Hehe, thanks man!

Yeah the Q2 finale is pretty good, quite final too in its own way, I think it would've been better to tell the story of how he finally escaped Stroggos rather than try to make me care about Kane's Stroggification. Heck, they could've partially Stroggified Bitterman, had him be rescued by the factory being partly shut down during aerial bombardment leading to him escaping and struggling to get back to his own people without them shooting his face off or something, I dunno.

Anyway yeah, Q5 will likely be a Q1 revival, but with Doom 3 being resurrected this year it seems likely that Doom 4 will be revealed and released next year, and Q5 will be shown off and released in, oh, four or five years I'd say, complete with Q1 HD.

My favorite Quake is Q2 and its mission packs, same as you. The story and world and the Strogg captivated my 9 year old imagination back in '97, got me into liking shooting games and sci-fi simultaneously. The shooting stuff was alright, I get along with Q4's almost as well,  the backtracking isn't nearly as bad as RAGE, but I easily prefer Quake to Doom. I was too young for the first Quake so didn't play it, I might have a go if Q5 looks good mind, and Quake 3 held little to interest to me.

I really wish they'd included the two singleplayer mission packs in the Q4 special edition, it would've been great to have the complete experience, but I suppose they only needed to elucidate on Bitterman's story given how Joker and Stepchild aren't mentioned in any way.

Anyway, gotta run, catch you later! Been great chatting dude. :)
