No game can match this level of badassery. when you awake from your space pod on a foreign planet where everything wants to kill you...this song comes on, and you start laying waste to those strogg fucks.
With the gleaming swords and the menacing faces of his enemies around him, and thinking utter ruin is upon him, why should he not quake and mourn? Francesco Petrarca, in Secretum, 1342 A.D.
I came here from Doom Eternal because of the bomb ass music, if the Quake games are as good as their music, then holy shit. I may just have to play them.
I miss the 90's HEAVY METAL vibe to games There was something special about covering everything in skulls, the gothic architecture, screaming horribly as people were blasted into little bits, and that evil satan voice telling you how terribly you were shredding the other team
I was in the Fortress of Doom and stumbled across this music record. I started playing the song. I wasn’t sure if Descent into Cerberon was the name of its album, or if it was the song’s name, so I decided to use the SoundHound app on my phone to find out. However, when I had SoundHound listen to the music, it came up with the song, We Need A Goal by D.I.V. I was confused at first as it was a bad sexual song, but then I came here and then realized that my SoundHound app goofed up, 😂😂😂😂

Ha! I still got me Quake 2 CdRom with the entire soundtrack on as well. This was always my favorite track from Q2. And yes, I fucking bought that game in the 90's :D
Well I didn't exist in the 90s so yeah. Nothing I can do 'bout that. Sometimes I do kinda wish I was born somewhere in the past so I could actually experience the rise and evolution of videogames. Instead of just looking back at it.
This is one of the most badass FPS tracks of all times. Thank you for goose bumps. I still owe the original Q2 CD, but hearing it on the Internet is awesome. In 1999, I was one of the best Q2 CTF players in my country; data lines were 56k modems or ISDN, ADSL lines were not yet deployed. Latency ranged from 300 (modem) to 100 (ISDN), and many 200+ ping guys where top notch. We often had fun doing lan parties along with all "enemy" clans - a thing new generations will probably never experience. I used a trackball and not a mouse, and people still wonders about that. Today, I can't play a FPS decently, and my daughter owns me on almost every game. Oh well, I guess this is the natural evolution of games... Q2 is dead, long live Q.
yeah a SWAT team comprised of ranger clones and doomguy clones each with a BFG 10K and 9000 respectively and the enemies are generic CoD and halo characters.
Remember playing this in my old high school computer lab. 31 students and the instructor in full LAN playing CTF. This song in particular was perfect cause the intro played just long enough for each team to meet each other when the metal riffs started.
Great game and probably one of the best soundtracks ever in entire video gaming history! Why newer games (in general) don't have something like this as soundtrack anymore?!
Someone needs to upload this track on a loop for an hour or more. It would save the effort of having to click play again so I can hear those sweet ascending power chords at 0:57 once more.
What I like about Quake 2 is that here you play not as an alien pumped with steroids, whom nothing can kill, but as an ordinary marine, an ordinary human, who does not have any superpowers. This creates a special atmosphere. Imagine that you are the only survivor of the entire platoon, sneaking through the dark corridors of the Strogg base. Chaos is going on on the radio, shouts and shooting are heard. And now you stumble upon the torn corpse of your friend, and next to him a hefty cyborg with a machine gun instead of a hand.
This made part of my history in games........Pentium 3, in sly-mode with 2 graphic cards, voodo with 192 bits per channel........I complet this games various times...! ah...with Windows 98 second edition.
This songs makes me think of jacking Silver Surfer's surfboard and slingshotting galaxy nuclei at superluminal speeds while headbutting laser sharks. TL;DR: Why can't modern FPS shooters have soundtracks like this one??

