Watching this felt like revisiting a place where I went on holiday some 25 years ago: all forgotten but once you see it again you remember every detail.
Hell yeah, that game led me to my first upgraded video card, the Diamond Monster 3D , I think it was 16 MB, and my box was a PentiumII.....that card cost if I remember around 200 bucks. Wife was not happy about that purchase.....
ahhh, back whern FPS Was FPS, you, a tonne of guns, your circle straffing skills, a billion badguys per level and KICK ASS METAL!! what happened to games like this? they ROCK!
I preferred more Quake 1's and Unreal's sountrack. Maybe because I'm not a big fan of metal (and neither the type that blows wind at you) music. I always turned the music off in Q2, probably because I played the demo version before, which didn't have music.
Xerxes1688 oh well, each to own, i'm personally a pretty gasoline blooded metal head, mainly thanks to QII. but, indeed, each persons choice at the end of the day.
what happened is that modern casual players hate difficulty and complicated level designs in fps, so companies will make easier games for the demand of those casuals who havent played in their lives. and about metal? easy new generations hate good music genres
I used to play this 15 years ago at internet cafe's back in Romania multiplayer with a bunch of local kids and guys. fun fun. An hour of play was 35 cents lol of course they had many games and Quake was my favorite.
oh man, the good times when i had to pay 10.000 old "lei" for 1 hour of playtime. I remember playing games like Quake 2, Half-Life (when it first came out in 1998-99), Captain Claw, NfS, Prince 3D etc. Damn good times!
Most people think Quake is all about multiplayer arenas, with people mindlessly running around in circles shooting eachother with rockets. I suppose it's only fair since it is the grandfather of many classic game modes we see in virtually all shooter multiplayers now, like CTF.... But to me, /this/ is what quake is all about. The Strogg are one of my favorite sci fi cyborg enemies ever.
One of my top favourite games: gameplay, soundtrack, running and strafing were all so fluid and satisfying but the absolute favourite aspect was the ability to go BACK as many levels as you wanted to collect ammo, armour or health packs. Loved this game.
Four things that I remember about this game instantly: 1) Half dying enemies shoot back. 2) Shoot into the dead one another time to have blood chunks. 3) Cool soundtrack. 4) You need to move your mouse down, when you shoot from machine gun, because it moves up. I always liked to do that.
As a 43-year-old who is 16 when this game came out. I agree I thought I forgotten this game. All it took was the music in this level and now I remember it all this great game was brilliant.
So fitting to the gameplay. Still fun today and will run on a calculator. Not many games ran on all computers at LAN parties but Q1 and 2 never posed any problems :-D Still runs 20 years later, no problem.
Just brilliant, brings back so many memories as a kid when I used to play this with my dad in the late 90's early 00's back in France, we would be hogging the PC for most of our Sundays!! And the metal playing in the background... I feel like I could almost play this again
i remember beating this level "the demo" without mouse... all you could do to press page up and page down to move the cursor little bit up or down... and with practice we beat the game :D
I remember myself, playing this great fucking game 20 years ago, at night with no light... What a nightmarish atmosphere, sounds and graphics!!! It was awesome!!!
Learn it kids who were born in the 2000s,this is what a great FPS Game looks like.Oh,the 90s...the time when graphics didn't bother us and what really counts were skill and patience.
+Amyr Silveira "the time when graphics didn't bother us". Just want to point out that quake 2 had some of the best graphics at the time. I suspect much less people would have played quake2 if it had worse graphics since people generally expected the best engines from Id. For me my interest with graphics was actually much higher with older games. These days I don't care any more because as far as I'm concerned graphics are good enough to accomplish most things. I think unreal3 engine is when I lost the last of my interest for graphics. Now physics, AI, and sound modeling is more interesting to me in terms of game engines.
In Quake 2 is like a remedy for fans of Quake 1 who can't get enough of the military base themed levels in the first map of each episode. Almost all the levels are set in this theme.
+WarLordTulkas *hate it when video walkthroughs do that! It's like just turn around fucker and swim under the extra ledge, shoot that hole in the wall, jump out of the window and pick up those obvious powerups and if it's red it blowsup !! And i've no idea why but these days RUclips has a habit of inserting random characters/ letters/ numbers to my edits . . .
