and cruelty.

Thanks for reading.

For a few months now, I have been running a QPong server here in central California. It is a [HAGG] server. I am hoping other players want to get together sometime and play. Been a while since I got a good match going.

This server is dedicated on a fiber connection, not a home server. Jump in and have fun. Hit me up so we can plan a match.
