Hey Deadpool yeah I remember you, I played as Diablo, Briesebaine and Baine, brother is Jinx. Been a few resurrection attempts of the community over the years. AQ2, been meaning to check it out again in Quake 2 RTX rendering mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8zllUjxdFE&ab_channel=SkacikPL

*2nd half of post*

I was sad to see the clan page mentioned here was dead, but not surprised hahah. Apparently JINX and I helped test the map back then but I can't remember that long ago LOL

Then I found WetWired talking about AQ2 a decade ago, seeing all these clan names and old gamer handles I can vaguely recall for some weird reason being mentioned in the thread. Like TDm, Rev, WoZ.

He mentions how he was contact via the steam groups and here I am now...

So hello! Not sure if you remember me, not sure if I remember you in fact... LOL

Looking forward to you jogging my memory.

Hi, I was in Consortium as =][Deadpool][=.

I must admit my memory of AQ2 is a bit shady... such a long time ago but definitely fond memories. I don't recall much of the gameplay, except jumping from building to building and make people fly with the handcannon and blindly flinging throwing knives into window openings lol.

I was watching some Valorant clips of a friend and mentioned how I used to play AQ2. Then to my surprise I found a clip on youtube of Aussies playing in 2020. During the clip, I see the player observing WetWired. I was absolutely shocked haha. I decided I just wanted to find him and say hi.

I did a bit of net stalking and after a few links, I find your steam community and this video.

18th July 1998 - My old clan Syndicate which then became known as Consortium vs Clan IF in Action Quake 2 on Teamjungle. Apologies for the red models, using AprQ2 (http://jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/wiki/AprQ2) , I tried removing customs packs etc to no effect, but anyway still get to see some really old school FPS action.

I particularly noticed that FPS tactics havent changed much these days with, rush, grenade, spam or pick the sniper shots, then it boiling down to a pistol duel or knives, that is still the essence of nearly all FPS experiences.

Also the insults people give each other in FPS hasnt changed in 10 years either if you read the chat ;)

Also the point of view isnt of the best player, or spectator camera operater, I might keygrip and do retakes of the demo files point of view and cut them all to some music once i sort out the engine glitches if anyone is interested.
