Give me the Linkin Park Meteora playlist, the "Crash" playermodel and a Rocket Launcher and you wont see me all weekend! ts was one of my very first games, my first love 💜. i practically had to pray every time that my computer and its laggy a$$ win xp would actually launch this masterpiece so i could play it I owe a lot to Quake for my projectile damage skills, especially with the rocket launcher. i started with QUAKE and got used to its movement and shooting and it helped me with the games that came after like tf2 and ow. Oh gosh... this was so long ago.. but i still come back to this game for the memories and as a sign of respect. thank you for everything Quake. my skill is genuinely all thanks to you! your fav "Rocket-B1tch", "Spam Monkey" and "Use a skill weapon next time!" guy.
