quake 4 - what are your thoughts on it? since it's utilizing the doom 3 (big negative) engine and takes place mostly in corridors - just like doom 3....i'm very skeptical about it.

quake 1 - Anyon out their still play this old gem? I got the CD but I forgot the damn password to unlock the CD anyone know were I can get that old crack file that would let u in?

Quake 4 Intro - Stars, yeah. Cool, yeah, character kind of looks like Doom 3. WTF? That model is fricked up, something wrong with the lighting on that eye. Ooohhhh. hehe, yeah, cool. Whoa! BTW, I had a bitch of a time getting this running and it still doesn't load every

Quake 4 bug - Just want to see if its just me or does anyone else get it. I was playing at 800x600 medium settings and cranked it up to see how my system would handle it. On High settings when I use the machine gun alt fire to Zoom in - my game freezes. Oddly enough

Just FYI... P4 2.8 at 2.95 1 GB PC 3200 RAM ATI 9700 Pro o/c 347.82/309.71 Playing SP and MP at 1024x768 High Quality No AA nor AF. Don't know how to benchmark it yet, but it runs smooth so far. Go Astros!! Woohoo!!

Wow that is a really good resolution for your system! Are you frame rates fast? Did you ever play Doom3 on your rig and, if so, what did you run that at?

We don't really need yet another graphics hardware benchmark... John Lewis - Technology early-birds are flying guinea-pigs.

It seems Q4 is smoother than D3 for some reason.

Always run was slower than I expected. It's not as slow as D3, but not as fast as Q3. SP run is good paced, IMO. MP run is like Q3, which is fine by me. People who liked Q3 speed will like Q4 MP speed.

That is the bummer in Doom3... it is a walking pace and if I want it faster I have to use the console to type " pm_walkspeed 250 ", or whatever #, but every time it enters a level, no setting it in any cfg file and having stay that way. -- Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/

Thanks for that tip, me and my Radeon 9800 appreciate it. Sadly, it confirms my belief I'll be buying an Xbox 360 to play games like this from now on. I just can't see laying $2,000 for a new PC.

People who liked Q3 speed will like Q4 MP speed. You're run speed gets increased when you 'get your legs'.. Pluvious

ATi are apparently about to release drivers which increase performance in Doom III OpenGL with AA on by 35 percent ! They are in beta at the minute and will be in Catalyst 5.11 in November apparently. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=3668 This will presumably help Q4 as well.

I 'think' it only works with the new range of cards due to the new memory controller which is programmable...
