I just discovered this Quake 1.5 mod, and love the concept. I bought Quake when it first came out and to this very day it's likely the best FPS I have ever played.
If I may add my input, one of greatest attractions for me with the older single player FPS games was the suspense and "nasty surprises" that you came to expect during game play. This to me seems lost on modern games, where it's nothing more than an intense "move from room to room and face hordes of beasts/aliens intent on killing you" style. In the old Quake I and II you could find yourself navigating through a part of the building where all you can hear is the wind, dripping water and the clink of chains. Those tense moments would then later be broken when you accidentally tripped something, opened a door or entered a certain area for example. There were a few times I jumped out of my seat (literally) when that happened, and it gave the game a feel of intelligence in my opinion. I would like to see a return to that witty style of gameplay.
Secondly, and this was a quality I found more in games like Duke Nukem, it would be nice to have weapons like booby traps that you can use (and at times need to use). Again it adds a level of strategy that is lacking in most games today.
Best of luck with the mod, I look forward to trying it out!
