My favorite game of all time!
The almost all of the guys I played with (a clan made up of all ***s, cept
me *mind only* :) ) don't even play PC games anymore because nothing came
out that they have enjoyed as much as Q2.
A couple of the guys I know still play it!
I have since moved on to console *** fulltime but I am holding out hope
that eventually another FPS game will give me the same rush Q2 once did.

There is a group of us mates that get together about once a month,
link up 6 playstations using 4 TV's and 2 projectors. We mostly play
GT3, which is excellent over Firewire. We also use the PS2's online
too, but the 6 player GT3 link-up always ends up becoming the one to
play.
I for one do not mind there not being any online ability in GT4, I
bought all the GT series for the driving physics and graphics of the
game - which astounded me, and still do. What I would like however,
which needs improving (and is still the same in GT4-Prologue) is
better AI, which is massive pants.
I know of one person who has cancelled his pre-booking of GT4 from
Amazon due to the lack of online functionality, which to be honest,
was one of the major features of the game. Well atleast GT4 is
LAN'able and some of us do have the adapter, so we will simply switch
from Firewire to CAT45. So I will still be buying GT4.
I do not know how popular the PS2 is online, but I know the X-BOX is
massive and seems to chucking out online games like there is no
tomorrow - including driving games.

Personally I agree, no on-line is fine with me. But, as you're obviously in
the know...
Is the Fireware connection a standard firewire? or do I need to hunt down an
old PS/2 special cable? Trying to find one for our monthly race sessions (we
make do with either split screen - yuck, ghost car racing or timed runs).
Also, just a thought, but assuming you can network play, surely a wan is a
slightly slower lan, and as such, if you know the other machine's IP address
or something you can simply lan to that. But, to be honest I'm way out of my
depth with PS/2 networking as I don't know how they connect to the net, and
so perhaps some enlightened souls would let me know!

If you are trying to play with only two PS/2s, a normal firewire cable will
be enough to connect them. The fun begins when you try to connect more than
two machines. Then you need a firewire hub and cables with six wires on one
end and four on the other.

No need to hub it, so I'll purchase a standard firewire...

Indeed, I was mildly surprised such hack was never created for a
firewire-based PS2-PC-Internet-PC-PS2 linkup for playing GT3, but I
think there are technical issues that may have made that tricky.
One caveat: there's more than one "standard" firewire. You want a 4-pin
to 4-pin cable. They're not the most common type, but should cost $10 or
less from a wide variety of sources. I don't know if they'd be the
cheapest source, but places that sell digital camcorders are likely to
have these, along with better AV or computer stores everywhere.
The trick is that 6-pin firewire cables are quite common, but will not
work. 4-to-6 cables are probably the most common type, since that's what
you need to connect a camcorder to a computer, most of the time (Sony is
almost alone in putting 4-pin Firewire connectors on their computers).
Just in case you care, the difference is that the extra two pins on a
6-pin cable carry power, so you can power or charge light-duty devices
(hard drives, iPods...) without an external power supply. The 4-pin
connector is smaller, though, so it is nearly standard on
space-constrained devices, which means digital video cameras.
Firewire (aka IEEE 1394) hubs are probably available in 4- or 6-pin
arrangements, but in either case are a somewhat rare item.
