I feel like it was much better for it's time but has not aged well, especially compared to quake1

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
everyone who experiences positive nostalgia for q2 probably didn't actually slog through the full campaign which will turn your soul brown

quake 2 used to be cool back then but goddamn it did not age well. the graphics are a blurry mess of orange instead of eye-poppingly gorgeous, the "advanced ai" turned out to be a duck two enemies have that can be easily bypassed, the campaign is too slow compared to Q1, and the MP is a misfit that lacks q1's speed or q3's refinement. the big fps games released in 1998 blew it out of the water

Didn't the game play a single short song per new level, and then immediately fall back to the same "ambient sounds" song that sounded like a rejected track from a discount spooky halloween fx cd? Man what a bad game that was.

Yeah this is why you hire trent reznor for your scary blips and bloops. Well, when he's drinking. Sober reznor doesn't make good music.

quake 2 is the only quake in which enemy corpses gather flies therefore it owns

The best thing Quake 2 has going for it is the opening cinematic.

Quake 2 looks like pixelated orange mud and is about as interesting as sandpaper
