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\u2019t done many FPS\u2019s these days, I\u2019m 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\u2019d be playing one of the Jedi Knight series.  Multiplayer might be good fragging fun, but this one\u2019s just not for me.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I purchased Q4 based on a work friend\u2019s undying devotion to the series and promises that her husband would be hosting on their home game server.
