Vortex (also known as Pvmtex or Sporetex as of 4.3) is a free mod for Quake2 with RPG elements that has been been released since 1999. Even though the game is completely free, some guy has actually donated $50. The developer most likely bought alcohol with the money.
The game's most prevalent feature is the absurd amount of AI monsters. The game is plagued with DOS commands so much that 90% of the newbs can't figure out how to log in to the game, since it's so unclear and unfriendly because the developer is drunk most of the time and gets an erection when coding more AI. Good luck joining.
black person made a Vortex version for your web browser. It requires no downloads and it's a pretty damn accurate remake.

Gameplay
—The message you will see the most. | ||
The main goal is to kill your enemies to gain experience points to level-up. You are granted ability and weapon points. Using these to purchase some unique abilities and upgrade your weapons, but be careful, don't put any thought into your build or your whole character will be nerfed in no time.
Don't forget, vote for PVP.
Classes
Vortex has a class system. Each class has class specific skills which can be upgraded to a higher level. They also come with talents that are completely useless and gimmicky since the latest update.
Here's the list of all the Vortex classes.
- Soldier: Horrible class that either camps with grenades or becomes a glass cannon.
- Poltergeist: Most broken class ever. It can morph into monsters that come with 10x more health than all other classes with lolwut resist and regen. Their talents are all based on PVM so all PVM-tards can use this class and whore on AI.
- Vampire: A class that excels at leeching life from enemies and staying alive which is redundant since almost all classes have access to the vampire ability. Only reason to pick this class is for its lolwut health and imbalanced talents.
- Mage: Soldier's magical counterpart, this class can cast spells dealing over 9000 damage. Typically built stupidly spreading its ability points on several spells. Talents are dumb and unoriginal.
- Engineer: Engineer was intended to be a camper class with its sentries and autocannons. The engineer is the best PVP class ever made without using any of those. It has the 2nd highest health and armor value in the game with a skill that gives you auto-aim. Good job.
- Knight: Knights can only use the worst weapon: the Sword. The tankiest class, having over 600 health and armor, but because the game sucks dick, he still dies in 1 shot.
- Cleric: Cleric is the 2nd worst class. Everything about this class sucks except for the health and armor value and the Purge talent. Way to go.
- Necromancer: This class was intended to fight by summoning monsters. It is now used to oneshot players with a very balanced combination of the skills: cripple and lower resist, dealing over 750 unpreventable and unreduced damage with auto aim, not bad.
- Shaman: Shaman is the shittiest class. It used to own with haste, a skill which granted 2x the fire rate, but GHz thought the best solution would be to remove the haste skill from the class itself.
- Alien: Ummm, see: Gloom.
Abilities
Once you've leveled up you are awarded with 2 ability points. You can choose where and when to invest those points by yourself. Vortex contains over 100 abilities but only a small percentage of them are useful or even worth upgrading.
Here's the full list of all the Vortex abilities. It's more detailed than the original Vortex encyclopedia found on the official website.
- Vitality: raises your max health and health per level. The amount depends on your class (Eg. vitality for soldiers sucks cock since they gain like 1 extra health per level.)
- Regen: only worth upgrading if you're a knight. Level 10 gives 20 health per second which is actually pretty OP.
- Resist: decreases the amount of damage you take. Pretty solid ability if you ask me.
- Strength: increases the amount of damage you give. Not bad.
- Haste: no words can describe how fucking horrible this piece of shit ability is. Level 5 is like 1% faster fire rate and it's capped at level 7.
- Vampire: damaging foes will give you health. Kinda sucks, because it's no instant leech anymore.
- Jetpack: not worth upgrading, comes free with the Necromancer class. It makes you fly...how about you just upgrade the Flyer skill which costs 1000 less cubes and even grants a smaller hitbox, health regen and costs 3 ability points less.
- Cloak: stand still and you'll turn invisible. Pussies use this to hide when they are spreewarring.
- Knock weapon: deal damage and there will be a chance your enemy's weapon will be knocked off from his hands.
