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.

Enhanced for your pleasure
The enhanced version of quake 2 is epic, especially the music. Good times with this game watching my buddy play it on his grandmas computer way back in the day.

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.

Nostalgia and Fun!
This is probably my favorite ID game aside from the original Doom. Of course I mean for the times that they came out (although Doom is still very playable even now). I found a mod that gave me HD textures, but could have played without. Great level design and interesting how tough all the Strogg aliens are. Good chunky arsenal of weapons, great detail and variety of enemies, puzzles that are fun but don't leave you stuck for hours upon end. The end of an era of classic FPS games before they got jaded and embraced naff gimmicks. There was a lot of hype when it was first released and it did not dissapoint. A really fun FPS game even better or a par with titles released decades later.

Awesome, today I mean
It's July 26, 2019, and I just download this incredible piece of software from 22 years ago, installed, and just lost 2 hours of my life like I did 22 years ago, not even realize it. That, before I decided to search for an actualiced engine and proceed to download (http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/). There, 2 hour later Im happy like a child. This is the mark of a awesome game. Its not nostalgia, Its pure gaming gold that can keep you going even 22 years later like nothing. Its the music, the pacing, the crude but efective gameplay. Its a jewel.

Down with the sickness!
The game in itself is good: I mean, it's an ID FPS after all. But what gets me is the awesome soundtrack! Back in the days you could just put the game CD in a player and it would explode from the speakers. It's just perfect and gives you the right boost to deal with the Stroggs. The only downside is that is a bit easy: even playing on nightmare it's not that hard comparing to other fps.
