Damn some of these missions look g o o d. I'm especially fond of Darkest Depths and Firewall. A few of the boss encounters felt far more frustrating than anything else across the entire remaster though.
The tracking on some of the beefed up Tank Commander missiles also felt kinda mean. The few times I died outside of a boss encounter often involved their missiles whipping around two sets of 90 degree corners to reach me. Be advised that Call of the Machine effectively implements even more dickish Vores back into Quake.
I wish the crossover elements were utilized more thoroughly, and the final encounter was rather underwhelming.
Overall I did really dig the tight mini-campaign anthology format that MachineGames elected to follow for their new expansion. Arguably this expansion alone makes the remaster "worth it".
