A solid expansion for Quake 2! Played this as part of the new Quake 2 remaster and like I said in my review of The Reckoning expansion, I only ever played the base game before in the past, so this was new content for me. And I'm surprised to see quite a few negative reviews for this one?

As a story expansion this was longer then Reckoning, and I think much better paced. They also doll out ammo at a much more fair rate, so you don't feel outmatched constantly. In terms of the new weapons added I found the weapon line up much better and more useful then Reckoning. They even give you the BFG in this which was a god sent and again something you didn't get in Reckoning. New enemy types includes these cybernetic spiders that can crawl on walls and spit at you, as well as turrets that appear out of the walls. There annoying at first but once you get used to fighting them, there not so bad. The final boss was something new too and not just a repeat of the one in the base game which I appreciated a lot.

Overall, I loved this one and it will probably be my go to expansion whenever I replay Quake 2.
