The single player focuses on action and contains no puzzles, except for having to press switches to open up new areas, and minimal backtracking. Along the way there are plenty of weapons to collect and enemies to shoot. The single player of Quake II contains nine missions each with one primary objective and several secondary objectives that must be completed in order to complete the primary objective. Some of the weapons from the original Quake make an appearance in Quake II (Shotgun, Super Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, and Rocket Launcher) along with many new weapons (Blaster, Machine Gun, Chain Gun, Railgun, Hyperblaster, and BFG10K). Quake II is a fast-paced first-person shooter game similar to it predecessor. While the direct sequel switches the aesthetic yet again, Quake II's story was expanded in both Quake 4 and the spin-off Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. The game also received multiple sequels, starting with Quake III Arena. Titled Quake II RTX, this version makes extensive use of ray-tracing technology of modern GPUs to add several new graphical effects.

Its complete source code was later released as open source on Decemunder the GNU General Public License, allowing for expanded source ports.Īlong with two licensed 'mission packs' ( The Reckoning by Xatrix and Ground Zero by Rogue), the game received two official console ports (a Nintendo 64 version by Raster Productions and a Sony PlayStation version by HammerHead), multiple third-party computer ports (for Mac OS, Linux, and the Amiga), and an obscure port for the Zeebo. Along with several fan-made mods, the game's engine was used for several third-party games, including Heretic II, SiN, Kingpin: Life of Crime, Soldier of Fortune, Daikatana, and Anachronox. The game engine, later known as id Tech 2, also revamps the modularity of the game logic by having it use module DLLs instead of using QuakeC. The game's expands on the 3D game engine used in Quake, featuring additional out-of-the-box support for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics (via OpenGL) and new rendering effects (such as different-colored lighting). As the last remaining survivor, the marine must single-handedly destroy their way from teleporting to Earth and then eliminate their leader (codenamed ' Makron'). blast from the Stroggos planetary defense system (or 'Big Gun'). Players take control of a lone marine (later known as 'Bitterman'), whose drop pod crash-lands away from the staging area due to an E.M.P. In a desparate attempt to prevent the Strogg from invading Earth, the Terran Coalition of Man (TCM) stages a counter-attack against Stroggos known as 'Operation Alien Overlord'. The game's main campaign is set on the planet Stroggos, homeworld of the hostile bio-mechanical race known as the Strogg. It also includes a harder industrial-metal CD soundtrack, most of which are from the musician Sonic Mayhem (who previously did an alternate soundtrack for Quake). Along with being more mission-based (with different types of objectives), the game includes seamless levels that allow players to travel back-and-forth between them (which are required to complete certain objectives).

It was originally planned to be an entirely unique IP, although its gameplay similarities allowed it to stick with the 'Quake' name. The sequel to the 1996 game Quake, Quake II foregoes the Lovecraftian story and atmosphere in favor of a hard sci-fi aesthetic (while still retaining some of its grit).
