I have owned quake 2 for years but was having to much fun playing multiplayer matches over the net to actually try the single player experience. so i have just sat down and completed the game in under five hours. and let me tell u

the end movie was the shittest thinbg ive seen.....ever.

an escape pod, blowing into space and then a hand, and thats it? A HAND? THATS HOW U REWARD ME AFTER HOURS OF DOING UR PUZZLES? Yes, the ID gallery and the tank with those two female things was rather amusing, but OH MY GOD IVE WASTED FIVE HOURS OF MY LIFE AND FOR WHAT? A FUCKING HAND!

Hahahaha that's why IDsoftware got the reputation of doing not so great single player FPS...

They told us that would change with Doom 3, I can't wait to see that.

5 hours for a hand

lol, sorry, but when I first bought Quake2, the first thing I did was run single player. And back then, in 1997/98 (I had q2 from literally Day 1 of it's release), those cutscenes were top of the line, and the ending pretty cool. So, I'm thinking not so much was it a waste of time, but more that your idea of a good ending has changed. You always have to take into account how old a game is when you play single player. Although the ending for Duke Nukem 3D still pwns "Time for some RnR"