+SlicGW Sonic Mayhem is still doing soundtracks to games, and has been for almost 20 years. He is one of the reasons i liked Borderlands so much :-) Part of the reason studios cut the budget for the music, might be that a lot of games (almost all) are coop in some form or another and people tend to mute the music to hear each other ...
this track doesn't play anywhere cept for a few of it's expansion stages that had mob enemy's over 100+ total in a stage. it's *2nd* to Quad Machine's track but quite a banger. 😗
1998 summer. My very first computer. 233 Mhz Pentium MMX with the legendary super crappy S3 Virge DX. The very first game I installed on it was Quake 2. Start the game. The resolution is 320x240. This soundtrack is playing. One of the most memorable moments of all my time spent in front of PC. Unforgettable soundtrack.
Quake 2 will work with Windows 10. It requires Knightmare's Unofficial v3.24 Patch. That patch fixes almost everything except for the mouse. You will have to type "bind mwheeldown weapprev" into the game's console and press ENTER if you want to use the mouse wheel to select the previous weapon.
It depends on what kind of graphics card you have installed. Quake 2 won't display properly with many graphics cards unless you install that patch. The patch also adds improvements like anisotropic filtering, vertical sync, dynamic lighting, and the ability to display at a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The game was created before people started using LCD widescreen monitors. You need the ability to enable vertical sync if you are using an LCD monitor. Otherwise, you will see screen tearing because the graphics card won't be synchronized with the monitor. Most LCD monitors can only display 60 frames per second. That patch doesn't add any new textures or other enhancements.
You start the game and this is the first fucking song of the game. They just start on the high note right off the bat, compare that to slow boring tutorial stages forcing you to wait for 5 hours just to open a door. Here it's straight to the good stuff, good old days
This track, as most of the Q2 soundtrack, is our work indeed.
YOOO SONIC MAYHEM IS HERE.
... and it is great. Take care.
The soundtrack of my youth.
Y'all rock AND roll!
And you killed it, props to you 👐🏻
Nice gesture from Mick Gordon to include this in his performance last night at The Game Awards
ImpseMX It was supposed to be used in the soundtack as a song called Hell Keep, but it was unused.
Samsonite Fanatic got a source? Just curious
I'm trying to find that version with alien like sounds but no luck
Fucking legend that man is.
Bit of a late reply, but Sonic Mayhem was the guy on Synths behind Mick. The guy who composed this song.

DOOM
@@biglad3701 I was going to comment that but I knew someone would
Aaaahhhh the 90’s where everything was so manly 😌
Best tune from Q2 in my opinion, learning it on the guitar now ;)
I think Quad Machine is more action packed, but thats just imo
did you learn it by now? B)
Ten kawałek rozpierdala mi łeb.Po prostu miazga
"All pods launched."
"Establish communications, priority alpha."
*"Marines we're at five percent ground force operational status!"*
I know just what you mean dude, That game just takes you on a fucking terrific journey
Without Q2's music, it be hittin as hard as Doom 64 LOO
Good for edits:
Longer:
00:30 - 1:25
Or
00:40 - 1:25
Shorter:
00:55 - 1:25
The song sure does deliver a certain sense of urgency 🤔

this is the best game of quake did anyone know that, no wonder why
Great but I am an Arena fan.
Quake 2 ftw
i play this game for 12 years now and i always compare it with games as cod and other modern shooters. there's no game as good as quake 2 and 3
INTRUDAH!
I came here from Doom Eternal because of the bomb ass music, if the Quake games are as good as their music, then holy shit. I may just have to play them.
Reason why Doom has the music it has is because of classic Doom and Quake. I highly recommend it, Quake is a classic on PC.
"You're as beautiful as the day i lost you."
Welcome back, Marines. Quake is back baby
never played quake before when i got the remaster.
holy shit i needed this so much in my life
Ah i used to put the CD in my car stereo and listen to the soundtrack whilst driving. Actually not sure how I'm still alive.
005 AGIMA LOL.
Well there are no Strogg to run over during the car ride I suppose.
Underappreciated comment
You bought the soundtrack and then crashed 6 cars in a week
You got gud.

Great game and probably one of the best soundtracks ever in entire video gaming history! Why newer games (in general) don't have something like this as soundtrack anymore?!
Because when gameplay slowed down, the music had to too.
No point in throwing in a thrash soundtrack in a Call of Duty title.
