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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Probably wants you to change your player name
Console:
/name Unisaw

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.

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.

Yeah it was pretty stuttery on my end as well. I got quite a few good kills with fckin hand grenades
