Well, you're talking about the lithium hook....as far as I know there is
no way to include this in sp. There is a grapple for single player tho,
I have the mod and although it's no where near as good as the lithium,
it's kind of cool to use a grapple in sp mode. I can't remember where I
got the hook mod from but if you want it I can send it to you.

Get the weapons of destruction mod. Reccommend it to your friends! Got a
freeze ray and everything! Got grapple too....and a more realistic one!

I dont know what prompted me to respond to this message. I am in no way
trying to rip on you or your post. The grappling hook thing is just really
funny to me. Is there a device in real life that allows people to zip all
over walls, buildings, and such with little or no exertion except for
pointing it? Its just such a funny thing to say - that this "grappling hook"
is somehow "more realistic". Ive noticed this in other games as well. These
"super realistic graphics" and "realistic physics" are just laughable. I
dont think we want super realism in games. Can you imagine the most
realistic game? It would suck - you would have to get up and go to work in
this game, it would be boring as shit, and once you died that would be that.
How about a super realistic boxing game? Every time the computer scored a
hit - a boxing glove full of cement would be slammed into your face with the
force calculated by the machine. All the players would walk away with
missing teeth and broken noses. Its just so funny to me that we talk like
this now - that this game has more realism than that game - its totally the
hype on the game boxes that start it. They mention the super realism as a
selling tool - and we have now integrated it into our evaluation of a game.
The grappling hook may certainly be cooler or more fun, but I cant think of
one thing in quake2 that is even remotely realistic. Even the players have
an insane vertical - like 6 feet! Hows that for realism! Im not trying to
insult you dude - its just funny how we have allowed the marketers and game
magazines influence our vocabulary.

Yup, I remember having this conversation before. Ppl were complaining
that the game wasn't "realistic" enough. There were others, including
myself, that pointed out if it was made more realistic you wouldn't be
able to carry all the armor let alone 10 weapons and the ammo for all of
them. That's just scratching the surface of why it would be not only not
really possible to make a good realistic game, but also ridiculouss to
even try. Besides that, I haven't seen too many ppl get shot and then
walk over a med kit and be instantly healed......=-)

You are confusing realistic with real. Realistic means...take this
possibility. If this were possible how would this other thing react? A
more realistic object is something that acts like you think it would
*IF* it were able to do this.
Basically you're changing one thing (or several depending on what you
want to do) in reality while leaving the rest intact.

Well, I guess you could use a really powerful magnet. But you'd have to have
some bigass steel building.

yeah man! No respawning and blasting down the dude with the ping of 10, that has
the chaingun right from behind!

and...if it had real players, you might miss an ear.

well, shotgun is fairly realistic, I mean a drum ammo thing might be nice.

yeah, realistic jumping means it sux.

the shotgun and machinegun. well, really the shotgun should blow a big hole into
you and kill you in one shot w/ no armor. and the machinegun should take no more
than 3 (2 to the heart, 1 to the head)

It must be they use those Eaon Flux knee things.

well, lets face it, it's in the distant future, therefore realism is out of the
question entirely anyway!

LOL!
I could just see that...taking out a squirrel with this 50lb gun that shoots
green balls.
and then there's the q2 sounds. you'd have some of that grunting pain, only it'd
be like the q2 dude inhaled helium. and you'd have these little tiny giblets
left over...

you want to know how much realism sux?
check out the mw2 games.
I'd bet a fully loaded quake2 player would be as heavy as a crab!
and still have better weapons. and no overheating to worry about...or ammo
explosions...or getting shot in the head...or getting your weapons blown away
and have you left to try to DFA the dude...

Actually, the grappling hook was invented by the Japanese.

MW2 and Quake 2 are not really the same kind of game. I sorta enjoyed MW 2
in sp, although multiplayer on it would suck
