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.

Best multiplayer game ever.
Little advice from a veteran. Get a friend. Load Q2DM1. Duel. Give it some time. Once you start understanding the map (it's not as immediate as it seem, far from it) and once you start learning the trick jumps I assure you, you'll have the best online experience of your life.

Quake 2 Remastered, a Masterpiece
This will be a review of the Remastered version of Quake 2 that was released. First, I have to say that my excitement and joy when I heard about the news on Quakecon and that it was coming out of nowhere on the same day was truly a joyous experience, but how is the game itself? Starting with the overall elements of the remastered that can be noted are the improved graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay additions with crossplay and crossgen without the need for a Bethesda account unlike the Quake 1 remastered. Content wise they featured the original game and its expansions the Reckoning and Ground Zero with an additional brand-new campaign by Machine Games title the Call of the Machine and a surprise addition of Quake 2 64 remastered levels (only the ones that were new to that game as it featured the main game and some additional levels) Special mention to the addition of the compass to the equipment wheel as it improves the experience a whole lot as all of the Quake 2 levels are contriving mazes that lead into other hubs. How is the game itself? It cannot get better than this, the overall gameplay loop in addition to the soundtrack creates a masterful menagerie of a gameplay loop with the core weapons feeling like they all belong and worthy of use. The campaigns are all excellent with special mention to the Call of the Machine which is new to the remastered. That features extremely varied locale and new bosses with a gigantic leap in difficulty and something for the lore experts as well (The origins of the Strogg and the connection to Q1 might satiate people’s appetite). Original Quake 2 campaign is a classic with a main theme of Strogg bases/industrial locations which do not overstay their welcome. The Reckoning is a gigantic expansion with varied locale and new weapons, but the length might be to its detriment as the last stretch is overly long. Ground Zeros is the same thing but improved pacing and weapons and Q64 is a nice addition albeit rushed at the end. 10

Still Holds Up
Really no complaints. The movement is top notch, great weapons, iconic enemies, awesome music. If you've never played the game then now is the time, this upgrade is well worth it.

Nightdive is at it, again
Simply the best way to experience Q II, it looks, plays and sounds great. And for 10 bucks (or if you were lucky enough to already own the original, it's free) there's so much content. Sure, when you think about it, it's a 1997 game with a good facelift, but it still holds well. My only complaint is that some area in the expansions have some difficulty spikes here and there where they just throw more enemies at you for some reason. Anyway, if you enjoyed the modern DOOM games or some of these indies Boomer shooters that come out every month, you'll love Quake II.

All the reviews HAVE to be updated...
A fantastic update to Q2, it's not the RTX update though, but it is now updated to modern standards but still as close to the original as they could keep it. What a fantastic move by the team. Don't hesitate, get it now and enjoy one of the best ever FPS.
