There's a definite reason the majority of the Vortex community are the same people who have been playing it for years. I've been playing it on and off since about 2001 or 2002 and I still have a ton of fun playing it. If you have a copy of Quake 2 and an anticheat supported client (http://www.antiche.at), definitely give it a shot. Honestly there really isn't any other game like it.

Here's a video of the mod in Player versus Monster mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4weiRU0M ... re=related . That tank that's fucking shit up is a boss that shows up in PvM when there are enough players on. It gives alot of exp if you manage to kill it.

You can find some information about the mod from its website: http://vortex.planetquake.gamespy.com/wiki

You really just have to give it maybe 30 minute when there are a few players and the server's in PvP mode. It doesn't usually look like it does in that video anyway. All that blue shit around the players was some sort of spell another player cast on them.

According to that video, it looks pretty much like GIEX.
