The Quake series is such a divisive franchise. Every game is different from the last. But it's funny how the games people hate the most (Quake 2,4, and Enemy Territory) are the only ones with any cohesion. Quake 1 and 3 are the ones people rave about the most, but they have nothing to do with the war against the Strogg.

Wtf, you do realise quake has various meaning and it's not entirely associated with Quake game franchise XDDD Idk how unintelligent you have to be to blow out such comment.
