the multiplayer is awesome the movement makes it a lot more fast paced than something like q3, and the ctf is pretty epic because of this

I'd like to see a Coop mod for Q4, or a TF style mod that uses Strogg vs Humans.  There's a lot of potential for mods people just didn't bother.

far as im concerned all it needs is tdm 1v1 and ctf and q4max does that beautifully... but there is a mod in dev that is supposedly REALLY awesome, ive talked to some of the dev team and it sounds pretty epic, its called GTR and it puts in a WHOLE bunch of different customizable options, instagib with fast gameplay, cpm type movement, a whole bunch of really awesome stuff thats all votable or config options so you can play exactly how you want to play... only problem is they lost their lead programmer end of last month so dev has been haulted :/

starting a community by bringing you into it is a sure way to fail.  i'm all for it, minus you being there.

kiss my ass  im a perfectly fine person until something pisses me off

but if that's all you need why bother playing Q2 is superior on all those areas.    Q4 didn't bring anything new to the series & I blame id for that one.  They could of AT LEAST done TF, those guys @ raven don't suck, they know how to make good stuff.

Q4max is like one of those things that take the flavor out of your chocolate ice cream so more people can enjoy frozen flavorless milk balls.

q2 ctf sucks just the way i see it... anyone except q2 players just thinks hook is gay

q2 tdm is awesome, but that doesnt mean that othre quakes dont make it awesome as welll

and q2 1v1 is unique, just like every quake in the series, the 1v1 of quake4 is epic as well, just in a different way like comparing qw and q2, everyone can agree that they are both very amazing games, but they are amazing in different ways

the q4 movement is really smooth and kinda fun, it makes the gameplay different, along with weapons and balance of everything, its just a different game...

im not saying q2 is terrible q2 is great, im just saying q4 is great too and people should respect that

I liked the SP... Though, I only played a little bit online, IMO freeze tag and CTF were the best.

You guys ever played Nexius?  It's a game made with the q3 engine, very cool playstyle, think quake 2 meets unreal.

I agree, I never liked Nexuiz's weapons either. Alot of them are just spammers and I mean like a constant stream of rockets coming out. Plus I hated the physics of Nexuiz, it felt like I was on the moon. But hey, some people like Nexuiz I guess.

As far as my thoughts on Quake IV, its not that bad. I haven't played it in a few years though, but it was decent. It just needed the good patches it got later on much earlier. I still prefer Quake 2, but if anyone wants someone to play a game of Quake 4 with, I'll play. You can find me on the tastyspleen irc channels.

Vae, you should quit Q2 and go play Q4.  That would be a win-win for everyone

I really liked quake 4's single player. It played like a really good expansion to doom 3. It also had a ton of nostalgia for us q2 players pumped into it. Having to play as a marine that can't run until you are stroggified was kind of lame, and weapon upgrades is a crappy gimmick to stop you from getting stronger weapons earlier. I think that those things are minor though.

The multiplayer was a huge fail. Raven had 10 years of nostalgic quake glory to influence their multiplayer, and they made a shitty quake 3 clone. Seriously? I know Raven focuses mainly on SP, but with all of the potential possibilities for the multiplayer, you had to actually TRY to screw that up.

Hehe, well.. The day the game came out, I went to Best Buy in the morning, managed to pick up the last copy before they were sold out. On the way home I thought to myself "Man, there's no way they can screw this up, its Quake.". I was not buying the game for its single-player which turned out to be the best part of the game. I bought the game to experience Quake in a whole new way, I thought that it could had been revolutionary. Unfortunately you are right, it is a Quake 3 clone. Actually, its more like Quake 3 meets Doom 3, so it is a little different from the other Quake games. It just seemed to me they put way more work into the single player than the multi player, and thats not why most people buy Quake. After the game came out it seemed they realized this and tried to patch the game to death to makeup for their mistake, and they did make it better, but it was too little too late as far as the community was concerned.

Long story short, they crapped the bed, realized it and tried to cover it up in lysol. People wanted Quake 4 not Duake 3 Arena: Resurrection of the Strogg.

Is the Quake 4 terrible? No, singleplayer is pretty good, multiplayer was terrible at first, got better with patches, but by the time they got it decent the community went elsewhere.

You're ignoring Heretic!

I can see how that statement was misleading. Raven should have been influenced by id's 10 years of nostalgic quake glory.

[naymlis]

he's trying to say id was in charge of multiplayer part of quake4, not raven..

also vae im up for a q4 duel anytime in on my pc.. hit me up
