the heart of the Strogg war machine and engage in a series of heroic

fighting alone, along side other Marines, and in mechanized walkers and
hover tanks as they encounter the Strogg and their disturbing
amalgamations of man and machine. Built on id Software’s revolutionary
DOOM 3 technology, QUAKE 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer
competition modeled after the speed style and feel of QUAKE III Arena.
