![]() Q2pro client has built in server browser and there's usually always games up. Can't beat that! ) We've always been able to play Q2 online. ![]() Either way, I'm getting a lot out of this remaster for the price of nothing. All these modern live service games just don't really do it for me. I've sorely missed the deathmatches of old. This is actually my first time ever being able to play Quake 2 online/multiplayer, and I must say I'm having a very good time with it. That said, on occasion one will completely bug out and just run around aiming and shooting at the ground for reasons. Still not as good as anything one can find in UT or Quake 3, but they're good enough that one of them can even manage to win a match from time to time only on their highest "nightmare" difficulty setting though. ![]() Since most everybody else doesn't even seem to bother to set up their games properly, I just ended up hosting my own with a minimum 8-player slots filled with bots if empty. (Yikes!) Already found out which maps I like and those I don't - the Quake 2 64 maps are tiny. Well, to that effort I already put some ~18 hours into online matches. Gotta get my hours in because I'm fairly sure the people playing online right now are very likely going to fizzle out within a month's span, so got to get the good stuff before it's gone again. *shrug* Somehow it just doesn't feel quite as hectic. Strangely enough, I think I may like multiplayer in Quake 2 more. Out of curiosity, I bothered to install Quake 3 again via ioquake3 and I was pleasantly surprised to actually run into some people there, so I had some fun playing on a RetroFFA server that just uses vanilla maps.
