Converted2: The Hanger — AirQuake2 Picture of the Day Archive, by Rudi Muiznieks

"September, 1999 — Godag alla barn! Nu sitter jag i skolan och skriver på svenska. Jag skriver på svenska för att jag inte är så bra på engelska. Kul med update ibland :) Try to translate that. (it's in swedish) Bjoern told me he is going to release the first 'public' beta of the new airquake2 in about 11 hours. I can't wait to se it :)"

Incredible Tech — Clan [IT] LMCTF Match Screenshots, by Cygor

"Clan [IT] is made up of a bunch of guys who love to play Quake and love a good challenge. We are probably older than most people playing, but we like that. We have played Q2 and now Q3A. We mostly play Q3A Instagib CTF, but will play other types. We have a variety of guys here. We program our own mods, have our own skins, and design our own levels. We also have our own server. We are about dedication, having fun, and kicking some major ass. If you'd like to get your ass kicked by us, or if you think you want to be a part of Clan [IT], e-mail me. -Cygor"

Telefragged: Avatar — McCandlish Base, Blast Packaramathon, and Target Quake, by Avatar

"I think we all know what time it is. Yes, its time to have an old school deathmatch Quake2 beat down. No more of that pansy 'let's run patterns on a goliath 4000 brush map and see who has da skillz', its time to bust loose in some way way down to earth arena style smack down bakeries. Yes, its time for the Blast-Packaramathon. 10 tightly packed, quickly learned, storage places of mass carnage. 10 frags a minute and no place to hide."

The Evolution of a Quake Map, by Caitiri — featuring Samurai Castles / Japanese Castles, by Mike g1zm0 Burbidge

"Samurai Castles by g1zm0 was part of the original Q2CTF L-Fire Map Pak beta release, but was removed from the final release after g1zm0 decided it needed a lot more work before he would be satisfied with it as a map. It ended up taking another 8 months before making its final entrance in the Q2 world, just before Q3 appeared on shelves. Out of all the L-Fire maps, it is the only one that has been ported to Q3, and by the original author. It is also the #1 played custom CTF map, and has just been voted into OGL's map pak (only one of three to make the cut). You can download the final Q2 version and the Q3 verions at Team 3's website (and be sure to go vote for the Q3 incarnation over at Lvl)."
