Introduction 
     
       This document was created to catalogue and compile all data relating to the combat system of Quake2 by id software.  Most of the weapons are fairly straight forward, but some things (like the BFG10k or Power Armor) work in unexpected ways. Because of these subtleties, an expert player will undoubtedly wish to study this FAQ and learn Quake2's combat system thereby improving their Quake2 gaming ability in single play and deathmatch. 

       Although much of the information below is applicable in single play most of the strategies were written with deathmatch in mind. 

       Advanced players will surely find some, if not much, of this information useful.  It was collected and compiled with the help of many experts in our community and through hours of studying the Quake 2 game source code and playing the game by the author. 

       Also for advanced players are accurate statistics about each of the weapons and power-ups relating to combat gathered directly from the Quake2 source code. 

       I hope you find the information within this document as useful and informative as I've found it.
