The long-rumored 'Quake II' remaster is out now on PC and consoles | Engadget
The rumors were true: Bethesda has announced an upgraded version of Quake II.
Quake II is back - and it's cross-platform and cross-play too!

I have zero nostalgia for Quake (i was 5 when it came out lol), but i wonder how this will do! Quake Champions didn't seem to light the world on fire, but i wonder if the multiplayer scene here will blow up.
Quake itself was ok. The multiplayer version was fun. But the real fun started when people began modding the game. The original Team Fortress was actually a free mod for Quake which I'm pretty sure quickly became the most popular instance of the game for online play.
Funny random tidbit, I actually remember playing the game with one dude who specifically had to brag about having a high powered 1ghz processor as his username in the game (something like 1gigahertz or something cheesy like that). Pretty sure back then I was still rocking a 700mhz AMD Athlon Thunderbird processor.
The mods were fantastic. One that always sticks in my mind was Quake Rally. I think you controlled a car and drove it through the standard levels or some new maps, I can't remember, it's been so long.
Hot dang, I never heard of that mod, I'll have to check it out! lol
I never got into quake 2 multiplayer and I was old enough for it. Quake then half life team fortress for me.
I was basically in the same boat. I didn’t have a PC powerful enough to run Quake 2 well at the time. I could do Quake 1, and played the hell out of it, but Q2 was a complete slideshow. By the time I was able to upgrade it was Half-Life days, so Q2 multiplayer will always be a missing chunk of PC FPS history for me.
