First duel I should not have been using dash and start with parrying. My opponent's hp and general char was anyway higher bc higher stats and whatnot.

A match between the God of Quake at the time (Thresh) and another legend, Immortal. Quake2 players. Level -elite.

Aiming for scientific realism in my play, as usual. Xbox Controller so I can't kill everybody in one shot. A.I. tweaked to balance the game (increased health and human like aim). General goal was to make engagements a bit more close to real life combat situations where if combatants are equipped with heavy armor they would usually get multiple injuries before dying. Also in close combat involving automatic weapons you will rarely see headshots. They are harder to hit and you risk putting yourself in danger from automatic fire if you decide to aim precisely for the head. This is not supposed to be a (cat and) mouse gameplay.

I used joy2key program for input, since QC is so crap in so many aspect -including the A.I.

A bit of going around the bush or how they say. Reaction times for the computer has been modified to somehow more human parameters (somewhere around 300 milliseconds, still, which is quite good for the AI who on top of it uses only one frame or below 100 ms for the decision making, wheras a human obviously do not make so fast connections between brain and body). So the AI is still cheating. Hopefully the developers will improve it in the future.

I always find interesting how I make different moves in my first match after a big pause. This time direct involuntary hits with the rocket.

Rule: if I die, I have to drop inventory. Only what I got inside my ship remains so my ship is sort of a looting base where I gather all resources. Damage 5.5x for realism.

Added realism effects to the game. How this trash game should have been at MINIMUM.

Realistic fights in open space versus well armed opponents. You don't go allin if you want to survive.

experimenting with the level of realistic accuracy in regard to warlike fights in close quarters. damage 8x the normal (=realistic) rule 1, detect the enemy, rule 2 use grenades and mines to clear the building I didn't kill all because this is not the main goal in a conflict, but to inflict casualties to the enemy. going for all kills would unnecessarily put your life to risk. in a real life war, putting two-three enemies down in a single battle is a big accomplishment the AI is stupid, especially the one "going to sleep" after hearing undisturbed grenades exploding in the hallway. but my setup is not ideal as well, so it some sort of would compensate

and some astronomy info about Alpha Centauri

-Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for-

Nightmare bot in 1v1 duel. I did not train for years. This is very bad. Unbelievable incompetence at id Software company. the AI should be supervised by these pseudo developers even if the game is being build by other team. This is their legacy. 25 years of sheer incompetence in the field of AI development. Disgraceful.

I think that the way miners do their job in the beginning of the game is representative to the way devs do their good job at Bethesda's house. Mostly just f_ing around pretending to work, omitting the good stuff while digging dirt. Who knows, maybe by doing so some day they will find gold. Golddiggers should we call them. Sorry for the freezes I did not bother to fix the settings, maybe better next time.

Shorter video with less observations. Yes, I played quite bad. But this is the idea. To have fun without taking your PhD in PoE.

Let's raise a bit our IQ and try to look at this through the lens of reality. Especially given the fact that we experienced by now at least 1/3 of a century of so-called PC gaming "revolution".

I did a bit more aggressive play, nothing special. Horrible, horrible AI but still fun to play because it's a 3d shooter, a classic. Not gonna continue anytime soon though.

Campaign. Always run OFF -would be too easy. Textures OFF -on RTX look cleaner so. Did a bit of death custom video effect in the end. Machinegun use real AK47 shot sound. Shotgun use drum shotgun sound. Have to modify MOD the game to make drum shotgun shot at much faster rate. LIke in reality. Dunno why iD Soft cretins did not think about this to balance the game.

Apologies for the usb input noise during recording. I used Quake2 RTX and also custom sounds converted/imported by me. Machinegun shot is AK47 shot sound. Also rockets and shotgun use more impactful sounds -at least to my liking.

QuakeLive Competition, Resp Classic. cypher vs cherrypuff (stupid nick) and pavel vs swex

cypher vs agent, quakelive, competition finals between two renowned quakelive players,

Played a bit from lvl 20 to 21 in town nothing important happened. I know that I said I should not use Whirlwind ability in unrealistic manner, unless I equip a two hands weapon with heavy tip of the weapon like a hammer or mace, but since I could not remove the ability from ability options, I used it from time to time, in limited manner (sometimes by mistake, other time by my choice, most of the time using just a few spins though, because I keep my statement, that in real life spinning much would make a fighter dizzy -something that the game could implement, to give advantages and disadvantages as well to certain abilities).

Quake II RTX plus oil painting effect. Match between two legendary quake players.

Finally I got a good graphics card for gaming.... everything on max, ~ 150 fps. After 10 days of moderate training. Soon to start dueling versus human opponents -if my morale will be high enough.

Using wasd for movement most of the time.
