To be honest I love the intro and the backstory(there is one!).
I loved the retro futurism of Quake 2. Whole aesthetic. That you have futuristic weapons and also pretty old school like and old looking(for the time in story) shotguns, smg's and a chaingun. Hated the quake 4 quake 2 reboot, and I didn't even touch Quake Wars even when I loved Enemy Territory...
To me Quake 2 is unique the same as Quake 1. I love oldschool scifi's like Aliens, Treks(apart TOS, and not kelvin upwards), old SW, over fantasy so thats why Q1 is for me inferior, but it's still important and good game.
Also I got into pc gaming when Q2 camed around.

Thats why in 2018, like twenty years late I made a mod to somehow fix and patch the game to standards of next gen FPS'es like Half-Life as much as I could for now :). I'm not finished and let's say I just started programming in C.

And what space marine game is better ? Doom3 ? Ok. Elite Force was awesome.
I think the Q2 theme is great and would be whole lot better if expanded properly. Too bad ID was busy making technology and forgot about making universes or rather thinking it wasn't important.
