I've read numerous messages lately on here, and none that I've read have
had any concerns with modem issues for the second Quake game. Playing Quake
on the net is a fun experience, but what about those one on one games? That
is where the real skill is. I'd like to see id fix the modem code so that
both players experience the same or NO lag at all... why can Duke3d,
Descent 2, Warcraft 2 and a host of other games play with no noticeable lag
and Quake cannot?

If the game is undergoing some radical changes to it's architecture, that
should be one of it's primary concerns. If it weren't for the modem play in
Doom2 for example, I dont think there would be as big a following or desire
for Quake today. That's what started it all. 

We know the guys at id are rich, driving extremely nice cars and such.. and
I'm sure it's not a primary concern from what I can tell so far from the
interviews of the people in direct contact with the game that modem play is
a priority... but we all dont have T1's in our homes to get smooth games on
the net of course if we were all rich we'd have them...... there are many
out there that will only play on LAN's because of the amount of lag...now I
dont want to get into why the internet is laggy for games and such, but I
would just like id software to consider adding good modem code to the game
for people out there that want a good smooth one on one game.
