| Other |
| 4U2 Clan | The 4U2 clan is a fake clan (meaning they don't have matches, just the 4U2 with their names) that started on IPA's Quake 2 server, consequently many of them are in the Arkansas-Oklahoma-Missouri area. The page lists the skins, members, and screenshots of the group. They use a visible weapons capable modified Bomberman model and were rated the number three clan on the CLQ, which is pretty good considering the group is essentially random Q2 players. Has a forum for discussing Q2 gaming issues. |
| 2015 | 2015 is a Tulsa, OK based software company that has made an addon pack for SIN and Laser Arena, a Quake one engine based game. Due to LA's target audience and it not really designed for modification, it's not really my choice game but it is a very professional effort and kind of feels like Q3A. |
| Kilrathi CS Server | A Little Rock based Counter Strike Server. Has a OC3 connection and takes statistics which are accessible via the website. |
