I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that this purchase of Quake also includes 2 mission packs (named 'hipnotic' and 'rogue'). Sometimes i found myself in a situation where i was relatively low on health because i played kind of stupidly, but, even then, there is usually plenty of health packs scattered around the level (at least, on Normal difficulty), which was enough to keep me alive throughout. in the barrage of grenades, bullets, lasers(?) and other explosive projectiles, you must move quickly in order to not get hit by those a bunch of times, and, at the same time, you must also take care not to run into a melee-based enemy, cause melee attacks still hurt.

in Quake, you are very agile, and you must dodge various enemy attacks. it feels very satisfying to land a direct hit on an enemy and kill them instantly.Īnother thing i loved, which is probably iconic to Quake, was the movement. but, as i progressed through the game, i eventually got much better at things, and i came to love the grenade launcher. i have to be honest, i am often very bad at projectile-based weapons (except maybe rocket launchers) and i didn't think i would like Quake's Grenade Launcher either.

what i noticed is, half of the weapons are projectile-based instead of hitscan. 'rerelease/id1/music' -> 'id1/music'Īt first, of course, like in almost all other FPS games, i had to get used to the arsenal of weapons Quake offered. from there, you should copy the 'music' directory to the mod folder in the game's local files (parent directory of 'rerelease'), e.g. go to the 'rerelease' directory in the game's local files and open the appropriate mod directory (non-modded campaign is 'id1'). it's possible, though, that, when playing on a source port, you won't hear any music, which does exist. i decided to play on a source port instead of the official remastered engine, but i don't think this change affects the gameplay experience much. I did have to do some configuration for the game first, of course. it was not for sale and i bought it at full price, but i will say that, in my opinion, it was worth it.

After about 3 years finding out more about Quake, mostly its movement and DNA in the Source engine, i decided to finally buy it.