OMFG I FOUND IT. I have been thinking and dreaming of this game since about 9 years, I remember I was a kid and my mother had left an old pc that her workplace was selling too cheap, so a friend of hers installed some games and that's how I met quake and unreal tournament, I bought the whole unreal collection when I was old enough but I eventually forgot the name of quake and that pc was long gone so I couldn't go back and play it again! But I feel so happy now that I know the game that I used to play then :)
Fun fact, the original Quake 2 disc still works perfectly on my windows 10 laptop without any emulation or modification. I'm amazed that such old software runs on win 10 and i'll bet it works on win 11.
It is quite unbelievable that Quake was released on June 22, 1996, Quake II on December 9, 1997. That's less than 1.5 years and basically EVERYTHING was changed.
I remember the first time I played this game, after school Sept 11th 2001, a friend of mine burnt me a copy I still remember hearing CNN in the background as the first level seemed to relate to what was happening
Quake 2 on the n64 is my personal favourite. Its alot more atmospheric, and the lighting is very vibrant. I think it highlights the ‘alien’ style of the game.
gosh i still remember the first day when i was playing this.I was 6 or 7 years old.Ahh memorys.That day i played in game club for first time and this was my first game.3 hours of straight play and my mother found me and grabed me by the ear.It was painfull......but no regrets.
When my family bought our first computer, the seller was kind enough to include (among some other pirated software) Quake 2. I was 10 years old. Anyway, I tried to figure out how to play it but accidentally screwed up the controls so that moving forward was disabled - there was no key for moving forward. Anyway, I played through the first 3 levels moving only backwards before an older relative helped me to reset the controls :D I liked the game so much..
I remember playing this on a Pentium Pro PC. The graphics weren’t as good as this but then I upgraded to a Pentium 3 and I was amazed how the graphics improved so much.
Still love that opening movie - so like Aliens and Starship Troopers. The video was always choppy playing off the CD but always played smoothly off an ISO.
classic. intro still gives me the goosebumps. Just finished reading 'Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire' for the third time. Great book about great games. *EDIT* noob! you missed the secret in the first level! :)
i had a ripped version off this on ps1 at like 8yrs old (wich my dad bought from thailand along with a million other games for pocket change)waaay to youngto be playing this awsome violence but still i loved it to bits and giblets until it stopped working so i never got to play through it really hope this will be on xbox gamepass at somepoint since the firstone just got released
i always like the beginning scene , the steel clad industrial spaceship with its turrets , the marines are all cocky ,they nailed it ,but then they get annihilated when they fly into Strogoss! Fuckin epic Rock sound track. This game never gets old. Never. I actually really liked Quake 4 , did a good job.
Holy shit, i've had a copy of Quake 2 since my freshman year of high school (2003) and i never knew there was any soundtrack to the game. Granted its burned copy I got from a girl who was also into the game but damn, love the music
Quake 2 is THE greatest fps in the history of this old planet! my first Q2 mulitiplayer was on this map during noob days at Heat Net & some guy repeatedly killed me w/ the hyperblaster, then typed LOL each time. ha! then about a month later, im doing rocket jumps in maingate & edge, then switchin to rail mid-air then gib some noob before touchin the ground then switch to chaingun n make meat sauce. Man, whatever happened to the genre we all loved so much, now it's all a confusing visual mess & info overload :/ OK maybe im just getting old.
Hyperblaster was stupid OP. An unmodded regular blaster did 15 damage to your health at a rate of maybe two shots per second. The Hyperblaster just massacred anything, even with armour. Kinda why I took up the Railgun to send those arseholes packing.
I remember playing it on college on my friend`s computer. I played it like on 640x480, quite low-res, blurry. But then he came and set the resolution on like 1024x768 and I was like ...HOLY COW... and maybe that was one of the reasons why i had to repeat my fourth year.... :)))
This part introduces basic enemies: Light Guard, Shotgun Guard, Machine Gun Guard, Enforcer and Gunner. Except for Gunner, who can be trouble, others are nuisance.
The main threat about the Gunners were their grenade volley. In Quake 2, if a grenade was still moving (No matter how many times it had bounced prior) when you touched it, it'd instantly explode and deal maximum damage to you. Right pain in the ass, that was.
