It's not easy to find Q2 players anymore. This game evolved into a standalone based off of q2's engine.
I played q1 with a 14.4 modem and a 900 ping... with just the keyboard. I've played the whole quake series online. Q2 still stands alone as a skilled online shooter in my opinion. Q3 was horrid, and q4 never took off online, the developers for ra4 dropped out I believe(correct me if I'm wrong)? Ra2 and pball are still the best mods for q2. Way back in the day (before everyone got good at fps), I was ranked 42nd in the world in Ra2 on theCLQ.com and clanned on OGL's open ladder.

I just checked CLQ's stats, there are currently 187 players online playing Q2 with 118 active servers.

Wow... q4 online players are currently 127 with 198 active servers, gives you an idea of how a good game like q2 can hold up over time.

q3 has around 4,000 players with 1,800 servers...

TW CTF I feel was the best Quake/QuakeWorld mod of all time.

Hehe they're slowly crawling out of the woodwork, well if anyone fancies a game sometime I'm still running a server. It's pretty quiet these days so I've got some gladiator bots that will keep you company until some real players turn up.

There is even a link to download q2 if you lost your CD! Someone should do a DM1 paintball map  :D

 There are multiple q2dm1 ports in paintball.

Look for The Edge (either theedge.bsp or edge.bsp) or maybe you can even find q2dm1.bsp, I know HolyCorny ported it to dp with that filename.

ok, here it is:
ftp://www.otb-server.de/pub/Maps/theedge.bsp
 I dont know if this is the q2dm1.bsp by corny (which looked nice [texture wise]), but ill post it anyway ftp://www.otb-server.de/pub/Maps/q2dm1.bsp

I just got back into a q2 mod called vortex.  Check it out, it's pretty fun.
