The singleplayer gets a lot of flak, but its actually a really great campaign. Great variety of enemies, cool weapons, and the levels are all fun to run through. Just a great game in general that often flies under the radar. Quake 4 is also decent, but not as good as Quake 2.

When I played the Mission Packs of Q1 on stream though, BHLab told me that Q2 was basically those but longer and exaggerated which has made me nervous.

I replayed Q2 a couple months ago on skill 4 and it was still pretty easy. The best part of Q2 is really all the mods that people used to play. I have the expansion packs but they are kind of boring.

I played Quake 2 all the time when I was a kid, and I still think it's good, though not as good as Quake 1. I still have one of the expansion pack CDs somewhere.

I really liked the Super Shotgun in Q2, and it was better than the Q1 shotguns.

I always liked the jail parts of the Q2 single player cause the crazy marine sounds/animations make me giggle.

I'm torn on whether I think it'd of been cooler to make you half-strogg all the time in Q4 or to leave it until half way so you are like, Holy poo poo I just became exceedingly win.

The before and after is really good. I think you become stroggified like a third of the way through, it feels like you spend the majority of the game as a strogg.

Same but maybe I'm just remembering thinking like, "Okay it took so long to get here, there can't be much time to be a strogg in a game made since Deus Ex."

Its cool how many enemies they cram into some of the rooms of Q2, and some of the corridors get real tight so Q2 done quick has a guy just running on top of a corridor just filled to the brim with parasites and grunts

Q2 is no where near as fast as Q1 or Q3, but it's 100% more gritty. I enjoy it. Especially DM on tastyspleen. There is a reason it's not given as much love, though. It doesn't have the John Romero magic.

I like the observation someone (everyone made) that Q2 is what happens when you have Carmack by himself make a game, completely devoid of soul but technically sound and extremely solid, and Daikatana is what happens when Romero makes a game by himself, etc. etc. Anyway, peace.
