Play the Intense Military Sci-fi Campaign

 

Mankind is at war with the Strogg, a hostile alien race that attacked Earth. In response, humanity launched a strike on the Strogg homeworld...it failed, but you survived. Outnumbered and outgunned, fight your way through fortified military installations and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

 

Get Both of the Original Mission Packs

 

Quake II includes both original mission packs: “The Reckoning,” featuring 18 campaign levels and 7 deathmatch maps, and “Ground Zero,” featuring 15 campaign levels and 14 deathmatch maps.

 

Mission Pack: The Reckoning

 

In the first official expansion pack for Quake II, you are part of an elite commando force that must infiltrate a Strogg site. Once inside, you must scour industrial landscapes, crawl through waterways and air ducts, navigate treacherous canyons teeming with vicious mutants, stow away on an alien spacecraft, and destroy the enemy's secret moon base.

 

Mission Pack: Ground Zero

 

In the second official expansion pack for Quake II, you, and a few marines are the lucky ones. You've made it to the surface of Stroggos in one piece and are still able to contact the fleet. The Gravity Well, the Strogg's newest weapon in its arsenal against mankind, is operational. With the fleet trapped around Stroggos, only 5% of ground forces surviving, and that number dwindling by the second, your orders have changed: free your comrades and destroy the Gravity Well.

 

Play the All-New “Call of the Machine” Expansion

 

A brand-new Quake II experience from MachineGames consisting of 28 campaign levels and one multiplayer deathmatch map. In the depths of Strogg space lies the Machine, a singularity capable of collapsing the fabric of reality. Fight across time and space to find the Strogg-Maker, destroy it, and change the destiny of man and machine.

 

Get Quake II 64 for Free

 

Enjoy all 19 campaign levels, 10 multiplayer deathmatch maps, and an additional, original soundtrack in this release of the original Quake II version for Nintendo 64.

 

Enjoy Online & Local Multiplayer and CO-OP

 

Fight the hostile Strogg through the gritty, military sci-fi campaign and expansions in 4-player online or local split-screen co-op, and compete in pure, retro-style combat with support for 16-player (online),*4-player (local split-screen), or *8-player (local split-screen) matches. Bot support for offline and online DM and TDM modes included.

 

Play Together with Crossplay

 

Play the campaign and all expansion packs cooperatively or go toe-to-toe in multiplayer matches with your friends regardless of platform! Crossplay is supported among PC (controller-enabled), Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

 

Get the “Original” and “Enhanced” Versions

 

Play whichever version of Quake II you prefer. Ownership of Quake II gives you access to Quake II (Original), the fully-moddable, untouched version of the game that has been available for years, and Quake II (Enhanced), the recently released version of the game with improved visuals, all-new campaign content, enhanced multiplayer support, crossplay, controller support, and more.

Best Quake and best way to play it!

Yep going hard this is an amazing remaster and compilation of pretty much all the official addons and N64 game which is a side story. I have beaten Both PC and 64 campaigns and it was just as fun and challenging as in the 90s. Ok the reason for this is the AI has been super charged also some new scripted sequences and graphics nicely redone. I got full music or most of it for all 4 main games think Call of Machine re uses main game music. This runs flawlessly on windows 8.1 even though it says win 10 or bust. My only gripe is the achievments don't update or carry over from different computers.

Still strong

Runs great on Linux, and is still strong. I play it in local LAN with my two kids. My very old PC even runs the enhanced version - together with my children we play the original version. Music is also included.

Bugged savegames for the addons

The main game run great at 1600x1200 but the DLC are full of savegame issues.

Genuinely made me love Quake 2

I never managed to get past the early game of Quake 2 when I was younger. The addition of the compass as a re-usable item is genius for someone like me who lacks the patience of backtracking when I run out of enemies to kill and no idea where to go next. Now I've always got a tool at my disposal for whenever I get lost and its wonderful.

FPS at its finest, a golden milestone.

There ain't much to say when talking about quake II: it is simply 3D FPS at its finest. Although of all the series I personally prefer the first entry for its strange and unique settings, Quake II is absolutely perfect in every single way: interesting design of enemies, weapons and overall style, addictive and without flaw gameplay, even the story (which is not something you would consider) it adds perfectly to the other features of this game. I won't spend any more time describing the features or what kind of impact this game had on the whole videogame industry.... But I will say this: its an instant-buy, a masterpiece must-have in every single library, for every single player.
