  • Best Expansion Episode For Quake

    Note: all of these are free except the first two. Download links should be on the provided linked page for each.

    This isn't a complete list, it is just a list of the ones I've tried/know about.

    I'm defining Episode as an add-on of custom maps that has to be multi-level.

    1. Scourge of Armagon (aka Mission Pack 1)



    One of the two official expansion packs for Quake.

    2. Dissolution of Eternity



    One of the two official expansion packs for Quake.

    3. Zerstorer: The Destroyer



    http://www.planetquake.com/quake1/fe...00-01-03.shtml

    4. Insomnia



    http://teamshambler.planetquake.game...rev010103.html

    5. Operation Urth Majik



    http://teamshambler.planetquake.game...rev010727.html

    6. Nehahra



    http://teamshambler.planetquake.game...ev000911a.html

    7. Duke of Ontaranto



    http://www.planetquake.com/underworl...rev040717.html

    8. The Rapture



    http://teamshambler.planetquake.game...rev010919.html

    9. Contract Revoked



    http://teamshambler.planetquake.game...rev010720.html

    ---
    And these are the main ones I know of. Considering all the great single player episodes that have been made for Quake, I'm sure there are at least 20 worthy ones that I didn't mention.

    Feel free to mention ones that I should have listed/not listed.

    Beyond Belief
    The Lost Chapters
    Coven of Ebony
    several small ones by Kona (Guncotton etc)

    Beyond Belief is oldschool with _great_ gameplay.
    Lost Chapters is the recent follow-up to Contract Revoked.
    Coven of Ebony is hard and some custom monsters are a bit crappy.
    The ones by Kona are often two-map mini-episodes with custom monsters.

    Do yourselves a favor and watch the easy 100% speedruns of Beyond Belief.

      The Lost Chapters is very good. I'll have to finish playing that one sometime. If I recall correctly, it was a set of disconnected independent maps that you could visit from a library.

      I got stuck on the cool one with the boat by the dock and usually try to avoid turning god mode on or otherwise cheating.

          Hehe, Soul of Evil came to mind immediately after I hit submit. This CMS doesn't allow editing of the polls after submission so I could go back.

          Mexx9 - Penumbra of Domination
          Review link at Ethereal Hell

          "There are two sides to a map - gameplay and design. Though the Mexx levels haven't been revolutionary on aesthetics, his gameplay is very well balanced for a fantastic blastfest. Penumbra of Domination is five levels of, arguably the best gameplay seen in any custom level. It is obvious Marcus puts alot of work in, with many traps and ambushes, and a constant onslaught of medium difficulty monsters. The pack sticks to its medieval theme well, using ID textures, creative architecture and large designs to give that nostalgic, old school feeling. A fantastic pack of levels, the best release of 1997."

          I know it can be downloaded at http://www.quaddicted.com as the PlanetQuake download link is broken.

            yep. IIRC you have to finish some before you can play others. But my memory might be wrong.

            Some of the levels freaked me out. Like an alone-in-the-dark freak-out.

            one bears the immortal title "he falls like Lucifer". That's the one I remember best.

              My vote is for Mexx9, definitely...

                Terra (a.k.a. the Terra Map Pack)





                We played these on FVF and they were really cool.

                  The Terra Thing map pack is a very nice map pack. Doom II style.

                    Oh heheh.....thought you were going to say something like it wouldn't count or something.

                    Gunter actually mixed Terra with another map set that he had on the server earlier so it's much longer. I want to say 10-12 episodes with them combined.

                      Any chance you can find out which maps?

                        I think he is referring to the IKS maps (Iikka sp maps). I know those run there.

                          That's it! I couldn't remember which it was.

                          I know the Ikka ones have been on FVF longer of the two sets.
