Hello, folks.

As you can see, Nightdive Studios did an amazing job of remastering Q2. They also provided us with pre-release, unused, and old content for Quake 2.

E3 1997 and ETCS maps

The update contains maps from E3 (June 19, 21 – ), ETCS 97, (September 7-9 The maps are accessible through the main menu -> ID Vault Development.

Do something:

• Playable: E3 1997
• Playable: ECTS 97

Note: ECTS 97 ends at the level “kmdm3_ec” at the point you take out Tank Commander and it’s not a matter of saying that it’s the end of ECTS 97 maps.

Old maps that are no longer accessible (access via the main menu isn’t possible)

There are maps that haven’t been remastered as of yet in the “old” folder of the game archive. It is believed to be an alternative version of Q2 maps. Some are even older than E3 levels.

You can access them via console ( key on the keyboard, to the left uppermost, under Escape). You have to type the command “map oldbaseold”.

Maps of the list:

• Baseold
• city2_4
• fact1
• fact2
• fact3
• Facthub
• hangarold
• kmdm3
• pjtrain1
• ware1
