Action Quake 2
Name: Action Quake 2
Author: The A-Team (Akimbo Team Productions, LLC)
Date: 04/November/1998 (v1.0c)
Category: Multiplayer mod
Description: Action Quake 2 (also known as AQ2, Action, Action Quake) is a mod for the computer game Quake II created by The A-Team.[1] Although originally released in 1998, it still has a small player base mainly in South America, Scandinavia and especially in Finland, with active servers on several continents as of 2008. AQ2 was developed to recreate the look and feel of an action movie, having a fast pace and a semi-realistic damage system. It features many maps recreating realistic settings, such as city streets and office buildings, with a balanced range of weapons and equipment inspired by action movies.
Action Quake 2 is essentially a version of deathmatch and team deathmatch in which most of the classic elements have been modified to some degree. Damage to extremities such as a shot to the leg with any weapon will cause damage and bleeding, along with crippling the player's movement until they bandage themselves.
With a then unique style of play, realistic weapons and fast pace, AQ2 became one of the most popular Quake II mods. The mod caught the attention of id Software in June 1998, who wished to include it in their upcoming Quake II: Internet Pack No. 1 (Netpack 1): Extremities, a commercial add-on product for Quake II. This expansion CD was released in the U.S. on November 26, 1998, included was the final version 1.0c of Action Quake, along with 11 other publicly available mods, a collection of Quake 2 deathmatch maps, and player skins. Members of the development team would later go on to work on titles such as Action Half-Life and Counter-Strike. (Wikipedia)

Quake II Mission Pack: Die Hard
Name: Die Hard
Author: _BalaSharK_
Date: 04/April/2009
Category Maps: Single Player mod
Description: A single-player Quake2 Mission Pack with 6 levels and WOD-X v1.4 engine!
Commentary: My first impression when I played this mission pack, was how great is designed: the helicopter, the mansion and the unnecesary (but funny!!!) explosions when you shoot with any weapon. The only problem it has, is an error at the end of first level, specifically in the elevator, where you can't go into to continue to the second level. In any case, this SP pack is highly recommended to try.
