(The events of Earth Offensive take place before the ill-fated human assault on Stroggos presented in id Software's original Quake 2 release.)

The Story

Installation and Play:

| 1. Unzip the contents of the file you downloaded, eo.zip, into your \Quake2 directory. This will create a folder called eo, containing the files necessary for playing.
| 2. To play, open a DOS window, move to your \Quake2 directory and start Quake 2 with the following command line: quake2 +set game eo +set skill skill level +map eo1 For skill level, use a value of 0, 1 or 2 for easy, medium or hard skill level respectively.