- Armor upgrade: reduces the amount of armor lost when taking damage. This skill makes people cry because they wonder why their weapons deal shit damage.
- Ammo stealer: fucking terrible, it's a spell that steals a small percentage of ammo from your enemy. Just get EMP which costs less cubes, can be spammed and actually destroys ALL the ammo even at level 1.
- ID: not worth upgrading, you get it for free when your character reaches level 5. With this you can see other players their health, armor and if they're a virgin or not.
- Max ammo: increases the amount of ammo and power cubes you can hold.
- Grappling hook: shoots a blue laser (the game calls it a hook, makes no sense) which attaches the user to walls and ceilings.
- Supply station: a depot which can hold over 9000 ammo and armor. One touch grants instant ammo and armor and is OP.
- Auto-Quad: once you've made 10 kills without dying you'll be granted with quad damage for 1 second.
- Auto-Invin: same as auto-quad, but with invulnerability.
- Power shield: use your cells (ammo) to take less damage. Sucks.
- Detonate body: piece of shit ability. Don't even talk about it.
- Ghost: when upgraded there's a chance the damage you take will be reduced to 0. Your appearance changes and you'll be transparant when you have ghost upgraded.
- Salvation aura: increases your resistance by some aura. Costs power cubes so you must spend 2 extra ability points to make this ability work correctly.
- Force wall: creates a green wall of magic which can either burn enemies or block. The best way to use this skill is in invasion mode. Create a solid forcewall in front of all the players' sentries, monsters, etc. All shots will be blocked and monsters will rape the base.
- Ammo regen: regenerates ammo for the user. This is the only skill that is hard capped at 5 even with runes, because this skill is ¨overpowered¨. Happens when the developer is drunk most of the time.
- PC regen: regenerates power cubes for the user. This ability is a must.
- Lasers: only helpfull against monsters and BS!/Ivan. They like to abuse a certain laser bug which gives 5000 experience points per second.
- H/A pickup: increases the value of health/armor pickups. Pretty good.
- Sentry guns: a sentry gun that will fight for you. People get a boner when they see their sentry shooting at other AI.
- Boost spell: boost yourself with alot of velocity and reach high spots. Global cooldown after using boost: 30 minutes.
- Parasite: morph into a parasite monster and jump around like a retard. The leech attack ignores all types of armor and resist and goes for the enemy health. It still sucks though.
- Proxy grenade: place a grenade on the wall and when the enemy comes near the grenade explodes. Makes a very annoying 150 decibel beep. The ability itself sucks by the way.
- Monster summon: summon monsters that will fight for you. People love this skill because they have AI monsters that will fight for them.
- Superspeed: move 2x faster while wasting 700 cubes per second.
- Armor regen: it's better to wait for one armor shard to respawn than upgrading this ability...
- Bomb spell: spam magic grenades like a fucking moron. The damage isn't even good, it's the spam of explosion sounds that is annoying as fuck.
- Chain lightning: see: Diablo 2...just upgrade railgun.
- Mirror: make clones of yourself to confuse your enemy. Your enemy must have an IQ below 70 to get confused. This ability is pretty good since the majority of the Vortex community gets confused by this ability.
- Holyfreeze aura: creates a freezing aura that slows down enemies around you. This ability is hilarious at level 15. Another skill people cry about.
- World resist: reduce the damage taken from the world, such things as lava, fall damage and global warming.
- Bullet resist: receive less damage from bullets.
- Shell resist: same as bullet resist, but from shells.
- Energy resist: gain resistance against energy based damage like hyperblaster bolts.
- Piercing resist: receive less damage from piercing weapons like railgun.
- Splash resist: explosions will do less damage. So many gimmicky abilities lol, all these x resist abilities.
- Cacodemon: Doom rip off. Insane regen, insane damage, can fly...what do you want more?
- Plague: infest everyone with AIDS and hide. Damage is based on the enemy's max health.
- Corpse eater: the name of this skill makes no sense since you can also eat living players. Each bite gives health and goes over your max health.
