That was 18 minutes of my life well spent. Got Quake 2 for my birthday January 1998. I was 13 years old. I opened it in the morning, and then went to school looking forward to hyper blasters. This run was very nostalgic.
I remember when my brother brought Quake 2 i was around 10 years old. First impression - i was shocked about brutality :d i rmember these torture chambers that did little impact on me as a kid lol :D one of the best FPS ever :)
@@panas1122 I was 9 years old, my godfather was watching me and was laughing a lot how scared I was :D I was scared shitless of mutants, I just couldnt face them, same with the iron maidens. After finishing Quake 2 we played Quake 1, now that was horrifying back then :D
Imagine being a Strogg. It's 12:05, and you break for Quizno's. You're just starting your sandwich at 12:20, and you get a text from work that the war's over. Apparently you left some guy named Bitterman alive at a crash site.
damn you john carmack and id software, thank you for bringing quake franchise to life. Still today I sometimes go back to q1 and q2 to strafe jump and bhop the hell out of the levels, there's just so much fun in it I never get tired of it, even after all these years. No other game accomplished that (apart from hl1)
This game is amazing to this day. Its very well made compared to modern standards. Other than using strafe-jumping, rocket-jumping and grande boosts there are no other bugs that can be exploited. No clipping through walls, no out of bounds, no other glitches. Just pure mechanical skill. Great run and great game.
Amazing work! I never realized just how perfect this game is for speedrunning. Impressive that such a "long" game that takes week to complete as a beginner, can be done in 17 minutes. There's so many cool tricks going on, it's hard for me to even keep track of, although I played this game 100 times as a kid. I love the rocket launcher boosts and the ingenious huge shortcuts used! Great job. Very impressive and entertaining run! Although it would have been even more enjoyable with the original music and visible FPS gun. Awesome!
@@TheJayson8899 flawlessly means it can run on windows 11 just straight out of the box 23 years later without fan patches or any other dos box fuckery. I don't know many games that do that.
@@KeksimusMaximusI remember getting my first graphics card in the late 90s and it being a big deal that I didn’t have to run games in software mode anymore lol. Getting everything to work properly was the fun part. Now my cheap work laptop can run this maxed out no problem. Pretty cool to see how far hardware and software have come over the years.

I just beat this for the first time last night. Amazing game! Took me 6.4 hours according to Steam. I tip my hat to you that was a great run and gave me some ideas for my next play through!
Quake 2 uses per-vertex mesh deformation, instead of (what would later become) the standard skeletal animation. This sort of thing happens when a mesh's vertices interpolate between two poses that are too different from one another.
I remember me and my good mate Ali, trying to get the best speeds possible, then we saw the videos that others had done... Kind of brought it home just how impossible it would be for either of us to get even remotely close to their speeds. I managed Q1 in about an hour and 15 minutes and Q2 in just under 3 hours. One thing I might do however, is Dawn Of War... Maybe from the first up to SoulStorm, I can complete them in silly times, but alas, I am not sure if its worth trying?
Incredible segmented run alot of fun to watch knowing older routes and tricks. Lots of swag rocket jumps and some grenades too. I think this run will stand for a while knowing the limitations of the game. Despite the flaws in the game still a great run to watch and to play. Cheers to all those who made it happen.
Imagine being the guy that follows Bitterman on that green screen back in HQ. Dude just crash landed miles off LZ and is currently WRC'ing through entire planetary defense like a rally stage.
I applaud you sir at your excellent well-thought out comedic retort! I have NEVER seen it ANYWHERE ELSE IN ANY COMMENT SECTION ON TH-cam! Totally original joke! I laughed so hard I was slapping my knee.
Strogg manager: Guys... What the fuck happened here? Confused stroggs: Idk, some kind of angry frog zip zapped on the base and blew everything up. We didn't even get a good look at him...
Had a comment explaining it, but I guess it's gone. Before games used skeletal animation, they used per-vertex, and Quake 2 used interpolation on top of that. What you're seeing is one of the drawbacks of the approach: when interpolating between poses that are too different from one another, the model gets mixed up into itself. This is because the vertices, being just points in 3D space, can't possibly know which shape is the proper one.
I remember getting this game as a demo in a PC Gamer.. Fun stuff. You blew past it pretty quick. I remember meeting some big boss in a big, wide open space though. This was when I was like 8 :P
I think you might be referring to the Tank. The demo version had a modified Unit 1, featuring the Tank as a boss at the end. In the full version you just fight regular enemies before exiting the level.
I've played this game since it came out and still can't figure out these huge model mounting jumps (goomba jumps) to get height. I can never have it line up correctly at 90 MPH. I wonder what the current record is for the newest Q2 remaster on steam?
For those, who are baffled by people, who can pull off those stunts, I get it, but everyone is talented at something. I am also baffled by this video, but on the other hand, I know 10 languages and a lot of guys also pay me respect, even though I consider it pretty normal, so I feel that the thing we see there is a piece of a cake for the author of the video, like languages for me.
В двухтысячном году это была моя первая игра на пк, первые пару месяцев играл в эту игру не зная что можно сохраняться, после Sega, даже в голову такое не приходило
I sit around watching this and wonder what is the in-universe lore explanation for this ? Running through it at high speed is actually more realistic than fighting and surviving all of the strogg enemies, but how does he know where to go in an enemy base + the shortcuts ? Maybe he been there before ? Not very lore friendly as this is a strogg base of operations. Best I could think of is he is being guided by satellite through his personal device based on real time observations from low orbit and the intel gathered by other marines. As well as their last pings - plenty of em dropped around, dead or captured, they still are found throughout the entire base.

Wrong. On q2dm1 you can rocket grenade jump into the sky and get 'stuck in the sky'. There's also double jumping, which you can see on this speed run.
Somewhere in the strogg command center:
- Where is the enemy?
- We don't know, he is everywhere!
