Ok, for the hell of it, I fired it up for a few minutes, and yeah, there is an off-hand grappling hook.
I admit that I haven't played it very long yet, so maybe I'm missing stuff..., but for the moment, I'm still wondering "Why?". I mean, why make this game? Because, _so far at least_ I'm not seeing enough of a game play difference between it and Quake/UT and/or already existing Quake/UT mods, to justify the amount of effort these folks are going through.
Don't get me wrong, I compliment them on how much they've accomplished, but so far anyway the end result game-play-wise seems to be pretty much already available, and perhaps even with better looking results.
I realize it's free, but older games like Quake and UT are pretty darn cheap.
Anyway, not trying to rain on their parade, just being honest and wondering why they are going through the trouble. Maybe it's more about the hobby of creating it, than it is about the actual end result?
