- I got that too!! The only thing is, I thought Quake 2 ran kind of slow
- on my 786DX8 running at 200 Mhz. I tried it at work on an Octium,
- though, and it was SLICK!! Really- you gotta have an Octium to play
- this game. It makes all the difference. Of course I don't have the
- Soundblaster THX with 7 speakers at work, so the effect is kind of
- lost.
-
- Has anyone managed to get this running in deathmatch with more than 16
- players? I think there must be some kind of bug because we tried to
- add in the 17th and everyone crashed. Hopefully there will be a patch
- soon. I'll be watching infant2....
