Dissapointed with Hyperion - Quake II

[Warface]

"You can register with hyperion to download the updates which can fix potential problems, same with Q2."

There were problems with that. AFAIR the registration number on Heretic2 box was outside, and when I bought mine and tried to register it turned out someone has already registered with my serial. (It was very annoying, I even tried to contact Hyperion, but at the end I've asked a fellow Heretic 2 owner to send me the updates)

I don't have major complaints concerning Hyperion softwares (except the initial releases - what will happen if Hyperion won't be anymore, and there will be no place to download the updates anymore?). Most problems remaining after the updates are present in the original versions as well. As to updates needed - sadly it's a custom nowadays, there is such a rush in software development, buggy programs are the standard.

It has become very common here on Amiga org for posters to trash amiga related companies.

I will sound a bit strange, but having posts like yours is good. Everyone is a bit sensitive now, and having ppl criticising/defending both "sides" is the sign of a healthy mixture of users here.

This thread is subject to customer support, unless Hyperion denies to help - which is not the case.

Anyway, most Pegasos owners have all Hyperion titles, and have little/no anomisity towards Hyperion. At least that is my impression.

Alkemyst, I own all Hyperion titles AND like them. The Q2
port is very good.
BUT! The MorphOS Q2 port has every feature you would
expect, minus the mods (only a few ported).
Please do not talk about stuff you haven't tried.

I dont have to try something before i can talk about it & express my opinion of it from what i have seen & been told, which is something you do all the time Alkis Tsapanidis.

Oh come on... Both versions are great. (Tried both) As to the mods, even Hyperion has run into legal trouble with many of them... AFAIR

The bad thing is Q2 mods are different from Q1 mods and are platform dependant, so you need someone to port them over. Problems arise then with source availability, programmer willness, legal issues with the mod authors etc... It was way easier with the platform independent Q1 mods.

@lempkee

While expecting others not to attack hyperion and spread fud, please restrict yourself from the same concerning MOS. What I stated still stands, and I don't even care if the MOS port is based on the Hyperion sources, I tried both and both is fine, that's it.

As to legal troubles, by that I meant that (my impression, and that's why I used "AFAIR") the many mods freely available for the Hyperion Quake2 suddenly disappeared.

Point out please where I blamed Hyperion.
