| Of all the modifications to Quake I have tested, this must be the one that brings Quake closest to reality. The players gets existing weapons, almost all of the enemies are now humans, and a bullet has become as fatal as it is in real life. So is it all improvements on regular Quake then? Well, for starters the mod does not function on maps where there are Death Knights. This leaves about 10-15 playable maps of the ones included in Quake. Furthermore, due to the realistic damage system the game has become harder. MUCH harder. To be honest I'm having problems with completing the third level in the first episode without cheating. And that is with the skill level set to Very Easy! However, there are a few things in Quake Marines that are simply great. The special Grappling Hook included is perhaps the best I've ever seen! And with the realistc atmosphere, a co-operation game should make you feel as if you were in the Navy SEALs! I don't know wheter I should recommend it or not. I guess that the only way for you to find out is to download it and see for yourselves. |
