Quake II Question (Q2Q)

[BlackKnight]

Ah well pending my getting a new vid card Doom 3 and Quake IV are out of the question for me.

 

However I say the Doom movie the other day and that first person shot really stirred me up. So without those two new games, what do I do? I dig out Quake 2~ oh yeh.

 

 

AHEM.

 

Anyway I wanted to ask something, if anyone remembers because there are no decent walkthroughs or anything like that to be found these days.

 

Everyone remembers the Tank enemy, right? Big armoured guy with rockets. Then there was the Tank Commander, same deal but with black armour, and in one mission you need to get one's head.

 

I want to know if anyone remembers the Tank Boss, or Supertank, which actually looks like a real tank. If you do know it, then what level or map was it on in the original Quake 2? Or was it only in the expansions? I can't find it anywhere but I remember it

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

I think it was in the first expansion

[Agozer]

The Super Tank was the first boss in Quake 2. The map is called Control Grid, where you have to locate and destroy the grid control computer. The Super Tank also appears in the Power Plant level sometime later.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

heh, forgot...

[Shibathedog]

Shiba=pissed because he cant find his expansion discs for quake 2, only the original game+cant find a download >_<

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

Ah thanks that's exactly it.

 

 

Oh and btw, with the Quake 4 versions of Q2 and the expansion, I hear they don't have music? Of any kind? Is for there a fix for that?

 

Also, did the expansions have their own CD audio, or did you just put the Q2 CD in and listen to that music while playing?

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

I need to install them and tell you and since it's not at my house, but at the office you're gonna hafta wait on that.

Quake 2 had Redbook audio so you could just put it in any CD player and listen. And the lack of music sucks since Quake 2 has one of the best soundtracks ever.

 

I have the soundtracks for Quake 2 and it's expansions in MP3 format (74.4 mb unpacked) so I wouldn't mind sending it to you.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

Is it good? And I seriously doubt the Q4 versions of Q2 do not have music, that would be a serious f0ck-up on iD's side.

[BlackKnight]

Cheers, Gryph for those soundtracks.

 

I've checked and the Q4 versions lack the CD Audio, but do work properly if you place an original Q2 CD in the drive. It is a big flock up, and I guess they could have compressed the data and put it in the pak files quite easily. Maybe they were just lazy about it or didnt care too much.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

goddamn goddamn goddamn, well this boils me up. gotta wait till I get my hands on that stinkin iso and get it home, grrr. how teh flock can they omit the goddamn soundtrack jeesus talk about a crap service, I mean C'MON!! YOU flockEN RELEASE A COLLECTOR'S

DISK WITH A SUPOSED EXCELLENT VERSION OF AN OLDER GAME (like patched and addoned and all that crap) AND NO MUSIC?!?!

F U C K YOU iD software, for your crapass fanservice!

[Gryph]

It's not on the disc because you can't put CD Redbook on a DVD. :-/ They must have been too busy with Q4 to put the music in some other format and directed the music to read it from there.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

how can we fix this? and why did it have to be on the damn disc, couldn't they just make the music install itself with the game, like normal games do?! dumbasses. I still think it's crappy fanservice

Yeah, it is pretty crappy. They should have taken the extra day or so to do it but I think they were more concerned about putting the main game out the door. You could play the MP3s in the background.

 

I still have the YouSendIt link so if you want it just PM me.
