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.

Don't believe the bad reviews
I just noticed a lot of bad reviews about this game on GOG. The main complaint is that this game doesn't work on Windows 10 and has no music. This is completely wrong, and honestly dumb. Just grab a sourceport. Best one out there is Yamagi. Once you have that, then you'll be playing among the finest FPS games out there.

Game is not optimized for modern hardare
So I could only play the game in widowed mode and there was no music. What's the point of playing a Quake game without the music? I'm sure there are workarounds I could use to get the game working properly, but I shouldn't have to go through extra hoops to get a product to work. Will attempt to refund.

The worst of the Quake series by far
I bought this in a GoG bundle pack for nostalgia purposes. All the Quake games have a similar feel as far as controls, but they each have a somewhat different flavor in their setting and level design. The single player in Quake 2 is subpar compared to Quake 1 and Quake 4. The multiplayer is also not as good as Quake 1 or Quake 3. Quake 2 single player mostly revolves around shooting the same 3 enemies for hours and looking for switches to open doors. Wash, rinse, repeat. The graphical theme is repetitive and boring. It's easy to get lost in a level because every room looks identical. It doesn't have the diversity of the mutli-world time travel techno-fantasy feel of Quake 1. The music is decent, but also inferior to Quake 1 and Quake 3. It is however slightly better than the Quake 4 soundtrack which is the most boring of the bunch. Quake 2 was popular in its day because of the massive amount of mods and downloadable characters and levels. But after all is said and done, decades later, it doesn't hold up to the test of time. If you've never played a Quake game before, go with Quake 1 and Quake 4 for single player, or go with Quake 3 for multiplayer. Other similar games of the era, such as Unreal, are also better than Quake 2.
