Summary
Quake II is a first-person shooter video game released in December 1997. It was developed by id Software and published by Activision.
There are six newly introduced weapons: the Blaster, Machine Gun, Chain Gun, Hyperblaster, Railgun, and BFG10K.
And new power-ups including: the Ammo Pack, Invulnerability, Bandolier, Enviro-Suit, Rebreather, and Silencer.
The player is given mission-based objectives that correspond to the storyline, including stealing a Tank Commander's head to open a door and calling down an air-strike on a bunker. The game features large levels with many wide open areas. There is also a hub system that allows the player to travel back and forth between levels, which is necessary to complete certain objectives.
Quake II takes place in a science fiction environment. In the single-player game, the player assumes the role of a Marine named Bitterman taking part in "Operation Alien Overlord", a desperate attempt to prevent an alien invasion of Earth by launching a counterattack against the home planet of the hostile Strogg civilization.
