    : Just to stir up a bit of controversy :)

    : You know that excuse that Q1ers give us Q2ers as to why they don't play Q2....

    : "My machine can't handle it"

    : Well I can comfortably say I probly have one of the worst machines around..
    : P100 16MB Ram :)
    : and I play Q2 "comfortably" on it when you turn off all the effects n tone down the grafix n stuff. Sure it doesn't look as nice, but you don't play the game for its looks anyway, its the amzing gameplay. Once you've played it a coupla times you can see this.
    : So when people say their machine won't run it, I'd highly doubht hat statement.

    :
    : (Heres a pic to show ya what mine looks like)

    Actually i got a huuuuge monitor, a fairly decentcomputer and a gl card, but it still sucks as a multiplayer game.

    : Here's the way my screen looks - beautiful isn't it? Oh and by the way if any Quake1 snobs would like to try Q2CTF then maybe they'll see what's so much fun about Q2. Great crack!
