You want Action, play AHL, AQ2, AUT, but do not look forward to, expect, or make a new Action.

Don't like that answer? Well, then do something thats your own, and not just a fairly tired formula, ripping off our hard work. Hell, want to be really helpful, get in on the "Open Reaction" project, I still need a coder(s), and most everything else. Its off to a slow start.

Yes, and no, but mostly yes. And he's the maker of a dreadful series of maps as well. I pray for a nasty veneral disease myself.

What are you saying? Every round based game I play has talking. You're mental.

i think you misunderstood, but ur a frumpy tosser anyway

although other games have chat features no fps games give you time to chat like aq2 does...dm has no time for it in any game, other games respawn pretty fast too. aq2 is the only game ppl really talk in (fps game perhaps but who care about the rest)

chat is the core of the community aspect of this game, there are no others like it

and clown, dont be so negative ya twat. go back to you hole. if you want to take the thread of topic with this, start a new one and ill come visit.

why does it matter if the A-team doesn't want another action? why do you even have to call it action quake4? it will never be the same as any other action game anyway, so what's in a name?

If you change the engine, you will change the most important part of this game. If you also change the people making it, there will without a doubt be changes to the game code made. So why not just make what you want to make, give it a original name and be done with it?

Oh, and I think I'll stay with aq2

I think I'll keep this here. I said every round based game I play has chat in it. I DID NOT say deathmatch you stupid fucking imbecile. In round based games, the rounds last as long as the people playing it take. There's no such thing as different games having different amounts of times to talk. It depends on the map. Obviously a map like sludge will have a shorter 'chat-time' than actcity3 will. Likewise, any small map on any other round-based game will have a shorter time to chat. The community makes the chat. Not the game.

The only thing I misunderstand is how stupid some people in this community are. Or rather, plain incomprehension.

anger, small penis?

i dont care about dm, i wasnt the one who mentioned it.

chat in aq2 is good. it makes people laugh and creates the community spirit that built and populates this site.
it may be that its not the amount of time but the way we can chat and spectate, chasecam etc. that makes [DEAD] chat so good.

point is i was descibing my favorite parts of aq2, you clown were abusing and being negative.

just drop it unless you can be constructive, perhaps go out and get some sun.

clown, why do you (or did you) play aq2? what are your favorite parts?

try to be nice.

You mentioned it. You mentioned other games. I mentioned that other round-based games have talking between rounds. You can spec, fly around and do what you want in pretty much every public round-based game. I was simply correcting your ignorant remark.

Negative? The only 'negative' comment I made was that you were mental. Hardly on par with calling people twats and tossers. How can you be so fucking stupid as to forget what you've been writing in this thread? It's right there in black and white.

Again; The community makes what it wants to out of the chat.

What do I enjoy about this game? Nothing. I like playing multiplayer games with my friends. It loads quickly, and I'm fairly good at it, but I enjoy nothing about it anymore. It's full of idiots. I just don't have time for idiots, and I've wasted far too much time on explaining myself to you, who is clearly too brain damaged to understand what the fuck is going on.

Sweet... Aq back in the old days was full of people bitching and moaning at each other.

For the record: I've abandoned this idea. I'm going to get involved with Open Reaction. Also, I'm going to sort out Q2TV post-exams so watch for that too

I think he is glad he didn't start. It's really a dead end, if the goal is to re-create action quake 2 for quake 4. there are legal issues and there is a negative atmosphere in here about the whole thing. so where is the motivation to launch such project?

Action Quake 2 is unique. Attempts to deliver it for future engines will probably keep disappoint you - all of us.
