INT32
Quake II was the highly anticipated sequel to id Software's revolutionary
Quake. Since the release in 1997, Quake II was the superior game over the
other FPS games back in those years. However, recent games are giving this
game a run for it's money. Titles such as Jedi Outcast and Quake II Arena
have proven to be better games to play than the ageing Quake II.
But this game is still popular with many gamers, either just for nostalgic fun
or their computers don't quite meet the required specifications for the
newer games. Fire up Gamespy and you'll see a planets worth of servers, all
running Quake II, while some of them even have active mods.
However, this game is not to be taken lightly, even though it may be old,
Quake II can still hold a box of surprises for the uncoordinated player.

Minimum System Requirements:
English Language version of Windows 95 or NT 4.0 with 100% compatible system
Pentium 90mhz processor (130mhz recommend)
16 megs RAM (24 recommend)
100% Sound Blaster Compatible sound card
Quad speed CD ROM
25 - 400 MB hard disk space
*If you have problems playing Quake II on Windows XP, try restarting it in
compatibility mode (Windows 95 or Windows 98/ME) and make sure you have the
latest patches installed.
After you pop the disk in and watch the intro, the game will dump you on
the main menu screen. You have 5 options:
-GAME
-MULTIPLAYER
-OPTIONS
-VIDEO
-EXIT
It's a pretty good idea to start configuring your controls before you jump
into the battlefield, so select OPTIONS and hit [Enter]. You'll
now be shown a list of options that you can change, I'll go through
each one in detail:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects Volume: Basically, the volume of how loud the game is, you can set
this to the highest setting if you want
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD Music: Determines if CD Music will be played during the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound Quality: The quality of the sound that comes through your speakers.
For best sound, select High Quality
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mouse Speed: How fast your mouse responds when you move it. Setting it to the
highest setting will probably send it flying across the screen
with a touch, so it may be best to leave it at the half-way point.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always Run: Always have this option on, running makes you move faster and can
make it easier to escape from somewhere, much easier to enable this
option than to hold down the [SHIFT] key. Remember that your
footsteps can be heard, so hold down [SHIFT] to walk when you're
trying to sneak up on someone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invert Mouse: Reverses the Up/Down direction of the mouse, recommended option
is off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lookspring: Automatically "springs" your view to default if you are
looking up or down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lookstrafe: Not exactly sure what this does, best to leave it at off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freelook: Allows you to look around at your own pleasure with the mouse,
turn this option on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crosshair: Determine what your crosshair looks like, there's no difference
between them but I prefer the cross.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below I have included the default game controls, then under that I have listed
my own set of controls:
DEFAULT CONTROLS
Keyboard
--------
[ W ] - Move Forward
[ S ] - Move Back
[ A ] - Strafe Left
[ D ] - Strafe Right
[SPACE] - Jump
[ C ] - Switch Weapon
Mouse
------
[BUTTON 1] - Shoot
[BUTTON 2] - Crouch
[MOVE MOUSE FWRD] - Look Up
[MOVE MOUSE BCKWD] - Look Down

Strafing
An age old technique to use in gunfights, strafing can be what saves your
life. You can use it to circle around the enemy you are firing at and also
dodge some of their shots.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ducking
A very useful move to use. Ducking while in a gunfight can increase your
chances of survival. Just remember not to use it too much and to move while
ducking. Combine this with strafing for good results.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping
Also a helpful tactic. Jumping at a distance can through off your opponents
aim. Jump behind structures to throw your opponents aim completely.
Combine this with Strafing and Ducking for excellent results.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running (Otherwise known as bailing)
If someone had a rocket launcher aimed at your head, would you simply turn your
back and walk off? Of course not! You'd (as I would when I've got a Blaster
in hand) bail and get out of there as fast as you can! Although going around
tight corners can be tricky with this set to on, there are far more positives