- Hell spawn: another Doom rip off, way to go...it's a flying AI skull that does bullshit damage and is hard to kill.
- Beam: shoot a green laser which does crap damage. Good thing: it doens't use power cubes, it has its own charge meter.
- Brain: morph into a Quake2 brain. The most cheap morph of all, it has the highest DPS of all abilities/weapons and comes with free power shield that scales with the brain level. Not OP at all.
- Mag mine: a piece of magnet you throw to the ground and everyone near will be pulled towards the magnet.
- Cripple: a skill that's not supposed to kill, it's used to HELP killing an enemy, nuff said.
- Magic bolt: shitty bolt made of magic which can be spammed and does mediocre damage.
- Teleport: teleport a few units forward. You can teleport through walls and ceilings. OP.
- Nova: creates a small explosion where you stand at. Shit sucks badly, get blessed hammer.
- Exploding armor: create fake armor that explodes when an enemy gets near, but it's very obvious it's fake because what armor has a big fucking red shell around it?
- Mind absorb: a passive ability that does shit damage every 100 seconds to players nearby. Also steals cubes.
- Life drain: a curse that drains health for several seconds. Don't upgrade it.
- Amp damage: overpowered curse that makes other players receive 3x more damage.
- Curse: change the enemy's vision to the one GHz has while coding.
- Bless: bless yourself for 3000 cubes and get alot of shit which sucks and no one cares about.
- Weaken: reduce the speed and strength of your enemy to theirs IRL for a few seconds. Sucks.
- Healing: a spell that heals yourself or other players. Only usefull to get rid of plague.
- Yin spirit: summon a white ball that eats corpses which gives you health, armor and ammo. What the fuck was the developer thinking?
- Yang spirit: worst ability ever. Summons a yellow ball that shoots 10 damage blaster bolts at enemies. The yang spirit's accuracy is laughable.
- Flyer: morph into a Quake2 flyer and get ready to camp.
- Mutant: morph into a Quake2 mutant and jump around the map hoping for a kill. Got nerfed for no reason (no more health vamp).
- Morph mastery: become a pro at morphing and get extra features for your upgraded morphs. Useless.
- Napalm: throw a grenade which explodes 500 times and spams 8000 flames and makes everyone overflow.
- Tank: morph into a Quake2 tank. It's slow as hell and sucks since its resist got removed.
- Medic: morph into a Quake2 medic. It used to own but since the poltergeist change it sucks now.
- Meteor: broken spell which does 4000 damage and the flames do 100 damage per second.
- Autocannon: create a cannon which shoots to enemies to the location it's aimed at. Invasion mode fags' favorite ability.
- Blessed hammer: spam 10 blessed hammers in 1 second for only 100 power cubes which do 800 damage each. OP.
- Fire totem: summons a totem which shoots fire to enemies. Causes overflows, because it spams 100 flames per second.
- Water totem: a totem which slows down enemies. The best totem of all.
- Air totem: this totem absorbs damage you take. Could be a pro totem if only the air totem had more health.
- Earth totem: the earth totem increases your strength. Doesn't stack with ANYTHING so don't even bother upgrading this unless you're a shaman.
- Darkness totem: emo totem which vamps 0.0001% health when you damage someone. Sucks.
- Nature totem: a totem for tree huggers which regenerates health and armor. It only heals like 10 health and 5 armor every 5 seconds, not worth it.
- Fury: deal damage and there will be a chance you'll become the fury. When you're in fury mode you'll regenerate health, armor and you'll deal 2x damage. Pretty solid ability. Newbs say it's OP.
- Totem mastery: gives your totems 10 more health, woohoo!
- Berserker: morph into a Quake2 berserker. Good for raping AI monsters since it deals 5000 damage per punch. Use it to annoy PVM players and steal all their kills.
- Shield: create a shield which blocks all the damage from the front. Pretty good, but not worth upgrading.
- Caltrops: lay spikes on the ground which deal lolwut damage. Just hope for retards to walk over them because they can be avoided easily.
- Spike grenade: throw a floating grenade which shoots spikes. Used to rape because it couldn't be killed, but crybabies were involved and it got nerfed.
