	Quake II for PC Review - PC Quake II Review
		Of course, Quake II supports many graphics modes and 3D cards (it utilizes OpenGL), and players will surely find a combination that works well on their system (even if it's a now-ancient Pentium 150).
		And although the territory is now quite familiar to most players, Quake II offers a compelling multiplayer experience, due in large measure to a much-needed recasting of available weapons.
		But the sound effects of the original Quake were also first-class, and one might have hoped for the employment of more advanced technology, such as surround or even positional sound in the sequel.

	Quake II review for the PC
		Another good idea gone bad is the incorporation of Hexen and Hexen II-style "hubs." In Quake II they are called "units" and instead of moving from one level to the next you can now move back and forth between a group of levels within the unit.
		Quake II, on the other hand, looks like your traditional, cheesy apocalyptic sci-fi movie and, truth be told, I actually prefer the less-realistic, more stylized look of GLQuake.
		Quake II is generally too dark and the colored lighting is overdone, the monsters and player skins look the same and most of the objects are hard to distinguish from one another.

	The Unofficial Quake II FAQ v1.8
		Quake II, much more than a mere sequel, is totally different from Quake fixing the incoherence present in that game plus adding tons of new effects which were impossible to do in Quake.
		Quake II doesn't use Direct3D but OpenGL instead, which is a set of drivers 3D card developers are really pushing forward, some even say it has surpassed Direct3D, at least in the first-person perspective genre.
		In Quake II, you are a soldier in the TCM (Terran Confederation of Man) army, a combined force put together from the surviving armies of nations on the planet Earth and those of Earth's colonies on the Moon and the new independent nation of Ares on the planet Mars.

	Review - Quake II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While the hardware requirements for Quake II are fairly steep, one must consider the game's standing relative to other first-person shooters on the market.
		Quake II delivers surprisingly good eye-candy bang for your buck, considering its age.
		While Quake II is neither the pinnacle of the technological gaming heap, nor a significant improvement over the gameplay experiences offered by other competing games, one must look at the big picture surrounding QII.

	Quake IV - RavenGames Network
		Quake was among the first PC first-person shooters to let you take your multiplayer matches onto the Internet, and over the years, the series has become synonymous with great technology and exciting multiplayer.
		In Quake 4, you'll be armed with a fairly standard collection of weapons that may have originated in the Quake II universe--but that doesn't mean they're all identical.
		The long-awaited sequel to QUAKE II®, QUAKE 4 enlists gamers in the role of Matthew Kane, a member of the legendary Rhino Squad, to penetrate deep into the heart of the Strogg war machine and engage in a series of heroic missions to destroy the barbaric alien race.

	Quake II Evolved
		Quake II Evolved is a high end graphical update to id Softwares Quake 2.
		Quake II Evolved began back in 2002 when two guys, Nicolas Martin Flekenstein, and Gavin Stevens, thought of the idea to add a few nice effects and skins to Quake 2.
		Quake II Evolved is aimed at those high end users who sold their wife and kids to upgrade their PC, but at the same time we hope to provide a configurable system so that even older cards can still have a fun experience.

		Quake II requires a particular directory structure in order to work, so you'll need to set that up first.
		This fake object will be exported as weapon.md2 to keep Quake II working happily, and the real weapon object will be added directly to your character model and exported as part of it.
		This file specifies various aspects of the model, such as where the animations start and end, where the origin of the model is, and so on, and this information lets the Quake II engine place, render and move the object correctly.

		Fragmaster: At the time of Quake II's release, I was an insane high school fanboy who spent most of his time running PlanetQuake.
		Don't get me wrong, Quake II certainly had its great qualities and spawned some really awesome mods (including QPong, probably my all-time favorite), but I think if you compare the two now, classic Quake is the better of them.
		So, when Quake II was nigh, I slapped a preorder on that sucker and had a car-owning friend drive me fifty-some miles to the nearest EB, just so I'd have it on the first day.

		Quake II places you in the role of a generic Marine, the sole survivor of a last-ditch assault force sent against the Strogg's mysterious alien home world.
		When all is said and done, Quake II on the N64 is a good conversion of the PC game, and the multiplayer stands up to games like GoldenEye and Turok 2 quite nicely.
		I had played Quake 2 on the computer before I rented it on the N64...expecting the graphics to excede those of the computer, but in actuality, they were rather mediocre.

		Quake II AbSIRD is a modification of the Quake II graphics engine to produce SIRDS instead of standard 3D images.
		Quake II AbSIRD is a modification of the standard Quake II rendering engine so that it can create SIRDS instead of normal 3D environments.
		Remember that Quake II was not designed for this type of visualization at all, and yet it still plays pretty well, I believe is a sign that if a game were actually designed for this, it would be simply amazing.

		What this means is that the single-player component of Quake 4 is set in the Strogg-centric world of Quake II, and the multiplayer is reminiscent--to an extraordinarily high degree--of Quake III Arena's breakneck deathmatches.
		Were it not for the actual events of Quake II, that line in the intro might have been a bit cheesy, but as a reference to an earlier event in the series it's a great touch.
		In Quake 4 you play a new character known as Matthew Kane, a silent marine with apparently something of a reputation for badassery.
