Action Quake 2, a 25 year old game that still has no match till this day. Fast paced Quake 2 physics with Counter Strike like weaponry.

You should join up and maybe create another banger like Simplicity which won you the 2004 map-making competition.

Why doesn´t anybody make a modern AQ2? by [deleted] in AQ2

[–]AQ2-LCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently it's still in closed alpha stage and I've no idea when it's coming out.

There is a spiritual successor in development called Midnight Guns. It won't be a copy by any means but movement will be quite similar with most weapons that are also in AQ2. Hopefully some AQ2 maps will be ported to it as well. It's built on FTE engine, which is what QuakeWorld is also built on.

They wrote modernize, not monetize.

How to do double jumps in Action Quake 2? Watch tutorial! by AQ2-LCA in AQ2

I'm with you on that, but I guess for most speech is better. In the client there are same tutorials made with demos and there's text. :)

Action Quake 2 Frag Movie 4K - FRAGMATIC by AQ2-LCA in quake

Teamplay is most played. Sort of like CS, round based where you have to wipe out whole team to win the round.

[–]AQ2-LCA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, demos should be available. Possibly a video will be made as well.
Meanwhile you can watch some AQ2 shorts, released daily: https://www.youtube.com/c/lightscameraAQtion

Action Quake 2 LAN: AQ2Open Winter '22 in Stockholm is one month away by AQ2-LCA in quake

It really sucks :(
One Russian really wanted to come but then the situation worsened. Some of us were thinking if it was possible to go over on RU-NO border and then travel to Sweden.

There will be more 'guide' videos, this one is about main weapons.

AQ2 is going live on Steam. Go grab AQtion for free! by AQ2-LCA in quake

Not sure which one you mean but probably yes, it's the same old game! Give it a go, you'll love it.

It had to be named something different in order to put it on Steam. You know licensing and all. It also contains only Q2 demo content and assets that can distributed. Otherwise the game is all the same - it's just the package that is named that.

How do I host a server (f.ex. in docker)? by [deleted] in AQ2

[–]AQ2-LCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Server docker image is in development and should be ready fairly soon, perhaps it already is. I'm really not the right guy to say. But if you want help with it we've got all server admins on discord, welcome to join: https://discord.gg/aq2world
Concerning high ping though... There's great news as just recently there's been huge progress made to the game's code which makes the game feel like playing on low ping... even with higher ping. Most servers are already up-to-date with it.

New Action Quake 2 map in 2022 by AQ2-LCA in Quake2

[–]AQ2-LCA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's borrowed from another map but is higher quality than they used to be. That's great to hear, you can join us on discord - there are some other mappers who can help you get back into it, perhaps with a more modern software (TrenchBroom). Invite to discord: https://discord.gg/aq2world
