In 1997 Quake II was released ending the Strogg's collective leader the Makron being killed. Quake III moves away from the Strogg, but the universe's worst cybernetic foes return in Quake IV, ready to be destroyed yet again by Earth's forces. Quake II left the Strogg home planet without its planetary defenses, leaving it open for your attack as part of Earth's new armada. You help deliver the final assault to the Strogg as Matthew Kane, member of an elite squad fighting along squadmates with vehicles and advanced weaponary. Quake IV is based on the Doom III engine, although it is apparent that Quake IV will be a superior modding platform thanks to iD and Raven's efforts in optimizing the netcode, adding vehicles, and general fixes made to the engine since Doom III's release.

Kickflip?! ffs. That was only a little fun diversion, nothing more nothing less. That slot could've been for something actually significant like Arcane Dimensions

Airquake2 for Quake 2 really needs to be added, That mod was classic and really pushed what was possible to do in a vanilla game mod.

Powerweapons/Pwrguns is back in development for Quake 3. Faster and way more powerful weapons than Excessive +... it fell off the map for whatever reason Powerweapons v12 Pro is the first on-hand version of the game, and needs play testing for it's potential in CTF... except for q3ctf4 and various space maps.
Variations on Powerweapons v8 are coming up for grabs. The latest is Powerweapons v8 Revisited 1.0. With a profanity filter and weapons overheat adapted from Alternate Fire MOD, it's suitable for Mormons, or any member of the family old enough to kill in Q3. Weapon overheat takes a bit of the edge off of spamming and creates a different feel for the game.
