Скачать или смотреть What Makes This Weapon Great Ep.03: Quake 2 Railgun

This is episode three of “What Makes This Weapon Great?”

Join me as we take a quick dive into what makes the Railgun from Quake 2 great! We’ll be checking out its stats, art, design, as well as its tech.

The Quake 2 Railgun is a masterpiece of balance. It gives you the power of an FPS god, but only if you have the aim of a surgeon. It’s honest and it’s brutal.

It’s the ultimate expression of skill in the arena shooter, and it’s arguably the most "perfect" weapon id Software ever designed.
