AQ2World.com

hi

now that we got a league we also got some activity again in our scene. still, more players would be nice, so how about trying to get new ppl to play aq2 in an active way? especially in the easteuropean countries theres a lot of ppl playing normal q2 already, and i think we could really attract some of them.

i made this thread to collect ideas.. we need:

- reasons we can tell them for starting with aq2
- ways to get in contact with those potential players
- good publicity, media-wise (movies for example)


we can discuss all this and maybe, if we thing we can achieve something, really start such an initiative. i'll start with some of my ideas..


reasons for aq2:

- quite large community for such an old game
- good infrastructure (aq2world.com, matchbots, community channels, teamspeak servers..)
- league
- offline lan-tournament with prize money
- enough servers
- someone still developing the game (r1ch)


best ways to get in contact might be forums? and some aq2-publicity video would be really nice


well just post if you have any thoughts about this.. is this useless? can we achieve something? is this too much work? whatever..

bye

sounds like an idea, i'd be much happier getting more oldskoolplayers than 12yr old "idunnoanything"'s in the scene.

also, for finns, aq2suomi.com in irc and the forums.

a place where you collect all the movies, alittle more 'clean' list than the forum "MOVIES"

Yeah

I'm trying to get my old cs mates to start playing, its not going so well.

I just had a idea, can't someone how is a a good writer, write some sort of promotion column for aq2, and then we all sweep all gameing sites and post it.

The column need say stuff like "Would you like to play a game where the best guy win, where camping is no good. and a game that have the speed of quake but the weapons from cs, and where you don't need a monster computer, how plays online games becuse of the grafics?

The game you are looking for is Action Quake 2.

Something like that.

HAPPY NOW?! =)

Cheating's helped me fine... I got above 75% accuracy with my sniper now!

75%?? you should try playing without cheats! you would be more successful

hahaha i love the way at least 70% of all forum topics end up in a discussion about cheating rofl!

Sounds like an idea, just that many people is to much concetrated at graphics and so on, damn CS noobs :p, the spirit of AQ2 should be added, i mean.... movement and so on.. ive myself got 3 mates frm school to start playing aq2 there ^_^, and im working on getting em online MUHAHAHA :DD

my friends dont like aq2 cuz its so fast, and they dont get the hang of the strafe jump... also there are not "n00b" servers... everywhere u are they are playing "godlike"..
