Txc, haven't you heard of the
Strogg? The enemies and cyborgs in Q2 were Strogg and they had invaded Earth. The heroes have to go to their planet to save Earth. This is where Q2 takes place. The Strogg tortured any humans they captured so you encounter this in game.
I know about Strogg after the release of Quake IV .

This was 15 years ago and with Q3 the story was pretty much left in the background which they were criticized for. They tried to revive it in Q4 but the single player game wasn't good enough.

My first fps doesn't sound very specific to me . For instance I have different cathegories of my first FPS :
DooM : the first FPS I ever saw (I haven't watch much of it back then) .
Duke Nukem 3D - the first I've ever played . I thought it DooM , & I didn't know how the game starts & also the title I haven't remember :) . It was also my first PC game & my first time I used PC at all . I played it 30 minutes . At some point I entered a building . BTW naturally after I shot several times I chose the bazooka to be my weapon of choice (of course) . I've killed some monsters & then I entered some small room (back then I didn't realise it is so small) . & I am looking at some blond bloke in front aiming at me with can you guess which gun ? Yes , it was bazooka :D . At the moment I didn't realised what happend ...
My First FPS that showed me
example that
FPSes can be nice
gameplaywise -
half life (I haven't play it much & my conclusion is based on the many hours I watched others playing) . I have played hf multy maybe 4-5 times in my life . BTW My firstview opinion of
Quake III is very negative , if you haven't try it , it looks like lame action ... & In the contrary to the hf's weapons quake III looks silly & I had the feeling they are placeholder weapons . BTW another funny thing I thought back then that hf comes after
cs & it looked so logical (yes , I saw it first in the pc clubs , a bit after they started to play hf) .
CS has such a bad graphics & gameplay & also you respawn unlike in cs where you wait for the other round . At some point they started to play hf a bit more & I saw trend where there was none . & I have just another example that people are dumb & worthless & scum ....
AvP 2 (first game maybe 2003-2004 ) - the first FPS that got me into FPSes (I don't like too much (I mean not at all) the first person perspective . AvP 2 kinda slightly changed my opinion) .(In 1-2 years I understood there is integrated cheat gun for the human & I was so disapointed :( ['' WHAT HAVE THEY THINKING ?!? THOSE ASSHOLES OF DEVELOPERS !@#$ THAT TOTAL IDIOTS !!! ''] , not that I have played it a lot , maybe 7-8 times in multy)Urban Terror ( late (Octomber/Novenber)
2007 - accidently when I was at my friend & she was playing it , so I tryed it . Then I didn't saw anything special in it , but I remembered the title . Few months after that in the (one the first days of August (from 1 to 8 , in that period was the day it started))
August 2008 , so I was bored & I was looking for something to play ... [good that I have played AvP 2 or I would overlook Urban Terror BTW]) - the first FPS & game revealing to me that I am especially good (at some very few moments the best player out there [or at least never saw anyone having better performance compared to my best moments of shooting , not even close]) at FPSes & video games at all . After some months some bugs (it is supposed to be a bug something limiting players' skills , eh ?) made the playing of Urban Terror a nightmare . One of which is such a pain in the ass & it is random . I can compare that feeling with being stabed with toothpick in the eye . Which was and the main reason to register in urbanterror.net ... There would be soon next release 4.2. , which would be ''THE BIG THING'' , but you know what happend & now will see what will happen after HD comes out (honestly , I am not very optimistic) ...

They used to tell you the story as the game was being installed. It used to take a long time back in 1999 so you had lots of time to read.
I played Quake 2 exactly once . You start directly in a room . One of the walls have a hole with sticking out (inside of the room) of it small ship (probably your vehicle?) I play till I reached some elevator & no story , no wall writings , no nothing (probably didn't know where to watch ?) . Didn't saw intro before the stage (not sure if the game was original version) . No cinematic/s until I reached that elevator . & there I stopped playing . It wasn't a pleasure for me to play it .... I dont'know if it is the graphics , fx (which purely aesthetically are nice) maybe animations , don't know what exactly , but something made me feel sick & I couldn't play it for long ... .

Doom has a story as well. It was about a base on Mars.
SO you are using wider definition of what is ''story '' . Following that logic there are absolutely no videogames without story ;) . Usually that amount of stroy like in DooM 1/2 is refered as setting .

They didn't develop it very well in the later games of Doom and the fans found the SP very repetitious with a monster in every closet waiting to jump out at you.
At least the players cannot whine there are too little monsters , they weren't so cheap after all :D . I am joking .
