Yet somehow the reverence for Q2 reigns supreme over almost all of those games apart from perhaps GoldenEye (mainly probably helped by the fact it was for console players - just like Halo) or HL, which is HL. It is a product of it's time, and did beat those others to market.
Action Quake 2 is still my fondest online time of all time. Ah the memories. Also will never forget getting my shiny voodoo 3DFX and then being able to bask in the glory of coloured lighting and bilinear filtering. All the feels!
