it doesn't come out in stores until next week (same release date as Civ 4)...
but it has appeared on "the scene" already...
I have played the first level so far single player and my I will give my brief impressions.
This game is basically meant to be an update to Doom3, but with better multiplayer because the multiplayer in Doom3 was terrible. So far, the singleplayer game is about to be expected from a game built off of the Doom3 engine. It is dark, there are aliens and the fighting is much like Doom3. The graphics are good, especially on the max settings on a high end system (like mine
). The main difference is that your fellow soldiers aren't possessed demons or whatever.
The weapons look a little different, but they are pretty much the same. But at least this time they have the flashlight on the machinegun!!!
Still, it would be nice if the flashlight was like Half-Life/Counter-Strike where it's on all the guns and you just turn it on.
But still, at least you aren't just running around in the dark with a flashlight and no gun like Doom3. That was so stupid. I had to download a mod to get flashlights on all the guns for that game.
I haven't played multiplayer yet. Since the game hasn't been released retail yet, I doubt there are servers.
I am going to get a LAN going with my buddies some time later this week. From what I hear, multiplayer is basically what Quake 3 was. Deathmatch... a fragfest...
Not really anything of substance, but fun, nevertheless.
This game is not really groundbreaking or anything, but if you enjoyed Doom3, you will probably like Quake4. And this game will actually have decent multiplayer.
Also, expect this game to be a platform for many mods. From what I hear, the popular Quake 3 mod, "True Combat", is going to be ported to this game.