- Detector: place detectors on the wall and nearby enemies will glow yellow. All projectiles shot by the detector owner will follow the detected players (see: auto-aim). This ability made alot of people cry and it needed 3 nerfs in total. It takes 5 seconds now to make 1 detector rofl.
- Conversion: steal AI. Skill is broken and only works on 10% of all AI abilities in the game.
- Deflect: cast a spell which makes you deflect projectiles. Sucks because it's broken and doesn't stack with certain abilities.
- Scanner: if you want to overflow, use this ability.
- EMP: PVM-tards' favorite ability. You can spam EMP grenades which completely stun monsters for a few seconds. It also blows up ammo, so it can be used to piss of players by blowing up all the ammo in the map.
- Double jump: make a second jump mid air. Not worth upgrading.
- Lower resist: same as amp damage, but even more broken.
- Fireball: just the same as magic bolt, but with gravity and flames.
- Plasma bolt: another magic bolt clone, but this one bounces. It used to own but again, people were crying and it got nerfed.
- Lightning storm: summon a lightning storm which does insane damage and can be spammed all around the map.
- Mirv grenade: ear rape ability. Throw a grenade which explodes into 8 more grenades. Sucks.
- Spike: throws 3 spikes which stuns enemies. Crappy ability.
- Wormhole: create a wormhole to noclip outside the map. Another ability used by spreewarring pussies to hide.
- Spiker: a Gloom spiker which shoots spikes to enemies. Stolen.
- Healer: another Gloom feature. Very shitty ability, don't even try.
- Obstacle: Gloom obstacle...turns invisible and does 1000 damage per second when an enemy touches it. Pretty fair right?
- Gasser: sigh, another Gloom ability...this one is just overpowered. You can spreewar with level 1 gassers easily. If someone gets close to a gasser it shits out a big cloud of poison which deals 3000 damage per second.
- Cocoon: a big ugly cocoon you can summon. When you step into the cocoon you'll gain more strength and resistance. Very strong.
- Acid: throw vomit at enemies. Pretty solid damage.
- Spore: the infamous spore. When this skill got introduced 90% of the player base left because it was so stupidly overpowered. It summons a ball with spikes which follow enemies and deal 2000 damage if they hit. The spores can't die unless you have explosives. Sporetex was fun untill it got nerfed. Spores suck now so don't waste your ability points on it.
That's about it. If you ever need information about Vortex abilties check out this page. If you see someone asking questions about certain abilities, link them to this article. Fuck the Vortex encyclopedia on the official website, that one is unfinished and is inaccurate.
Game Modes
Vortex has a few game modes which can be voted by the players.
- Player versus Player (PVP): The most fun and rewarding game mode. You fight against other players here. Unfortunately the majority of the remaining player base disagrees with the lack of AI monsters in this mode because they usually get owned.
- Player versus Monster (PVM): The most popular game mode. The server spawns monsters in the map and you must kill them, so much fun. Note: Doesn't actually exist anymore since the new combat system, see: FFA.
- Capture the Flag (CTF): Just camp and hope that your team knows how to capture flags.
- Free for All (FFA): A combination of PVP and PVM. It's an extremely stupid and annoying game mode. All of the PVP players will get blocked by newb monsters. This game mode can be abused by helping your PVP friends by healing them and shit while you're in PVM mode and blocking all your enemies, since they can't hurt you.
- Invasion (INV): You must protect your base from incoming AI monsters. They will kill your spawns and if they all died you lose. If you survive the whole 20 minutes you will win and will be awarded 1000 experience points. Dumbest mode ever and a complete waste of time.
- Domination (DOM): You must hold the enemy flag for long as possible, if you die you'll lose the flag. Worst experience points ever. Kills give 1 experience point and the flag you hold gives like 2 experience points every 10 seconds.

Crying
Vortex is serious business. It's a pretty frustrating game but if you keep getting raped without making a single kill, it's because:
- A: You fail at Vortex.
- B: You only target the strongest char in the game.
