1. there will be no test.  This will be a demo
2. I was running Quake2 on a P100 (below Recommended) and it ran
incredibly smooth.


I took an hour out of my day to Dl this buggy, half ass game, and it's
choppy as hell on my P166 w/32 megs  (3dfx Monster3d card).

Lies about what?  This is a nice Demo, one that I think id did us
a favor by releasing.  They could have held out for a few more weeks
and given us a perfect Demo...but, then we wouldn't have had the
fun of playing it.

If its choppy on your system, thats just too damn bad.  Buy a better
system.

They said ahead of time what they would do...... release a demo thats real
purpose would be a test run.  They wanted to check to see how well the new
engine works or various systems.  It's basically a beta test, so they can
work out bugs.

Don't know where you heard that. I don't believe its from ID.
