*grin*
I imagine that would be considerably better than the games I tend to have 
against
my friend (ie he 0 ping server, me modem dialup 150-250 ping client :))
I play Quakeworld most of the time though, my isp has a server I get a 200 
ping
off, and in Quakeworld that is very fast indeed :)
 AS> I will say there is this ingenious level. Very few weapons to pick
 AS> up, the best you can get is the regular nail gun, double barrel
 AS> shotgun, and the super nailgun. It's an outdoors level on a main floor
 AS> and you can go onto this upwards ramp. There are no health power ups
 AS> either. It's a great level.
 
Never really use other levels, I guess if I played more 2 player I would 
ince
the levels are bigger but for mulitplayer EP1 is good, a couple of the DM 
levels
are ok, parts of others eps are good/ok and a LOT of the time I play Team 
Fortress.
 AS> Plus if you have the internet I have a page for Quake stuff you must
 AS> visit.
 AS> Http://www.moose.erie.net/~mrdoom if that doesn't work try 
 AS> Http://www.moose.erie.net/~mr.doom
I went their a bit when it was a Doom page, haven't been since Quake came out
though.
 AS> He has this add on pack for the grenade launcher and rocket launcher
 AS> that
 AS> are both cool. And you can get a grappling hook add on and you can get
 AS> an add on that turns your axe into a throwing axe.
I have the grappling hook patch, and have heard about the throwing axe, have
yet to get the patch though.
 AS> Have you ever played a game called BLOODnet? It's a good deathmatch
 AS> game with a GREAT deal of original weapons. Plus it has this neat
 AS> feature where you can crawl so you can be on the ground and your
 AS> enemies don't see you. 
 
I don't like games where you can crawl/duck, but that is just me, I'll have
to try it some time anyway.
 AS> what else is cool is when you use the tommy gun,
 AS> the spent casings from the bullets lie on the ground. It's a fantastic
 AS> game. Try it.
You can get a patch to do this for the shotgun for Quake if you want.
Cya,
Lewis
