I am still playing Q2 on a daily basis. You can download Q2 and see all live servers without downloading an address file. http://q2s.tastyspleen.net/

There is still an active development for quake2 executable and anticheat detection.

There are roughly 20-30 people playing almost on a daily basis. We have tournaments too. (This year's tournament will play its finals).

You can also check q2servers.com. Most players have been playing for over 20+ years. The average age is between 35-55. Twitch and discord channels are also very active. Finally we are playing with voice chat (which is kind of useless considering the speed of the game).

I'm in that demographic. Started playing Q2 online in 97/98 before switching to Q3A in 99. Lately I've been playing Q2 Enhanced. What I miss the most is the OSP tourney mod.

That's an awesome comment, thabk you! I used to be a Q2 teen. These days my own teens are older than when I was playing it for the most part.

I'm inclined to grab a copy and see what's new, and jump online to find out just how rusty I am.

Q2Pro is the standard in the servers. You'd get kicked or see warnings without it:
