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.

 

*Maximum display resolutions vary by platform.

Dull and Soulless

The best way to describe Quake II is "competent." That's it, take any sort of interesting colorful words you could use to positively describe a game, and throw them out, because "competent" is the best you'll get out of Quake II. It's very obvious that John Romero was the creative glue at id, the ying to Carmack's cliched yang, because nothing in Quake II is compelling. Gone is the odd horror/sci-fi/gothic melange of the original Quake, gone are the rudimentary medieval looking weapons of the original, here replaced with the most stock, boring counterparts you could imagine. Instead of monsters with chainsaws popping out of their arm while spewing out grenades in a butcher's apron, you get generic monster with gun, and generic monster with different gun number two. There are no real extensive AI behaviors, most of what the enemies do is pretty rote, they either charge at you, or they zig-zag and shoot. Sure they'll keep shooting when they're downed, but after the first time, getting pecked in the back of the head by a lazer is just annoying instead of something you really need to watch out for. The real cherry on top is Quake II's stunningly bland level design, including the hallmark of all crap level design, a hub system, because the only way to make the bland, colorless levels with billions of monster closets and boring traps more exciting is endless backtracking. The levels suck, the monsters suck, the weapon sucks (they are unsatisfying and have little to no interesting functionality), the monster design sucks. In fact, the only good part of Quake II is that it has some impressive technical dinguses, but even that is a bittersweet boon as Quake II deigns to do nothing interesting or pretty with its technical prowess. At least the game works, it's not buggy in the slightest, it doesn't crash, and everything about it is professional. But that really sums it up, Quake II is a professional experience, it's like working in a cubicle, mindnumbing and just ass.

You owe it to yourself

Had this game when I was younger, installed on multiple systems on our home network so my brother and I could play pvp. I still remember killing him through a wall with a random blind-shot from the BFG. Good times.

Quake II how we love you

Quake II is the reason I purchased a 3DFX card, so glad I did back in the day. Quake II is a great shooter that still holds up today. Everybody should play at least once in their life if not a lot more.

Fun time

This is funny, dynamic game. It is even not persuated as shooter. And this game interesting play multiplayer mode. Not Quake 3. Exactly Quake 2! :)
