We wont know if doom lovers will like or not like Q2 until it comes out.
A lotta stuff in it looks like ID is trying to fix whats wrong with
Quake in it. One thing that scares me tho is the idea of stockpiling
quads.. but it remains to see what it plays like.

Something i dont get about Quake2 tho, what is the reason for releasing
the demo version without multiplayer support? Is the networking simply
not coded yet, or is it deliberate that a non-CD version never be
distributed with multiplayer support because they are that concerned
about people using the shareware instead of getting the registered
version? Im trying to figure out how im going to know if i want to go
buy it, if i cant deathmatch anyone with the demo version.

off of IRC, as well as being the Quake Sucks Homepage.
