The famous REQUIEM patch, now has it's own WEB SITE!!!



http://requiem.powernet.com.au



Requiem is a new Quake patch designed to enhance the qualities of Quake.



It contains over twenty weapons, using some new and old favourites, like


the


flame-thrower, freeze-gun, guided-missile and the famous BFG-9000...



It also includes totally new BOTs. These bots can use all the weapons and


items,


and range in skill levels. They're not the smartest roaming BOTs, but in


combat,


they'd definitely make the REAPERs look twice...



CTF and CTF-MP are also supported for those CTF fanatics. You can play


the normal CTF against your friends, or try the new MP (manual placement)


option to allow both teams to set their own flag/base locations...



But that's not all...



There's also in-game extras like, jetpacks, runes, jumping boots,


radar, holograms, random item spawning and even more...



This is one patch you have to see to believe! You can also read the TEXT


file online.
