                               A Farewell to Quake II

			-------------------------------------


1.0 Introduction

Well, Quake III is on its way and Quake II and The Edge are soon to be retired for good.  One of the great things about Quake II is the unique physics model that allows all sorts of tricks to be accomplished, and no other map has as many as The Edge.  I've seen lots of Q2DM1 tutorials, and if you're like me, you've also spent countless hours trying new tricks with friends and watching masters amaze you with their l33t moves.  Before I wiped Q2 from my hard drive (yeah right, I'm being dramatic here) I decided to put together the definitive collection of Q2DM1 tricks.  Sit back and watch the show, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

3.0 Credits / Greets

[NM]Gaz0line	- for doing some of the jumps I couldn't.  (How frustrating!)
Decker[NME]	- for offering to do the logo in PhotoShop.  ;)
Overman 	- for letting me rip some samples from Father Frags Best.
UNR Jump Centre	- www.planetquake.com/jumps  Go there!  At first it was very tempting to include all their jumps in Epic, it was a personal challenge of sorts.  After all, "I can do anything THEY did!"  But seriously, these guys made an awesome demo and I don't think it would be fair to steal their work.  So, I basically drew the line like this: If I had seen the trick as "general knowledge" on public servers, or had already mapped it out before seeing their demo, I included it.  If I had never seen or thought of the trick before, I didn't bother trying to "steal" it.  (The double-jump from the boxes directly to the right-hand light and to SH is one I had mapped out long ago but have yet to complete.  Good work, guys!)  So if you're wondering why (at least) 3 tricks are in the UNR demo and not in Epic, it's not because I don't know them.  It's because UNR invented them and you need to download Epic *and* the UNR demo to see EVERYTHING possible on DM1.  Good work guys!


4.0 What's missing

Here's what is missing and what I think is possible but have yet to pull off:

1. The UNR jump from near SH to halfway down the stairs to the rocks.  Nice move!
2. The UNR jump from boxes to right-hand light to SH.  I always hit my head here!
3. The UNR RJ from the bridge to the hyperblaster.  Nice.
4. The jump from the stairs to the boxes to YA without touching ground.  <YAWN>
5. Stand at the stairs below SSG, double-jump to SSG platform.  Is it possible?!?
6. Stand at shards by rocks.  Double-jump to the ledge.  Is it possible?!?
7. Stand at gray armor, turbo run and jump from grenade to bridge.  Possible?!?!
