Quake 2 fans have something to be happy about as id Software and Nightdive Studios recently rolled out Update 1 for Quake 2 Enhanced Edition. This update comes with a handful of gameplay improvements, balance changes, and bug fixes that aim to refine the overall player experience.

One of the main attractions of this update is the enhanced Compass feature. This makes navigating through objectives in various scenarios easier, benefiting players in Quake 2, Quake 2 64, The Reckoning, and Ground Zero.

For those who enjoy a tactile experience, the game now supports controller vibration when you take damage. For the runners among you, the always-running option is back. The game also makes it easier to manage your save files by showing which campaign each save is from.
