About
Q2
Quake II is id Software's 1997 shooter that set the pace for online deathmatch. Its railgun, rocket launcher and strafe jumping made maps like The Edge, Tokay's Towers and The Frag Pipe household names, and Three Wave Capture the Flag turned team play into a sport. More than 25 years later, a loyal community still runs servers for free-for-all, team matches, duels and CTF every night.
A dedicated Quake II server is how that community plays. It stays online around the clock with your own name and map rotation, so your clan and regulars always have somewhere to frag. You pick the game mode, set passwords and hand trusted players an admin login to change maps, run matches and keep things in order.
Game Host Bros will run Quake II servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors with NVMe storage across 14 global server locations. Servers will use Q2PRO, the enhanced Quake II server that community servers run today, with four game modes: Deathmatch on OpenFFA with map voting, Team Deathmatch and duels on OpenTDM, the official Capture the Flag and Cooperative play through the campaign. Each server will build the newest Q2PRO and mod updates every time it restarts, and list on the q2servers.com and quakeservers.net master servers so players can find you.
Custom maps upload straight into your server's files, and the built-in FastDL web server sends them to players when they join, so nobody waits on a slow in-game download. Players join with Q2PRO, R1Q2 or the original Quake II client, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection will keep your matches online.
Game Host Bros will offer Quake II server hosting from $7.99/mo. Rent a Quake 2 dedicated server for your clan or community and you get instant setup, automatic backups, full file access and 14 global locations to keep ping low.
