| 77291 | 2002-09-07 02:10:00 | Hias I have the Quake 2 CD, and a good fast dialup. I was thinking about (once I get my mouse problems sorted out) having a go at playing online since I already clocked it a few times. 1) Is it possible on a slowish laptop? (P233 32mb - the game runs fine) 2) Are they still playing it? 3) What else do I need? 4) Where do I connect? Scoobydo. SiK |

| 77292 | 2002-09-07 02:45:00 | yes its still being played tho with lesser numbers and more cheats :( servers are starting to run anticheat so you winn need it to play on some servers. q2ace is being used a lot more. for local servers try- http://gamers.paradise.net.nz/ and you can always ask here (http://www.ozquake.com/) |

| 77293 | 2002-09-07 03:08:00 | tweak'e is right, but yeah, the laptop should do it fine, Dial up is all your should need, maybe the latest Direct X depending on what OS, it's probably worth getting 8.0 or 8.1 anyways! It might be a little blurry on a Laptop Screen, with all the 3D movement. I ran it on a 2MB video card, so if your laptop can do 800x600 at 16Bit or higher, then AFAIK it should be at least 2Meg, that outghta be okay. Give it a shot, why not, and have fun Chilling_Silence |

| 77295 | 2002-09-09 01:41:00 | Alright, I had my first game last night after having to download a 13mb patch... I got told off for staying up until 3am playing it! Lol Anyway, while I was looking for the patch, I came across a few sites with MODs for quake 2. Q: What is a MOD and what do I do with it? SiK |

| 77296 | 2002-09-09 02:20:00 | Mod's MODIFY the game/gameplay in some way. This could be anything from a new skin for your player, or it could be a new level. Otherwise, it could be something that completely modify's the game, it might make all level's have a default gravity of 100 or it could make the bots go on a 100% hardcore killing spree with unlimited rockets, It all depends. Mod's are fun and as long as you check them (Virus) before you open them, Go right ahead! Chilling_Silence |

| 77297 | 2002-09-09 02:21:00 | A mod will change various aspects of the game eg. mods are available for Jedi Knight which change the colour of the light-saber you wield, etc. Instructions for how it should be installed should be included (presumably a readme.txt in the zip file). |
