April 10, 1998
 
Are you tired of the frustration? Endless hours wasted looking for that magic document that will just tell you how to play Quake 2 over the Internet! Does it even exist?

It does...

Welcome to Deathmatch 101. The complete newbie's guide to Quake 2 multiplayer. No prior Internet gaming experience required. Deathmatch 101 walks you through, step-by-step, the often complex task of playing Quake 2 over the Internet. Everthing is explained in plain, easy to understand English.

You'll cover all the topics, from deathmatch basics, to Gamespy, to the best Quake 2 mods like Capture the Flag. Deathmatch 101 takes the gentle approach, but doesn't hide the complex topics from you. This special "off-line version" makes reading and distributing the tutorial easier than ever.

So what are you waiting for? Slap a few fresh shells into your shotgun and lets get to the carnage!

About the Off-Line Version
The version of "Deathmatch 101" that you are reading now is the off-line version. The off-line version is essentially the same version that can be found on the web at:
http://www.planetquake.com/deathmatch101

Essentially I've just taken the entire site and made it so you can browse off your hard drive, instead of off my web site. No speed problems there! Of course that means that any links to outside sites won't work unless you are connected to the Internet when you click them. Links that point to local files however will still work just fine.

The DemoPak that is normally downloaded off my site has been included with this tutorial for your convenience. Just look for the file demopak.zip in your "DM101" directory (or wherever you extracted this tutorial).

Please also note that regular updates, corrections, and additions are made to the web site (www.planetquake.com/deathmatch101) first. Corrections will then be made to the off-line version in the form of patches. A patch is released once there are a significant amount of corrections that need to be made. Look for the patches at the Deathmatch 101 web site.
