Nah! Alien Breed is not as good really. Not graphic and sound wise.

LOL!
i think you are right about the first games in the series...
BUT...
I was meaning AB3D (TKG), which is a sure match to quake2, and even surpases it in atmosFEAR...
 :-D

Anyway, count me in on the clan...

No, i will buy Quake 2 - unless you have one for sale!

-edit-

what are you trying to say?!


If it's Hyperion's QII you guys are talking about, then it's perfectly legal to pass copies of it on, as it's a GPL'd product (IIRC).

Well I had a go at A215015.UPC-A.CHELLO.NL tonight - first time I've ever played a network game! But as my ping times were about 300 (56k modem) and everybody else's were about 12, I never saw them coming, and was always dead within seconds :-(

 I'm not sure on that- I think Hyperion licensed the code from iD software, so it is a commercial release, and can't be copied- you'd have to check.
 If someone releases a GPLed version of their code- it doesn't necessarily mean that all versions of their code come under that license.

Actually.. it's quite simple.. This way they can get money of GPL:ed product.

In the end.. Quake II engine code is released as a GPL  but those datafiles are not. So it's not legal to copy them around.

@Ants

The source code is GPL'd, the game itself is not.  Simple difference.

Neither are the Q2 GUI and the Documentation and the Installer GPL which are also found on the Quake 2 CD...
