Quake II/Controls

Like many other computer games, the PC version of Quake 2 has highly customizable controls. The default controls are more or less a template that players can modify to suit their needs. Furthermore, customization of controls expands further than what is available in the menus. Players can bind keys using Quake 2's powerful console (accessed via tilde or ~).

For example, a player can type the command "bind g god; give weapons" to set the G key to toggling invulnerability and giving all weapons. Quake 2's quick save feature is also a similar command string. According to the config.cfg file where the player's configuration is stored, quick save is the following command: bind F6 "echo Quick Saving...; wait; save quick" The quick load command is similar.
