Quake2World is a Free, standalone first person shooter video game based on id Tech2. Our goal is to bring the fun of oldschool deathmatch to a more contemporary platform, and perhaps to a new generation of gamers. Quake2World is multiplayer-only. There is no single-player or offline gameplay mode. If you have no Internet and no friends, Quake2World might not be for you. Some of Quake2World's features include:
- Deathmatch, Capture, Instagib, and Rocket Arena gameplay modes right out of the box.
- Teams Play and Match Mode support, with Warmup and Ready functionality.
- High quality original levels and remakes of Quake series classics.
- Original sounds and game music by Roland Shaw.
- 100% free to download, play and modify. See our licensing page.
Preview releases of Quake2World for all platforms are available for download on the project website. Installation instructions are available there as well.
Compilation of Quake2World is only recommended for users running GNU/Linux or MacOS X. Windows users should consider using our cross-compiled snapshots. For more information, see Installation and Maintenance.
Quake2World builds with GNU Autotools. To build it, run the following:
autoreconf -i
./configure [--with-tests --with-master --without-tools --without-client]
make -j3 && sudo make install
To have a working game, you must install the game data. You have two options: git or rsync. If you wish to work on the experimental branch, or if you wish to modify the game data, you should use git:
git clone https://github.com/jdolan/quake2world-data.git
sudo ln -s quake2world-data/target /usr/local/share/quake2world
If you're working on master and have no plans to modify the game data, you can simply run sudo make rsync-data from the source code working copy.
More information on hacking on Quake2World is available on the project website.
