It's me, Rodrigez, back from the dead

Well not really, but any gaming time I've had the last few months has been sucked up by Fallout 3 and BioShock. So feeling nogistalgic, I got out good ol' Quake 2 and re-installed it on my brand-new Vista gaming computer. Haven't tried it yet, but it installed fine, so I hope it'll run fine.

Anyhow, I'm thinking of getting back into mapping and maybe trying to hop into a few co-op matches well I'm here. I don't think my map-pack will be released any time soon (not a surprise probably) as its on the old machine which is currently gathering dust in the basement, but I may be making a good-quality map for you guys to have fun with.

So, any good news I've missed out on in my absence? How's that D3 co-op mod coming along (I went out and got D3 as well but it was too scary, even with a flashlight mod).

I use Vista too and Quake 2 run fine.

Try Left 4 Dead, you won't regret it.

Yes yes, new co-op missions


I'm currently focused on the coopordie website reworking and the release of the next version of coopordie for Quake2 (small enhancement for joining party).

For the D3 co-op mod, it's on progress, but don't expect anything soon. Unfortunately the first release won't be multiplayer, because that mode is not supported natively, and there is no open source co-op framework. The first draft will be doom 3 + worldserver with persistent data.

Well, mine runs fine, but it crashed when I tried to install, I had to manually pull the fiels off the disk. Wow, Quake 2 without EGL is really an eyesore after newer games. I remember it as the hieght of graphics and gameplay, I must be getting old.

Zombie survival horror? Hmmm, well I'll check it out, its on Steam, right?

We'll just have to see how much Far Cry 2's editor has spoiled me.

OK, take your time, I'm not in a huge hurry to re-install that scary game, then I'll feel the urge to try and complete it

Hum... I haven't already played survival horror games, and I'm not sure if it's the better definition for "Left 4 Dead". I like a definition given by one of the developers: Terror-strike, a small team armed to the teeth with automatic weaponry against a lot of knife-wielding enemy

This game is designed for and dedicated to co-op. All the feature I would like to see in a co-op FPS are present.

Well, I'll definitly check it out. Does it support split-screen? I've always wanted to see a PC game with co-op splitscreen (maybe it could use USB controllers).

Not the PC the version, but I think the XBox360 does.

OK then.
