From the Facebook page for Quake Live:
To celebrate Quake II's 15th birthday, we're running a Quake II Game Night, tonight at 8PM Central. Dust off your copies of Quake II, or grab it from Steam, and we'll be posting server information tonight!

Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
Hah, imagine that. I opened a box in my storage the other day and there was Q2, the reckoning and ground zero all sitting there. Must've been a sign.
Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
Any recommended 
engine updates, à la zDoom? I'm guessing it doesn't run at 1080p normally, does it?

I have the CD but downloaded from Steam just to be current. It was $9.99 and worked great.
Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
Or just install from the CD and then download the update pack from:
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2 ... 6-full.exe at a measly 13MB.

It's transferring at 13KB/sec though...
Reminds me of the good old days of trying to get the demo/shareware via modem.

Man the physics in this game are fuckin whack 
Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
I can't join. I see the server and select it and then I get in the console:
Tokay's Towers
Please choose a non-default player
Can't "cmd", not connected

It's a fucking madhouse in there folks! I recommend joining for some old fashioned shit-fest FFA fun 
There were over 30 people when I joined, managed to make it into the top-10 on a few rounds. Pretty fucking hectic, it's mostly luck for me, I haven't played this shit for years.

Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
Saw you on there briefly, mrd. I made it up to 5th place. Hectic is right, with 30 people you don't survive for long and lagging all over the place. I forgot how shit the blaster pistol is to start off with and weapon changes are relatively slow. However, I am a rail god. With that many people, it's not hard to line up several kills with one shot. Someone kept camping the quad, annoying prick. GGz.

Re: id setting up QuaKe II server tonight
Yeah it was pretty stuttery on my end as well. I got quite a few good kills with fckin hand grenades
