  • At the game's beginning, you'll notice that in Stroggos' bases are plenty of similar devices to the ones, showed on the screenshot above. This are medical positions, which operates identically how the ones from Doom 3 or the Half-Life series. The player can use them after turning into Strogg (after Strogg Medical Facilities level). Every station has the specific number of health points and you can't use it ad infinitum. The 'depleted' message will inform you about station's useless.
  • You'll find medics and engineers, among other allied soldiers in Quake 4. The medics will recover your health points and the engineers will take care of armor. If you need help, click on the specialist (if the surroundings are cleared from enemies of course). If these gentlemen aren't important for the game's task, the opponent can kill them. During the play on higher difficulty levels, protect the medics and engineers as long as you can.
  • Look into the chest, carefully explore every room. Health and ammunition are often hided in hard to reach places or in the shadow (use Flashlight).
  • The game is linear. There aren’t any optional patches to finish given level. Despite that, look for green light on the door. Behind them you'll most often find useful items that will help you in game (health, armor, ammunition).

In a desperate war for Earth's survival against an unrelenting alien enemy, the only way to defeat them is to become one of them.

Earth is under siege by the Strogg, a barbaric alien race moving through the universe consuming, recycling and annihilating any civilization in their path. In a desperate attempt to survive, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet.
You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earth's valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, or in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission to the heart of the Strogg war machine.
Battle through early missions as a deadly marine, then after your capture, as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war.
Built on id Software's revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, QUAKE 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, feel, and style of QUAKE III Arena.(info about game from official page)

i just popped on this site to see how far i had yo got to complete looks like im only 2 levels from the end. This is the first time ive played quake and it not bad to be honest. But you guys saying youve completed it in 2 hours on the hardest level are just talkin shit. Ive been playing for about 6 hours and died twice. Theres now way you can walk through the game in 2 hours never mind actually killing anything.
lol at you lot

clarky, your full of shit. never played quake before. played on hardest level & completed in 2hrs with 1 death. Lies. superior intel - obviously a dickhead with no brain. Flak - when you see something that says "Enter" just Left click - sorted. Tough game, think I have played some of it in a demo before as the strogg medical bit was familiar.

Can you run in Quake 4? I know in previous Quakes you could set the conrols to 'always run' I can't seem to go any faster than tactically walking.
