Greetings.

After reading an article in PC Gamer recently I was wondering what
improvements ID hope to make on the single-player side of Quake 2. Let's
face it, single player on Quake just sucked... The monsters just stood
there waiting until you shoot first.
No. I hope they will include a Botsystem, like the reaperbot, just to make
the single player version more interesting. I do have an Internet
connection but it runs through TC/ICP Winsock which is only 16-bit so KALI
refuses to work, so no Internet gaming for me until they fix this problem.
I also have a lot of friends playing Quake through IPX network, and once
or twice a month I am able to join them and play true Quake, Multiplayer
that is. It's the multiplayer Quake, which really makes this game fabulous
to play and really is the reason why it's so loved. 

If ID are able to add a Botsystem to Quake 2 then the game, IMHO,
justifies it's probable rank as PC game of 1997 and maybe even of the
century?! Has anybody heard if ID will add a system like this???

Greetz, Edwin
