    No way, that game was awesome! It was actually my first quake game and the story and bosses were really cool. The scene where you’re captured was so cool and brutal.

      The Strogg were such a good enemy. Loved the idea that they used body parts of enemies to make their soldiers. I’d love to see that concept with modern graphica.

        Yeah exactly! It was shocking and cool to see an alien species harvesting humans and other animals. The Strogg seemed like a real alien military society. Half Life 2 is maybe a bit similar but I have to assume you’ve played it :)

          Honestly, I wonder who would win. The strogg or the Combine. I feel the strogg with how they could make use of the bodies of Combine soldiers.

            I dunno man, the combine have access to portals and other dimensions and shit. Either way I’d pay to see that fight!
