Hey now! Someone who thinks like I do! I am planning to buy both Quake 2 and Unreal. I think both games have merit and are good, I don't understand why this rivalry exists. As for Hexen 2, I thought the graphics were awesome, some of the best I've seen (I'm also using a Rightous 3d). As for gameplay and level design, I think it sucked. It would have really been neat if it actually looked like you were approaching a castle, I mean you'd be in a town with a wall towards the end, and would be able to see the ramparts of the castle over the town walls. It looked to me the same way all the other quake levels have looked so far... a series of rooms with sky textures, not like taking a big room and making the stuff within it. I guess I was just hoping for castles like the one in the newest unreal screenshot that shows the WHOLE castle from a distance. That would have been cool... extremely cool. And also what's with the weapons? I should have expected it... Heretic's were just like it, always a flaw I thought and why I didn't bother with Hexen. I would've liked it better if it had been more RPGish, not some gay "shoot magical spinning blades from a battle axe" JMHO -Daniel Warner ScreamTree Graphix and Soundz <screa...@monad.net> wrote: >What is the big deal anyway?
