History Recap / QuakeHoney

-> ''"An old, abandoned village lies in front of you, and a large church looms overhead. It appears to have been empty for quite some time, but what caused this? Enter the church and its depths below and find out in Honey, a two map addon by Christian Grawert, a senior level designer at MachineGames, and one of the most renowed Quake mappers under the alias czg. Released in 2012, Honey was an instant hit, and is often seen on best of lists in the Quake community. Honey stays close to the original Quake formula, but allows zombies to be chopped up with the axe, introducing a new way to kill them if you are lacking in rockets. Certain doors are now also gated by explosives, which creates an interesting twist in progression. Honey is definitely a must play, and be sure to stick around after for the thrilling conclusion!"''

The pack is comprised of four levels ("Ghost Town", "Sheer Hellish Miasma", "Constantly No Respect" and "Sweating Beneath a Big Top") that task Ranger with restoring an abandoned town's water supply.

* BookEnds: A twisted version of the trope: you enter into a figurative ghost village and end up re-populating the village with ''literal'' ghosts.

* GhostTown: Due to the replacement of water by poison, when Ranger arrives in the area, there are no people around. Becomes this in a literal manner once the water supply has been reestablished, as the town is populated with the ghosts of the deceased inhabitants.

* LighterAndSofter: The story for this addon is rather silly in nature, and even features friendly ghosts in an abandoned town.
* LudicrousGibs: Unlike in the base game, Zombies can be gibbed with the Axe.

** The fountain near the beginning of the first level is surrounded with warning messages of the "Do not drink!", "Poison", "Stay away" kind.
** After collecting your first Secret item, the map will tell you that sometimes secret items can be located by the sounds they emit. But only on the easier difficulties.
* TempleOfDoom: "Sheer Hellish Miasma" takes place in one, fittingly titled "The Lost Temple" in its level hub entrance.
* TrickShotPuzzle: Unique to this mod are "Rocket Locks"; crosshair-shaped panels that only activate when shot at with explosives such as rockets or grenades.

* BaitAndSwitch: Upon completing the two levels & reestablishing the water supply, Ranger travels through the clean waterway back to the church above.
