GameSpy version 1.52 does not properly support game mods for Quake 2, so you have to setup a Custom Tab in GameSpy to do this: – In GameSpy, bring down the “View” menu, click on “Custom tab”, select “Add” and name it “Q2 CTF”. – Place a checkmark next to “Run a custom game for servers in this tab” – Place a checkmark next to “Exec script” and in the box next to it type: a +set game ctf – Place a checkmark next to “Use these features when servers in this tab are double-clicked in another tab” – Make sure there is no checkmark next to “Don’t remove items when they fail tab filters” – Select the “Filtering” tab, click on the “Add” button and setup a filter that says “Server name does contain CTF”. – click OK twice. That’s it. To play a Q2 CTF game, make sure you have the Quake2 master server button pressed on the left-hand side of the window and the Q2 CTF tab pressed along the top.
