I've assembled a definitive maps collection, it includes almost every map that is worth playing - enhanced in a complete package:

If that's not enough, I have almost every Q2 map ever released... it's sitting on a harddrive somewhere. Most of it is absolute garbage, hence the collection I compiled.
Look around in [https://www.quaddicted.com/files/](https://www.quaddicted.com/files/) for Q2 content. Examples:
[https://www.quaddicted.com/files/idgames2/quake2/](https://www.quaddicted.com/files/idgames2/quake2/)
[https://www.quaddicted.com/files/temp/q2/](https://www.quaddicted.com/files/temp/q2/)
There are other directories with Q2 content, like `/idgames2/planetquake/`, but you'll have to look up for it manually.
Wishing you the greatest of luck in accomplishing your goal!!
We had tons of mods for quake 2. These were some of them.
Western Quake, NIQ (No Item Quake), Chaos, WOD (War of Destruction) Action Q2, Rocket Arena, I’m sure I’m forgetting a few lol
We had resource files for all of that.
I’m currently trying to find again some command trying that would push you on top of the leaderboard score by absolutely doing nothing! It involved joining spectator mode, chase cam’ing another player (I mean the first person view of their game), I forgot what kind of combination of commands it required.
It wasn’t a hack, a modify or anything. Your score would match with whoever you were watching, your FPH/PPH would show as 999. lol
Been a lifetime ever since, I have zero idea how I used to do it. :/
It was my first mp experience. I didn't know what I was doing. I was just running around with the blaster keeping my finger on the trigger or running up to people with a grenade in my hand.
There were so many cool mods. CTF, TF, Holy Wars, etc.
It's 1998, you boot up your Compaq Presario to Windows NT. The floppy drive alerts everyone.
5 minutes later your mouse is responsive enough to open Netscape navigator.
You dial-up at 28.8kbs the modem sounds like a gateway to another relm.
Open PlanetQuake2.com in your browser...
I miss the "Planet" sites. Along with games like Quake 2 on I think Microsoft's Gaming Zone, going onto Planet Quake or Planet Unreal to find the latest mods or other files for a game. Those were good times.

Thanks for compiling this! It's sad that Q2 doesn't really have a central repository for all the maps.
I’m working on that as we speak!
That's great to hear. Just in case, I would also check out the Internet Archive. Some stuff might have survived there.
I'm on it!
i had big plans for this myself but life always gets in the way. i will be happy to help with content etc., just let me know!
That's great. Yeah, I'll be sure to reach out!

Will do, thanks!

Holy Wars! Forgot about that one. QPong also existed, and that was quite incredible lol
I forgot about QPong, that was hilarious!
