>>211396642To be fair, many modern FPS game engines can trace back their codebase to quake 1.
Does that make those just advanced quake mods? If Total Chaos is considered a "doom mod", then COD MW2 is just a "quake mod".
if you look at earlier alpha footage of half life development, you can clearly see that it was at one stage just a quake mod with barely any changes to the stock quake engine. Pre 0.52 stuff.
