fuera de joda es de mis juegos de valve favoritos, pero como siempre, está muerto y bueno nada soy puto queria decir eso tambien
Best game ever
I think I got this in some sort of bundle. I only really explored the maps and my favorites were dmc_dm6, dmc_e1m2, and p_se_3. I didn't really much care for the other ones since they felt too small. They channel that medieval feel that I like from the Quake games. P.S. If you have issues starting the game, make sure to verify the game files again. I had that problem and I heard it had something to do with corrupted data. If it still doesn't work after that, I'm not sure what the next step is.
Quake Half Life
крутая игра нет слов
Good game! Just wish people played it more
Para eso es mucho mejor comprarse Quake . Lo compré porque soy tremendo fanboy de Valve, pero sinceramente no tiene mucho sentido comprar juegos como Team Fortress Classic, Deathmatch Classic o Ricochet. No desperdicien su dinero en esto. Hay opciones mucho mejores, como Half-Life u otros juegos que realmente valen la pena.
Динамичный шутер от Valve, созданный в дань уважения первому Quake. Это классический онлайн шутер бой насмерть на движке GoldSrc (переделанный Quake Engine), сочетающий безумную скорость перемещения с узнаваемыми моделями и звуками из Half-Life.Идеальный выбор для тех, кто хочет поностальгировать, побегать с ракетницей и распрыгаться на старых аренах.
Deathmatch Classic (DMC): The Quake-Engine Experiment Released by Valve in 2001, Deathmatch Classic is the ultimate "historical curiosity" in the GoldSrc library. It was Valve's attempt to recreate the fast-paced, high-mobility gameplay of Quake within their own engine as a tribute to the pioneers of the genre. The Gameplay: High-Octane Agility If you are coming from modern tactical shooters, DMC will feel like playing a game in fast-forward. It is stripped of all "realism" and tactical pretension. * Movement is King: This is a pure movement shooter. You have rocket jumping, bunny hopping, and air-strafing. The entire game is built around maintaining momentum. If you stop moving, you die—usually via a well-placed rocket blast. * The Arsenal: It is the classic Quake loadout: the Nailgun, the Super Shotgun, the Rocket Launcher, and the Lightning Gun. There are no weapon upgrades, no tactical equipment, and no team classes. It is pure, unfiltered "run-and-gun." * Mechanical Purity: Because the game relies entirely on your ability to track moving targets and predict movement, it is perhaps the single best "aim trainer" in the Valve catalog. It demands a level of twitch reflex and spatial awareness that makes standard shooters feel sluggish by comparison. The Current State: A Ghost Town As of July 2026, Deathmatch Classic is effectively a museum relic. * Population: It is almost entirely unpopulated. You will not find "lobbies" or "matchmaking." If you want to play, you are either joining a server with a couple of die-hard legacy players or setting up a local server to practice your movement mechanics. * The Aesthetic: It maintains the "clean," high-contrast aesthetic of the late 90s/early 2000s. It lacks the modern "visual noise" (clutter, post-processing, lens flares) that plagues current titles. If you are aiming for a "clean terminal" branding, the simple, sharp geometry of DMC is pure visual inspiration. The Verdict: Why It Belongs in Your Library * Pros: It is the most honest, skill-based shooter ever made. It does not reward you for sitting in a corner; it rewards you for being faster and more precise than your opponent. * Cons: It is dated, empty, and physically demanding. It is not a game you "play" in the modern sense; it is a game you practice.
