It seems to me that an understood problem in the Quake 2 sp is the fact that the monsters simply react too slowly, or have low pain thresholds a la the spiderdemon in Doom that keep them from attacking the player. Some of this has been dealt with by frame skipping for some monsters, such as the Maiden.
However, I would think it would hugely affect gameplay if there was a simply cl_fastmonsters cvar that multiplied monster reaction time and movespeed by a factor of 1.5 or thereabouts. Perhaps even make it a scalable variable.
Does this pose a problem, and is there something I'm not seeing? Otherwise it would seem to be a fairly straightfoward operation.
