does such a game exist? something like quake2. all the open-source first person shooters i've seen are multiplayer games.

"Quake 2" (or any id game for that matter, they're all the same) and "plot" should never be used together.

AFAIK, Beyond messages like "You must invade the factory and steal the quad!" in the Cube single-player missions, there aren't any open-source FPS's with anything resembling a plot.

Aliens Vs Predator is brilliant, the port has no MP so you're assured that we spent more time developing the SP :)

where do i get the gamedata?
Code:
$ AvP
Unable to find the AvP gamedata.
The directory last examined was: .
Has the game been installed and
are all game files lowercase?

not from the commercial CD, i hope. i'm looking for something that's free.

quake2 requires the quake 2 cd-rom (else you get shareware). The other two may work fine without the quake 1 data.
