As far as I know....no one knows lol. He posted some time ago on esr just once (lets say a year) and that's it.

I asked Sync if he had heard from him a couple of months ago and he said that he hadn't :-/

Where is he :-(

He is Quake's secret weapon.

Seriously though, grappling hook would be nice in QL.

Am I the only person who's anti-grappling hook? Yes, it's cool and fun to play around with. In _fun_ games with friends.

But in competitive high-tier CTF games that I recall a decade ago, it's just another tool that highly-skilled players use to their extreme advantage. Yeah, yeah, I know, "get better". But I don't remember enjoying any of those games back in the day where a couple guys had the exact angles worked out and dominated CTF.

If/when this gets into online QL, I predict the initial excitement at its introduction to be quickly replaced with tons of whine threads similar to "LG too strong". It's a novelty at best.

Even when implemented I doubt it will enter mainstream game types.

It would change the dynamics too much.

For fun game types it could be cool. I wish it was faster though.

Same can be said about strafe jumping. Don't ruin other people's fun.

Should have plenty of hook related commands, like cpma and l-fire ctf. At this point I don't think it'll be ever released though, and if it is it'll be half assed.
