The end result is unmistakable – the ultimate version of Quake that elevates it to a new level. This mod also overhauls the AI and arsenal, tweaking balance and adding features to maximize their potential and balance. The best feature of Nightmare mode is the new enemy spawns, which really feels like how the game should’ve been all along. Be sure to play it on Nightmare mode, which this mod finally makes worthwhile.
In any case, this means Quake Combat Plus guarantees the best looking (frame rate aside) and, most importantly, the best playing version of Quake. But the engine does not support frame rates over 60 as the engine only updates 60 times per second at most.
It just so happens that Darkplaces has the best graphics quality by far of any version of Quake, enabling fully path traced global illumination even. Quake Combat Plus is an addon for Quake 1.5, which requires the Darkplaces source port (July to August 2017 builds only). The recent remaster of Quake is generally inferior, with the only benefit being the engine’s support for frame rates beyond 60. Quake Combat Plus (QCP) is the ultimate way to play Quake. We are also not focusing on excellent engine source ports since those make minimal gameplay changes relatively speaking, e.g.
Note that in this article we’re looking at overhaul mods, not just unofficial patches or graphics mods. In this article, we will highlight examples of overhaul mods that come closest to perfection mods that are not lightweight in what they change, yet they’re so good that they make it incredibly difficult to find a good reason to play unmodded. But for every essentially perfect overhaul mod, there are a hundred flawed ones. One that is meant to merely improve the default, vanilla experience via gameplay enhancements and often times engine enhancements and/or artistically consistent visual/audio improvements as well. Every now and then, a near-perfect modification is made for a game.
