************************************************
-Objective 1: Penetrate the Outer Jail Defenses*
************************************************

After getting through the air ducts, kill the Enforcers and then use the
explosive barrel to get a Flak Jacket (if you blew the explosive crate up
already, then you can't get the Flak Jacket unfortunately :P). Advance through
the door and when you reach the bridge, jump into the moat beneath you.
Go through the tunnel (the one that is half-filled with water) to the end.
Nab the grenades and go through the other tunnel. After you appear in a large
room, take the items from the shelf, then jump into the water and swim through
the big rotor (be very careful while doing this, or you'll be chopped to bits),
then swim upwards and you'll find yourself in another room. Exit the room
and enter the passageway that will lead you to room that has some armor
shards for use. Look around and you should see a grate that looks pretty
weak, shoot it and go through.

Move up the ladder ahead of you and you'll be lead to a tower with two big
doors. Make your way to the elevator inside the tower, when you reach the top,
go outside and kill the enemy operating the big gun on ground level. Look
around you and activate the floor switch. Go back down the elevator and enter
the door that you previously opened.

***********************************************
-Objective 2: Locate the blue and red keycards*
***********************************************

After the elevator ride, turn left and follow the hall until you reach the
outside. Grab the Bandolier and go down the stairs. Go through the
hallway. Go on some more stairs, into a room with several window things.
Kill the Strogg that hit the alarm and sweep the room. Get the blue keycard
near the stairs, then go back to the locked door at the beginning of this
objective. Enter the door and through the hall. You'll come into a small
open area, directly opposite you is an elevator, take it. Kill the Strogg
on the other side and then go back down the elevator, and take the exit
on the right. Enter the door to discover that there are HUMANS inside here!
Go around to the right and enter the doorway to your right. Opposite the
stairs, on the wall, you'll see a yellow button that needs pushing. Do a
360ø turn and go up the stairs. Kill the two Gladiators then jump into the
prison cell and kill the humans since they're no help to you. Then go through
the door on the opposite side and kill the Strogg.

Go straight across and down the stairs until you reach a room that has some
catwalks. Take the stairs on your left and after that take the first
doorway on your left again.

Keep going until you find a Gladiator guarding a Red Key. Kill him and take it.

* Never stop moving, standing still makes you a watermelon prize ready to
be blasted into oblivion

* Always move with caution, your enemies may be lying in wait for you.
Running in with guns blazing isn't always the most effective strategy

* Always check your surroundings, you may find some useful weapons or
items for use.

* You can tell what version of Quake 2 you have by starting Quake 2 and
bringing down the console (hit the tilde key (~). The console will then
appear. In the lower right corner of the console is the version number.

OPF54

Although there usually better online games than this to play, Quake II
can offer hours of fun online play. This section will help you get up to
speed with the online play.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MULTIPLAYER REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though these requirements are probably considered "old", I'll still be
including them for people who aren't sure if their Internet is suited for
online play if they have a REALLY old modem.

NETWORK PLAY

This type of connection is usually used by people for are playing from
either school or at work. These use Ethernet cards to connect up and the
connection is usually fast enough (if not more) for a good online play
session. Make sure that your teacher/boss doesn't catch you playing online
if games are banned at your workplace/school

MODEM PLAY

The minimum required speed for playing Quake II online is at least 28kbps,
even though this is considered ancient by today's standards, there are still
at least 0.01% of the population still using that speed, so take that into
consideration. 56kbps is reasonable for online play but cable is all the
better for smoother online play.

*NOTE:

It has come to my attention that some users of AOL and Compuserve Internet may
have problems trying to play Quake II online, it's not the games fault since
the problem lies with AOL and Compuserve. Apparently, they do not provide
a true Internet connection, so while general browsing, etc. will be fine,
playing games online won't be. My recommendation is to switch to a new ISP
if you're really desperate to play a game online.

Now, make sure that you have the latest version of Quake 2, version
3.20, you can download the Quake II Point Release (which includes the
3.20 patch, VWep pak as well as the official iD Software maps) from
http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/planetquake/files/q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe
(You have to be a member of fileplanet to download this file, fortunately
registering as a member is completely free & surprisingly easy :D )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Meaning Of Death in Deathmatch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deathmatch games in Quake II are pretty simple to figure out. Your main
objective during an online game is to kill (in Quake II, kills can also be
called Frags) as many people as you can find, thus trying to get the highest
score before the game inconveniently ends. Suicides deduct a point off your
score while normal Frags gain you a point. Other modes include (only in version
3.20 though) CTF (Capture The Flag) where you must attempt to infiltrate the
enemy base, steal their flag and then run all the way back to your base to
successfully capture their flag. All of this must be done while defending
your own base against any forms of attack and to keep pushing the enemy back.
This of course, is almost impossible if you were by your self, but that's why
this is a team game... So work as a team and you'll win.

Another mode is the Team Deathmatch mode. This doesn't really need much
explaining, as it's basically deathmatch with teams. Yet again, work wisely
with your team mates for a good rate of success.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up the Player Profile
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not very necessary, but fun to do anyway. Setting up your Quake II Profile
will let you have your own identity in online play instead of using the
default one.

-Name

Simple really, just type in your online nickname, it's probably best to
avoid rude words that can offend other players. Try not to use names that are
hard to read.

-Player Model

Choose your player skin, available classes include Human Male, Human Female
and Cyborg. There are no differences between the classes, besides the
appearance.

-Skin

Choose a variation of your character model, there are several for each
class, so take your time in choosing one that suits your taste.

-Handedness

This refers the position your hand is on the screen, you can have the
default right, left or centre (showing no hands).

*Note that on the REALLY slow computers, setting your handedness to centre
can help improve your overall performance (even though you won't see any
hand actions)


-LATEST VERSION

To play online, I highly recommend that you use the most up to date version
of Quake II (being 3.20 at the time of writing).
