Quake2World strongly adheres to the philosophy of sane defaults, i.e. it should just work out of the box. Inexperienced players may find that the stock configuration suits them perfectly, while veterans will want to tweak key bindings and advanced preferences. Of course, there are a some settings that you'll need to adjust to suit your computer.
Just like QuakeWorld, Quake2World does not have an in-game menu system. The game is configured via a plain text file. Several alternative configurations are provided with the game. You can find them in the quake2world/default/configs directory.
