Quake 4. Disappointed.

I purchased Q4 based on a work friend’s undying devotion to the series and promises that her husband would be hosting on their home game server. Nothing like wishing the person in the cube next to you a “good morning” along with a “I told you I hit what I aim at”, I thought. Turns out that they, like myself, were quite turned off by the finished product. I played the original Quake, but none of the followup releases until the current one. Also, I haven’t done many FPS’s these days, I’m more into tactical shooters. All I can say is that Q4 is certainly nothing new, has too many chippy levels in the single player game, and if I wanted to play a Raven-developed game, I’d be playing one of the Jedi Knight series. Multiplayer might be good fragging fun, but this one’s just not for me.

I’ll be exchanging today for Call of Duty 2. Give me a BAR over a nail gun any day, and I hear that COD2 has real smoke effects, including smoke grenades.
