People talking about how clients 'feel' different sounds kinda stupid to me. And even if you DID bother fucking around with nothing but PCX and TGA's, it'd still turn out looking kinda shitty. And the stock client didn't support PNG and JPG and GIF images, so unless you wanted to use the finite handful of colors on the Quake2 color palette and convert all your modded textures to shitty PCX or TGA, you couldn't really do much. Then again, back then people didn't really know the word 'client', the stock Quake2 client was just called 'Quake2'. Yeah, had I known then what I know now about pak files, I wouldn't have been playing bone stock Quake2 back then.
