 = Action Quake 2: how to setup and start playing
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Quake_2|Action Quake 2]] is predecessor for a popular game "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike|Counter-Strike]]" made by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minh_Le|the same developer]]. It is mostly free software now, so it is a good game to play if you prefer using mostly free software. Gameplay is something in between Counter Strike and Quake 2, I would describe it as "It is CS, but fun and it is also an arena shooter", by "arena shooter" I mean there is no tasks such as planting the bomb, the game uses Quake 2 gamemode such as DM (Deathmatch), TDM (Team Deathmatch), CTF and so on.

 Just buy it, look for installed folder and copy paste baseq2 folder to `~/.q2pro/baseq2`. For steam version on linux it would be `~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Quake \ 2/baseq2`.
