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

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.

Quake returns

!!Important note!! I don't own quake 2 on gog, but I own it on steam. I won't be able to comment on any technical issues with the gog version. The steam version is missing the soundtrack, but I don't known about the gog verson. I am just reviewing the game. What I liked about this game + I loved the Sc-fi setting. + The gameplay is still very addictive and enjoyable. + A great selection of weapons. My favourite weapons were the railgun and the hyperblaster. + Larger levels compared to the first Quake. Each level has a set of objectives which you need to complete. + Plenty of secrets to be found throughout the levels and there are also secret levels. + The game provides a good challenge to FPS players. + Plenty of awesome looking enemies to turn into big chunk of gore. What I disliked or was disappointed with - Powerups weren't that useful this time round; I didn't feel like I needed them. Conclusion Better than the first game in my opinion, because I prefered the Sci-fi setting. I highly recommend this game to any FPS fan.

Quake 2 Enhanced

This is a classic FPS shooter from the 90's and one the best to start these types of games off, But despite a great main game, And some great and long dlc's, This game remaster has lots of bugs at times, And crashes at times are only too inconvenient, A complete incompetence bodging up a simple remaster, What ever bethesda touch, Always seem to screw it up with some annoying bugs and crashes, It's like their motto or something, Good game but stick with the original from id software and just mod it, It's alot simpler with the hassle with this version.

Hit and miss of an enhanced edition

Original Quake 2 is a solid, even if mostly average across the board. While the original campaign is very good and memorable, mission packs are mostly boring, padded out and a waste of time. Enhanced Edition doesn't change this, and the general feel remains mostly the same. The remaster implements a ton of new features and customizable options, which mostly are great. If you don't like updated graphics or other changes, you can turn them off, which is great. Most of the changes and content restoration is great, but with a few exceptions. Turns out, some of the cut stuff were cut - for a good reason, and restoring it is a bad idea. E.g. the berserker's 99% unavoidable jump attack is just awful and not having it in the game was a good call from the original developers. Most of the changes don't ruin the original experience, though, which is commendable. A new mission pack, delivered by Machine Games, is pure rubbish, though. Bloated and padded, with interesting assets, but awful level design and pacing issues. It has the recent Wolfenstein badness smeared all over it, and shows a lack of understanding of principal design of Q2 core pillars. Plays more like a passion project from moddb, than a commercial project that went through internal review and approval process. I'd recommend to pass it entirely. It adds nothing to the experience, and drags the whole package down.
