Does Quake II have any Slaughter maps?

[screaming_chicken]

I've played a few Doom 2 slaughter maps; Holy Hell, Sunlust and they have their own ridiculous appeal.

I played through the remaster last year and it made me wonder if anyone had previously made a slaughter map for Q2, or would be inspired to based on some of the remaster new levels.

i mean isnt call of the machine basically a quake 2 slaughter map campaign? sure they dont have as many enemies in one map compared to slaughter maps made for doom but compared to other quake 2 maps thats a ♥♥♥♥ ton of enemies.

Maybe Pax Imperia?

I found a copy of Pax Imperia and also the various Milous map-packs. However they've mostly been built for an ancient engine called Knightmare.

Quake 2 is harder (on hard or Hard +) than Doom. I grew up with both these games, Got Doom Christmas of 1993 and quake when I was 13 ( been so long ago i don't remember the year. If you enjoyed Doom, you'll enjoy Quake 2. I LOVE Quake 2 and I love Doom, Quake 2 is harder. Stop questioning the purchase (the remaster is fantastic and cheap) and just get it.

Lol no.
The power shield makes q2 one of the easiest ID games by far.

Ancient? The last update is just four years old.

Ok, I played Pax Imperia and it's quite fun. I would have been pretty excited if I knew about it 20 years ago, although my Athlon would have been burnt to a crisp.

For anyone else wanting to play through:

- Install Knightmare v20 into a 1998 copy of quake 2
- Then put the level into a "pax" folder, then the Knightmare v20 patch for the level into the same folder
- If you're stuck at the end of level three at a force-field on the last door, you need to go all the way back into the computer tunnels and come out an upper exit near the +1 health
- Those ammo dispenser do indeed disappear back into the walls, so stock up on them

I think the map maker might have forgotten he gave the player 10 electricity mines on level 1-2, those things eat monsters for dinner on the last level.

There is lots of janky user-map lift movement. Lifts that go down and refuse to go up. Lifts that come up and are reluctant to go down. The good old jumping over lift sectors so your player model will trigger the lift script.

As someone who is a big fan of un-sportsmanlike monster closets, this level delivers them en masse.
