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.

Still awesome!

I played this game much closer to its release date, back then it was crazy good, stunning graphics and awesome atmosphere also thanks to great music. Now, this game didnt changed at all. Obviously graphics now seem to be too straight but game itself didnt lost anything in its playibility. Be brave and play it through and enjoy awesome sf theme. One of the reasons to be gog,com worshipper ;)

An old friend revisited

I have owned Quake II and the expansion packs for years, but when this came on sale I picked it up for the ease of installation. Gives you a very easy to use interface for the expansion pack/mod(s) you want to run, and also gives you Eraser bots, which are a bear to get working on modern systems, if you can find the files. I run them with KmQuake and the Lazarus mod from Mark Shan, gives you better graphics, smarter monsters and many other improvements. I just renamed the original Quake2.exe to Quake2.bak, and renamed kmquake2.exe to quake2.exe. Saves making up batch files or having several shortcuts as the GOG launcher still works. One of the best deals I ever got from GOG, thank you for this.

Quake 2 Enhanced - Music working again!!

I would like to start of by saying "Night Dive Studios" is the Kings & Queens of remastering and remaking games. I have bought Forsaken, Doom 64 and System Shock remake and they are all great. Furthermore, I own Quake 2 on Steam and the full version here on GOG and I must say I am super thankful for this amazing remaster, "Night Dive Studios" have given new life to this game and the music is working again. In addition the self-shadows and dynamic shadows on everthing looks amazing and "Night Dive Studios" shows that amazing graphics can still be crafted with plain rasterization!
