Firstly let me start by saying that i have just completed JK..
its a good game and i'd reccomend it but i have some gripes:

1) The weapons are crap...they almost identical to the weapons in Dark
forces.. the graphics for the explosions suck big-time...i mostly used
the concussiong gun, when it fired all you got was a blue slodge..WTF
is this??

also, in terms of aiming the game is crap...you use the crosshairs to
align where you want your shot to go (im talking about the concussion
gun and the grenades) and it always go somewhere else....

2) graphically i think it didnt even come close to Quake..let alone
quake 2..the textures were flaky, the AI of the enemy was stupid.

3) who was that fat fuck playing the central character??? and where
the fuck did he buy his beard from? jesus, at least let him lose some
weight first...


anyway..thats my fore-penneth...


addios...

In reply to each of your lame points (and one that have been brought up
before):

1) In case you hadn't noticed some of the weapons in JK are homing,
therefore acurate aiming isn't really possible.
Secondly, Quake 2 still seems to use the same ancient shotgun weapons from
Doom, even if they have jazzed then up a bit. I'd hardly call that orginal?

2) The textures may be less inspiring than Quake 2 but at least the level
design kicks Quake and Quake 2's butt!

3) I don't seem to recall Quake even making the effort of having cutscemes.
But then again it didn't exactly have a decent storyline in the firstplace.

Sounds to me you are playing in 3D mode either without a 3D card or with a
really crappy one. I do not know this "Blue Slodge" of which you speak.

Quake doesn't hold a candle to this game.

Try taking the auto-aiming feature off.

Why start all this crap again,
I bet you were one of the same people who started the quake v Duke crap
exchanges last year.
I've played Doom, DF,Duke, quake, redneck and now DF2, They all have
different qualities that appeal to different people.
I play Quake once a month against eight other people via our network
cards and I think its great, but I cannot seem to enjoy it playing
against the AI. Duke and Redneck have some great humour and DF2 has its
puzzles. Doom still holds out on the atmosphere stakes and no one has
matched it yet.
So stop wingeing and play and if not learn to program and see if you can
do better
