Corporal Matthew Kane prepares to take out the Strogg Nexus with his Rail GunThe Quake 4 single player mode continues the story of by pitting the player against a known as the. The game follows the story of a Marine Corporal named Matthew Kane who is joining the elite Rhino Squad. Following the success of the protagonist of Quake II in destroying the Strogg's leader, the Makron, Rhino Squad is tasked with spearheading the mission to secure the aliens' home planet Stroggos.
In the course of the invasion, the squad ship is shot down and crashes in the middle of a battle zone, separating Kane from his companions. Kane rejoins his scattered team members and partakes in the assault against the Strogg.After performing a number of tasks, such as destroying and capturing Strogg aircraft hangars and defense systems, Kane and his remaining squad members make it to the USS Hannibal. There they are given their next mission: infiltrating one of the Strogg's central communication hubs, the Tetranode, with an bomb in the hope that it will put the main Strogg Nexus in disarray. Kane is tasked with defending the mission convoy, which takes heavy casualties.
After many setbacks, including the destruction of the EMP device by a Strogg ambush, Kane is left to complete the mission, assisted only by Private Johann Strauss and Lance Corporal Nikolai 'Sledge' Slidjonovitch. Strauss figures out a way to destroy the core by shutting down its coolant systems. As Kane reaches the entrance to the Tetranode, however, he is greeted by two rocket-equipped network guardians, as well as the newly constructed Makron, which easily defeats Kane and knocks him unconscious.When Kane awakens, he finds himself strapped to a conveyor belt in the Strogg 'Medical Facilities', a structure used for turning those captured and killed by the aliens either into protein food or additional Strogg units. In a long and gruesome first-person, Kane is taken through this 'stroggification' process which violently replaces much of his anatomy with bio-mechanical parts. Before the final controlling neurochip implanted in his brain can be activated, though, Rhino Squad bursts into the facility and rescues Kane.
After escaping through the Strogg medical facility and Waste Disposal plant, fighting off zombie-like half-stroggified humans along the way, Kane is forced to combat his former commander, Lieutenant Voss (Michael Gannon), who has been fully stroggified into a powerful mechanized monster but retains his own consciousness long enough to warn Kane. After defeating this threat, Kane and the remaining marines finally make it back to the Hannibal.The commanders realize that Kane's Strogg physiology has opened up new possibilities for defeating the Strogg, as he can be used to infiltrate locations and teleportation areas previously impenetrable and/or fatally harmful to human forces. The new plan is to directly target the Strogg Nexus Core, a huge centralized brain-like structure which controls the alien forces.
The Marines are tasked with infiltrating the three data towers adjacent to the Nexus: Data Storage, Processing, and Networking. There, they will deactivate the Nexus' shield and power up the teleporter used to access the Nexus and send Kane in. Once inside, Kane will travel to the center of the Nexus to destroy the Core Brain and its guardian.After infiltrating the facility and realigning the data nodes powering the teleporter, and destroying its fearsome 'Guardian' creature, Kane reaches the Nexus core. There he meets the Makron in a final showdown and kills it.
This accomplished, he destroys the Core and returns to the Hannibal. Celebrating with Rhino Squad afterward, Kane receives word that he has new orders. Development The version of Quake 4 was released at the launch of the Xbox 360 and is compatible. There have been major issues with frame rates for the console adaptation, earning it the award for Most Aggravating Frame Rate/Best Slideshow in the GameSpot.com Best and Worst of 2005 list. In addition, the Xbox 360 port of Quake 4 has very long load times and Xbox Live glitches that result in problematic multiplayer experiences, as documented by game review sites as well as on Activision's support pages for the Xbox 360 version. This version was initially priced the same as the PC Special Edition DVD and features the same content. Aspyr Media published and released Quake 4 for on April 5, 2006, initially only for based, but later as a compatible with both - and -based.

The binary can be downloaded for free from id's servers and it requires a licensed copy of Quake 4 for Windows or OS X in order to run. The Linux installer was made available two days after the release of the game itself.Having worked on the theme music for, and, were brought in to compose and produce the main theme respectively for Quake 4.The rest of the music were composed by Raven's audio leads, Zachary Quarles and.On April 11, 2012, it was announced that Quake 4 would be re-released for the Xbox 360 and PC on June 19, with publication handled by Bethesda.

Unlike the original Xbox 360 version, the Bethesda re-release does not include the port of Quake II.Like its predecessors, Quake 4 can be modified. This led to Quake 4 versions of popular mods from previous versions of Quake, such as, and Quake 4 Fortress (the Quake 4 version of ). Quake 4 Fortress was abandoned before its creators considered it complete; instead they released an alpha version complete with source code.
In the competitive gaming scene, there were two principal mods, Q4Max and X-Battle. The online Quake 4 competitive community was split between the two mods. A number of the online leagues switched between X-Battle and Q4Max, such as ClanBase EuroCup and GGL. Despite this split in the online community, the offline professional LAN tournaments run by CPL, ESWC, WCG, QuakeCon, and WSVG all used Q4Max. Members of both the Q4Max and X-Battle teams joined forces with Adam 'SyncError' Pyle of and developed another mod, Delta CTF, which brought style to Quake 4. Another notable mod is SABot, which successfully implemented multiplayer bots in Quake 4 less than a month after the was released, despite this being a feature that some reviewers criticised Quake 4 for not including.

I think the majority of negative reaction when it first came out was from people who just wanted more of Divine Divinity. Auroraparadox: If you review BD as a standalone game and not as the sequel to DD, is it worth purchasing? Beyond Divinity did a few things differently; some elements were better (summoning dolls were a good idea, the stat system allowed much more variety in character development) and some not (the weapon expertise skills were over specialized by damage type, but that is easily avoided by sticking to weapons that do conventional damage). Beyond divinity review.
Websites and magazines such as and praised its single-player campaign, graphics and Hollywood voice-acting, but complained that its multiplayer was too much like Quake III 's. Gave Quake 4 an 8.0 and it also said: 'The single-player is great fun, but the uninspired multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired.'

It panned the single-player campaign for not being creative enough to compete with other games such as and noted that the game ran poorly on the 360. IGN scored Quake 4 8.1/10, saying 'Quake 4 is one of those games that will appeal to console gamers who haven't owned a PC for years. The single-player campaign is varied and pretty interesting, getting better after you're Stroggified. The enemies go from dumb and running right at you to diverse and more interesting in the second half of the game, and there are a few cool boss fights worth your while.
The gory graphics and excellent lighting are well done and they'll appeal to many gamers looking for a fast, shiny game to just let loose on.' GameSpot gave it a worse rating than the PC version: 6.6. They also wrote, 'There's a good game in Quake 4, but it's buried under several layers of highly disappointing graphical performance issues.'
