"Made a new map, this time for Quake 2 deathmatch. I have mainly focused on the modification Action Quake 2, but now it's time for a first release for Quake 2 deathmatch. It probably plays best with a small player load, but will probably be a lot of fun with more players. Crowded, laughing, insane. You are in a castle high up above. It's a mix between fantasy and medieval. The map is small and generous with its items and weapons. Heavy weapons on lower level and you are forced to climb the net to reach the upper lever. It features new graphics, both env's and textures. The r_speeds values are kept pretty low, so no need to upgrade machine just for this little baby. Have fun! Post comments and feedback."

UniCTF — Quake 2 CTF maps

"The assumption of the UniCTF project is to combine the original CTF and TDM games, in short it is the same CTF enriched with new TDM maps rebuilt (double, mirror reflection of the original maps q2dmX, q2duel8, fury, q2rdm2 ptrip etc., maps are larger and more dynamic than most maps that were in ctf) and the new mod... TDM enriched with CTF support. A significant difference is also the lack of grapple."

"I knew right away he would be coming after me. So I changed my style and waited for him to come. Like I would trap him in a room, and then he’d be forced—because he was down—to be the one that comes around the corner and starts shooting. But I’d be shooting at the corner, so he had nothing to do but take the first shot in the face. That’s how I ended up winning."

"Hi, I'm CureMode from AOL and DWANGO. This is my new Site on New World Data's Icebox Online, which will hopefully free me from AOL's Evil Grip. Here on my Page you will find links to some of my favorite topics and sites. They include Bands, TV shows, Movies, and Quake info. Check out my new Quake section for info on the game and The Clan of The Caveman. I wish I could store all this stuff locally but my Server space is limited. Check out my Resume, I am a Multimedia Specialist and Consultant. If you know of any opportunities in the New York / Manhattan area please pass them along to me at..."

Gamers Extreme: Resources for the Hardcore Gamer — GX Guide to Quake II CTF

"Like the game of Quake II itself, Capture the Flag is an incredibly fun experience, but even that can be heightened greatly by understanding the basic and advanced strategies used by veteran players to frag and cap with ease. These strategies involve the knowledge and implementation of the game's 'Tech Powerups,' standard Deathmatch skills to employ in fights, and later, communication with members of your team, setting up offensive and defensive squads, and much more. CTF, as a 'goal-based' game, redefines standard free-for-all and team games, and is truly the Thinking Man's Quake II."