- C: You fail at life and your name is BS!/Ivan and PVM 24/7.
Anyway, BS! is Black Hole in the logs below and Ivan is Agony. You might have figured that out by yourself by just looking at those cheesy names.

This is what makes Vortex fun. Moar PVP please.
Ivan's case
Ivan is a Vortex player known for playing PVM every day. His playing time ranges from 6.0 to 12.0 hours PVM a day. If he ever plays PVP and constantly gets raped by the same player over and over again, he will assault the forums with crying, PMing the admins, whining, bitching and more. Here is a bit of his Vortex life story.
Summary:
- Nickname: Ivan
- Real name: Isaac Abner
- Age: 29
- Job: none
- Lives at: his mommy
- Fails: yes
- Playing time: over 6 months (in hours)
- Friends: Jordan, because he's a pothead aswell
- Enemies: everyone
- Sucks at Vortex: yes
All these stats are confirmed by his brother, BS!. He also gave 50$ to GHz which wasn't needed AT ALL (probably for sucking up, he claims to keep the servers alive).
Ivan has like 10 level 25 characters (max level as of 4.7) and all of them reached that level by PVMing 3000 hours long and bug abusing. Usually (for normal players) it takes a few months to reach level 25 (excluding polts and bug abusing). This Ivan guy got level 25 in 1 week by PVMing nonstop on a necromancer, three times.
He is a ¨professional artist¨ and he works under his own label: Piss-Skull Studio.
—Cut the crap Ivan, it IS fucking anime style. Be original. | ||
Ivan hates everyone:
Looking at Ivan's private messages, he sure hates a large number of the Vortex community. He's also a fucking suck up to the admins.
If anyone is right about something, Ivan gets mad. He also gets mad when he gets raped in-game without making a single kill. He must be insecure or some emo/goth faggot.
The second option would fit the best, just look at the nicknames he uses: Anger, Agony, Violence...stop being an emo fuck, damn. All those characters are necromancers aswell, with all the same fucking build. Speaking of wasting your time.
He also makes use of the friends/foes feature on the forums. Can't handle the truth? Is the foes feature your only escape?
Here are a few private messages he sent:
—Sent to someone he got owned by on the forums. | ||

Ivan got caught cheating:
Somewhere in mid-July, Ivan and his bro got caught abusing a serious bug. Ivan claims he saw 3 other players abuse the same bug earlier, but he had absolutely no proof and quit Vortex. After that, Ivan has been hacked. His password was HIS FUCKING LAST NAME. His forum password was his favorite entitiy in Vortex: monster. With access to his forum account, you could see all the private messages he sent and received.
Rule is simple: Do not gain experience points, credits, or items that you didn’t earn. The most common offense of this kind is dummy killing, whereby players kill one another without fighting. Another example is capturing the flag in CTF without opposition (e.g. the teams agree to capture each other’s flag without fighting). This is a serious offense and usually gets your character deleted (or worse).
Let's take a look at the private messages he sent to the admins.
—Cry motherfucker, there's so much proof you abused the bug just stfu. | ||

His brother gets mad:
Ivan and his brother shared the same characters. Ivan quit, but his brother BS! kept playing. Here is his reaction when he finds out that he can't access some of his characters and notices that all his runes are gone (he got hacked):
—And thanks alot BS! for the pro runes. | ||
What a hypocrite, earlier that week he said this:
—Fail. | ||

Shitstorm
Things are getting pretty damn serious, 6 months after the epic cries and lulz, Ivan makes a comeback and finds about this article.
He is not amused:
—Shit, wat do? | ||
Oh yeah, you care so much about your personal info so you've made a Facebook account? Ok.
This PM was sent to an admin, here is the admin's reply:
—O shi- | ||
But that's not all, a few weeks later Ivan replies to the admin's PM, prepare for some epic laughs:
—tl;dr - We're going to jail. | ||
Well good luck, see you 30th of March. PS: yes we fucked up the dox, it wasn't BS!'s dox, but hey, welcome back Ivan!
