CustomTF beta in Quake 2: First ever Q2F!

CustomTF is the QuakeWorld mod where alongside the standard 9 TF classes, players are presented with the option to build a custom class, purchasing its weapons and specialities with a fixed amount of credits they are initially granted. It offers one of the most alive pub scenes in Quake, and is still being maintained by one of the few most prolific developers of its three-decades-long history, along with a FuhQuake-based dedicated client called “Prozac”.

Quake 2, some people’s favorite in the series, has never had a playable Fortress mod, let alone being blessed with their variety as Quake 1/QW is. Although there is evidence that a Quake 2 Fortress development had started and died back in the day, the mod Quake 2 is remembered by has always been Action Quake 2, the spiritual predecessor of Counter-Strike. However, for more than a year now, CustomTF is being developed for Quake 2, and is weekly getting beta-tested. The playtests were given a break during spring, but recently took off again, and is happening at Kilam’s server, quake.kesselle.org, every Thursday at 8 PM EST. Join the Prozac CustomTF Discord server for instructions on how to get the client and connect.

I think the Quake 2 engine usage for this mod really improves the experience. I invite everyone to play with us on Thursdays, even if it’s still in beta stage. It’s fun! – OfteN, Developer

The original CustomTF on QW has 15 class-building menus, each presenting 7 purchasable weapons or specialities. OfteN reports that 75% of the weapons are implemented, and overall 90% of the whole mod. They are still lacking stuff like class models, but everything will come around eventually. Join up on Thursdays to be a part of the latest Fortress expansion.
