When I played the IHV there was no visor model, the particle effects were different and the KM_Portal map had a different layout. Actually I liked the IHV gameflow a lot better than the retail, it was sorta like the Quake 2 gameplay IMO, the only thing that sucked was in Q3Test when you strafe up the stairs and it stops you. And they could easily have the same gameplay from the retail game with the early versions.

There is an image of the earlier version of the same map below, earlier than the leak (I think). You can tell it's not the leak, it's using the Quake 1 lava texture.

It never got the polish it needed either. Then when Fred Nilsson joined id Software he picked up the map, polished it and released it as free download. It was originally started as a homage to The Edge from Quake 2. _________________ Get mods & maps at Engines of Creation
