Quake2Forge is the QuakeForge port of Quake2. Under slow but steady development, it aims to be a portable, stable codebase maintaining backward compatibility with the id Software original.

• SDL support for software and OpenGL modes.
• Quake2 no longer is dependent on architecture. Heavy use of autoconf to configure the code for your architecture.
• Linux FHS compliant through the use of automake to install dynamic libraries into the right place, data files loaded from the share directory.
• Mouse wheel support, mouse buttons 4 and 5 supported under SDL.
• Big Gun and savegame crashes fixed.
• Sony VAIO Picturebook and Apple Titanium Powerbook video resolution support.
• Support for the Xatrix and Rogue missionpacks (separate source download required).
• OpenGL stencilbuffer shadows.
• Fixed macro expansion rcon_password server exploit.
• Miscellaneous bugfixes.
