This mission pack provides some improvements to gameplay: new enemies and improved old ones. For example, "guys with green force shields" are improved, so they can do something finally. Also, enforcers do not need to distort the bolt before shooting. These things make gameplay much harder comparing to original quake 2.
First expansion to the main game Quake II. If you loved playing that game you are definitely going to love playing this first expansion. It's a must-play.

A mission pack for Quake 2 with new levels and a few extra monsters, weapons, and gadgets. The level architecture was fairly dull, consisting mostly of warehouses and generic rectangular corridors. But the new weapons, the Phalanx and Ion Ripper, were pretty fun. The new monsters were mostly just variants of already existing ones. Check out my guide to setting up the KMQuake 2 engine for a better gaming experience. Also search Steam Discussions for "Missing Music download" by BloodShed to get the original music that came with the retail CD.
Q1 map packs > Q1 > Q2 > Q2 map packs. A real let down after how good Q2 was. Don't bother with either mission pack for Q2 but definitely play the original's if you have them. Rated the same as "Ground Zero" because I remember them both being equally bad in map design, gameplay balance, and overall difficulty.
SummaryThe question you need to ask yourself is whether you enjoy Quake II enough to merit playing it again, because The Reckoning is a supplement rather than an improvement.