I was one for actually either directly hitting from launch, or bouncing around a corner. Only one bounce before hitting. Anything beyond that, I'd consider myself getting lazy. I also refrained from using the Chaingun and Hyperblaster as much as I could. Chaingun because its firing behaviour was too uncontrollable for my liking, and the Hyperblaster because it was almost as cheap as the BFG10K. Super Shotgun early game, explosives and Railguns later on. Shotgun to pick any weak targets. Now I wanna play Q2 again...!
The Quake 2 demo was the first game I ever saw running under hardware acceleration (Voodoo Banshee). We all know that video cards were here to stay after that. :)

Wow he ducked SO ADVANCED, HE DIDNT WANNA DIE
The sound effects more than anything bring back memories. Used to love this game on the original PLayStation
all the memories. what a classic and great game for fps.
I never played the game with the music... It was all like real life, just the sound of the battle...
I never played it with high sound because I was all like really afraid
Lucas Bittencourt Nogueira Same :D
@@mariano1196 I bought the game on steam. Haven't heard the soundtrack play.
Quad Machine tho.
Playing this game without music is heresy.
When this game came out, I was blown away by the graphics (coloured lighting etc), but then Unreal came out.
I died.
It was very impressive for 1997. And I was playing it yesterday, it still is enjoyable.
yup this game, Unreal, and Half Life had me stuck to the PC for days at a time.
Even tho Quake is definitely a trendsetter and classic, Unreal will always be the game that changed my life into a gamer
R.I.P.
quake 2 has best music in FPS history
jowarnis Bullshit. Unreal have the best soundtrack in FPS ever. Dark, gritty, mysterious,t so inspiring, immersive and beautiful.
It's great but can't really say there's a best. Quake 1 is great, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3.
Doom 4 and Wolfenstein new Colossus
jowarnis golden eye also says hi
Half-Life is probably my favourite, but I have to agree that Q2's pumping metal is perfect!
Absolutely loved this game. It totally lived up to my expectations when I bought it back in 98. Played so smooth, too. Fantastic job
MSN Zone, anyone? Back in the day downloading the demo version and patching it to play online.
So many memories with this game, and of course the mods. Jailbreak is still, to this day, one of my favorite gaming memories ever.
Four things that I remember about this game instantly:
1) Half dying enemies shoot back.
2) Shoot into the dead one another time to have blood chunks.
3) Cool soundtrack.
4) You need to move your mouse down, when you shoot from machine gun, because it moves up. I always liked to do that.

Yeah definitely!
Switch port when?
THAT MUSIC :D
So fitting to the gameplay. Still fun today and will run on a calculator. Not many games ran on all computers at LAN parties but Q1 and 2 never posed any problems :-D
Still runs 20 years later, no problem.
bloodrunsclear isnt it in the ost for the new doom game? Oo
Sonic Mayhem is a genius!!!!! :D
Po
Used to play this with my dad back in the day together, such nostalgia and good memories.
I bought this back in '99 I think. Before that I played only Doom 1 and 2. Such a step up as I remember being very impressed.
the graphics still look amazing!
my very first game on pc #goodolddays
ye, i only had the demo, but i wasted a good 200 hours on that game easily.
Just brilliant, brings back so many memories as a kid when I used to play this with my dad in the late 90's early 00's back in France, we would be hogging the PC for most of our Sundays!!
And the metal playing in the background... I feel like I could almost play this again
I thought the intro was so good looking back in the day.. the space ship and all. I remeber playing this as a early teen nights at a row.
Quake II, the game that got me into gaming... *MEMORIES ARE FLOODING BACK TO ME!* and i love evry ounce of it...
This is some nostalgic thing to watch, my first PC game. Love this
Total nostalgy - this game was one of first ones i ever played with other golden oldies like Quake I , KKND 2 and Starcraft
The sound effects & soundtracks are the best of all games ever.
This is nostalgic! Damn Best game i ever played when i was a kid!
i remember beating this level "the demo" without mouse... all you could do to press page up and page down to move the cursor little bit up or down... and with practice we beat the game :D
My gosh, the memories (and the feels !)... people talk about Doom, but to me, Quake 2 is when it REALLY started, graphically.
Amazing that they went from Wolfenstein 3d to this in just five years. The 90s was an exciting time to be a gamer.
Music and atmosphere are insanely good and have never been recaptured by another game.
