 A cool concept for QUAKE might be a "post-nuclear ( or holocost of some sort)
war setting" where mutants and beasts run rampant.  An environment that
would allow the high-technology weapons and warriors of the future to
battle the warriors and beasts of the past and beyond!!!

Also, if this game is not going to have levels included but rather one
HUGE world won't the game have to be sold in CD format.  In saying this I
mean in order for such huge worlds to be part of the game won't the
massive memory have to be stored on CD?  Or will these WORLDS be on
SERVERS for multi-player games (although I believe the home user would
require the same information regarding the environment in their QUAKE game)?


thanks...................

Depends on how 'big' the worlds are.. it doesn't matter if it's one big 
map or a bunch of levels, it still uses the same amount of disk space.

First off, id will give out the server source code.  Yes, they want to get
Quake compiled on as many servers as possible.  Quake should spread like
fire.

Secondly, the bigger the world, the better.  If 'dozens' of ppl are logged
in to a Quake server, then they'll need the expanse for adventures or, 
more importantly, the room for deathmatches.  Deathmatch is their 'first'
priority.
