The Enhanced Version of Quake 2 is really awesome, specially the new rendered fmv's at the beginning of each campaign, and thank you very much for providing it for everyone who already had the original title!
it had been years since I played Quake 2 for the last time, so I'm a bit rusty for how it used to play normally, but something in the machine gun wasn't 100% right, I've felt it lacked some recoil. So I installed the original Quake 2 and noticed exactly that, the machine gun has a heavy kickback that requires the player to control it's recoil with the mouse.
Even the manual says that:
"Machine Gun: Although this weapon is easy to use, its light weight allows for considerable kickback that will push your gun up. Fire in short burst until you can effectively steady your aim."
I dind't find anything related in the options to re-enable this feature, was it discarted from the enhanced edition altogether?
