"I remember quite vividly what it was like to be a 'newbie' at Quake 2. Then, I discovered the most exciting mod in the game with true exhilerating 'run & gun' action, Loki's Minions Capture The Flag, or LMCTF! There were several veterans who took the time to help me and got me up to speed on playing the game properly. In addition, they helped me get my configs done properly, pointed me in the right direction to find information and gave me hints. Well, here's my payback, hope you find what you're looking for here, lots of information and detail. Send me a note if you find it helpful, and 'Thanks!!' for stopping by."

"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."

"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)."
