Yeah but lets wait and see if its practical.

Just watched the movie of the duel on the q2dm1 remake. Things i noticed:

- those guys both suck. :icon30:

- the footstep sounds are annoying, particularly when the player makes small moves/stops/starts running, changes direction. When he's moving forward and adds strafe, it's like an extra set of feet starts making footsteps. Imagine how it would sound when dodging or moving in small cirlces. :icon7: Hopefully it will be possible to disable them (like dmflags 32) on a server.

- the RL seems ok, perhaps the rockets are only a slight tad slower than in Q3.

- the Hyperblaster makes a LOT of noise and sounds more like a heavy machine gun. It seems to be more useful than the one in Q2 though (fast projectiles).

- i like the wireframes that indicate ammo box spawn places.

- the HUD seems reasonably unobtrusive.

- most of the weapon model get much too close to the crosshair. At least with the fov used in the movie.

- LG ammo is no longer called lightning in a box, but 'batteries'.

I see, did u try g_greenlight 0 or sv_disablepokerhat 1, like MKJ said.

yeah, both commands come up with "unknown command".

the rockets are the exact same speed as quake 3

the math is the same

it's an optical illusion if they look slower to you

You dont liek? I like the fact that it doesn't have a box around/behind it like in Q3.

[Neotic]

Seems very bland to me.

Why Q4 rocks so hard: rockets and nades are teleportable!

And they are affected by jumppads too.
