Wow. It's great to see people still here and playing and doing COOP which was never done back in '99 and '00 which is probably when I was last here and actually played Q2 (anyone remember USA vs UK invasions?!) !! And working to preserve all the great Q2 files which are starting to go away on the internet. I posted this in reply to another thread but in case you didn't see it I'll say it again. My old PC stopped working so I had to buy a new one. A friend of mine got back into Q2 recently and wanted to play so I reinstalled it and went looking on the internet for files and found many I used to use harder to find. At the time it didn't occur to me to ask here. Anyway we've been playing coop in VanQ2 and also using SP maps I found out there by other people. A lot were not made for coop but if you get the hell out of the way when you change maps it helps to reduce telefrags. And they play just fine in coop often enough. Ok so maybe you have to give yourself a weapon the other guy got cause it doesnt stay but oh well. I tried to disable cheats in coop but it wont work. At least you guys are still here, the UK usenet quake2 group is empty, they're all gone. Just spam there now. I have demos from the USA vs UK invasions games and I can put those on the ftp site. Anyway I have a lot of old Q2 files on the old hard drive which is still in the other machine and when I have time I'm going to get them off it but I have to try and fix the OS first. Then Ill see whats on the new ftp server and upload what I have that isnt on there. But it seems you guys have a lot of it covered. I put some of my files here: http://www.superdavid.com/q2/ Its probably better if people take them and upload them to the new ftp site as I have very limited bandwidth there and Ill have to cut it off if I get close to my limit. I found a site where this guy lists maps but doesnt have any for downloads. I have 2box4 and from what he listed and what Ive seen on some servers it looked like there were some sequals that came out for it but I can't find them anywhere. The only one I got was 4box6 which is a larger version of 2box4. If anyone knows where to find these maps please let me know. Here are some sites I found that have files or pointers to files: http://3dmr.gamedesign.net/reviews/quake2/ http://www.fileaholic.com/idgames.d/quake2/levels/ (most maps only on sweden or swiss site) http://www.mplsgeeks.com/quake2/maps/ http://q2database.com/maps.html http://quake2.usww.com/downloads/ David aka Shogo http://zmax.org/quake2/

If you have Gamespy3d or The All Seeing Eye, you can see that quite a number of Q2 servers are using it. You can get it here: http://fugue.terrafusion.com/ That being said, we haven't has much of a problem with cheaters. With all these Quakers coming out of the closet, we may need multiple co-op servers. P.S. Thanks for the links! G. > David > aka Shogo > http://zmax.org/quake2/ > > > > > > >

With all I think they all moved on to Quake3 or UT or whatever is popular now. I still play this game called Shogo (1998) and there is only a small die hard group of people left playing it and only a handful of servers but the odd thing is they still have to keep coming out with anticheat patches because a few dorks still want to cheat in it! > these Quakers coming out of the closet, we may need multiple co-op servers. I think so! I know a few other guys who may be interested. . . David
