Product Description

The Strogg are cybernetic warriors--a mechanical frame and decaying body parts stabilized by flesh consumed in a systematic annihilation of other species and civilizations. In a desperate attempt to survive a Strogg attack on Earth, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet. Earth's initial assault force is nearly annihilated immediately, but one marine manages to infiltrate the base, bring down their planetary defense systems, and kill the Strogg's collective brain and leader--the Makron. Earth assumed the destruction of the Makron would end it all, but it didn't.

The Strogg are quickly regrouping. However, with the Strogg's planetary defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final assault. This time, you're not alone. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth's next invasion wave. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal in this heroic and epic battle between worlds.

As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the EDF (Earth Defense Force - humans) or the barbaric alien Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons and combat hardware. Troops utilize over 40 conventional and futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy.

Rating: 5 StarsA must Buy game for Any FPS Fan

When i first bought this game i though i would be playing a doom clone with a quake story. I was wrong this game is great the story draws you in and the graphics and sound make and atmosphere that sucks you in and makes you believe you really are a marine invading the Strogg homeworld fighting for humanity. This game is a must buy for any FPS fan and if I can not wait to see what that got in store for Quake Wars:enemy Territory.

Rating: 4 Starsa doom type game, good playability

story, graphics and movement are all good. Enemies are a bit odd but pretty good considering the storyline. a fps with decent weapons. Has a good replay value. Blowing away the makron is best part.

Rating: 5 StarsGreat FPS game

This game is on pare with F.E.A.R. . It gets very hard, even on easy. One person against the game is fun.

Rating: 1 Starswouldn't install

I bought this game back in 05 and it wouldn't install. During disk 2 it could never access a file called something like pak003.pk4, and there was no way around it. Internet searches turned up plenty of people with the same problem, but no solution.

I'm reminded because I just found the game on my shelf and tried to install it again. Total waste of money.

Rating: 1 StarsWon't even install

I have a Dell Inspiron with lots of resources, using Windows XP SP2. I have NEVER had an application fail to complete installation before. But Quake 4 did. In the middle of the fourth (!) disk, it just went to sleep. I just went to Activision's support web site, which is kind of a joke. Forget this buggy piece of junk.
