  Thanks for noting that.

  The problem I see are the links. This is a somewhat gray area.

  Maybe the instruction to run should be something like:

$ mkdir quake2-dl
$ cd quake2-dl
$ wget http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/idstuff/q2-314-demo-x86.exe
$ unzip q2-314-demo-x86.exe

$ sudo cp Install/Data/baseq2/pak0.pak /usr/lib64/games/quake2/baseq2/

  or

$ mkdir -p ~/.yq2/baseq2
$ cp Install/Data/baseq2/pak0.pak ~/.yq2/baseq2

$ quake2

  The instruction for download link could be better
instructing to download from

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/

and instead of having it in %description, have it in a
README.fedora %doc file.

  This is my first time checking these as well, but I suggest
checking the packages that use the quake3 engine. They use
wrappers, and some other checks, for example
/usr/share/opengl-games-utils/opengl-game-functions.sh and
checkDriOK, that would by default not start if there is no
3D acceleration. Some of that may be somewhat outdated.

  openarena distributes its free data files.

   worldofpadman and quake3-demo uses autodownloader. Maybe
you could use a similar approach, having a quake2 wrapper, and
use autodownloader to download and extract to $HOME/.yq2/baseq2,
this would as well ensure the user knows what is being done,
and agrees to any licenses.

  What you think about using autodownloader? Please check
quake3-demo and worldofpadman packages, and how those packages
use a wrapper shell, and the related .autodlrc file.
