Welcome to download central. On this page I've listed links to several files that are required for this tutorial. You don't have to download them all right now if you want. Just read through the tutorial and when a file becomes neccessary the tutorial will instruct you to download it by directing you here.


Quake 2 Version 3.20
Below are the links to the 3.20 patch (5 megabytes), the final patch. If you already have Quake 2 version 3.1X download and run this patch. If you don't, then download the full patch, which is below these links.

This is the full 3.20 patch (13.8 megs) that includes the official deathmatch maps. Download this patch only if you have a version of Quake 2 that is lower than 3.1x, or you have never patched Quake II before.

Quake 2 CTF Version 1.05
These are the files you'll need to play Capture the Flag with Quake 2. Make sure you have the latest version of Quake 2 before downloading CTF, also, if you downloaded the full version of Quake 2 with CTF you may only need the upgrade to CTF 1.05. Below is the full install. Get this if you've only got Quake 3.20 without CTF
