True - dooms monsters were cool, and sometimes scary.&nbsp; Take the Archvile
for example - that thing scared the shit out of me first time I came across
it.....

<P>And I find it hard to believe that quake's atmosphere was beneficial
<BR>towards the game.&nbsp; Tell me exactly what purpose was shown by having

Who said it is Jesus?&nbsp; LOTS of people were crucified.&nbsp; It could
be any one of 'em.&nbsp; Jesus is just one of the more famous.
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>I thought it detracted

Id have never been any good at creating a good storey line behind their
games - game play always game first, then they wrote a storey to try and
fit in with the finished product.At least it looks like Quake 2 will have
a decent storey line......
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>I honestly believe that a game can be made
<BR>to convey an evil or foreboding atmosphere without having to resort
to
<BR>satanic references.</BLOCKQUOTE>
How can you have an evil atmosphere with out satanic references?&nbsp;
Surely evil IS satanic.

<P>And the zones are not separate episodes as you are thinking of them.
<BR>The levels will be divided into units, like a subway area or a space
<BR>station.&nbsp; Each unit will have a bunch of levels (like the subway
would
<BR>have a power station, the subway itself etc). You will be able to go
<BR>freely between all levels in the unit (ie, go to the power station
to
<BR>turn of&nbsp; power to the subway, then go back to the subway).&nbsp;
These
<BR>examples I gave are not going to be in the game, but that's the gist
<BR>of what id's system will be like.</BLOCKQUOTE>
..........more power to them :)

<BR>>Although you are right about the mechanical monsters, there may be
more
<BR>>because I thought iD would implement different sort of zones for Quake
<BR>>2. Like Hexen 2 is doing, maybe Quake 2 could do the same sort of
thing.
<BR>>A futuristic level, an ancient level, an industrial sort of place
and
<BR>>maybe a medieval zone. Something like that anyway.
<BR>>
<BR>>I totally agree with your statement about the dark touch. Quake 2
does
<BR>>look a little more lighter this time round, let's hope iD makes it
just
<BR>>as dark as Quake...
