I think it was to be released yesterday. Worth it? Yes? No? Opinions. You know what I'm talking about.

At the beginning it looks like Doom3 all over again but with gunners spawning everywhere instead of imps. It picks up as the game goes on.

Also the game's sound engine accomodates something called "OpenAl". I'm still trying to get a handle on exactly what "OpenAl" is.

Definitely worth it, loved Q2, loving Q4 :) Slightly frustrated at the part where you have to protect the guy disarming the mines, but I think it's just that my aim sucks monkey balls and I need to tweak the game for speed a bit ;) Played a couple of DM games, got my ass handed to me and loved every minute of it.

I've played it. I would say the single player is better than I expected. I
think it's much more fun than Doom 3.
I don't know about the muliplayer yet. I played a little CTF online but I
wasn't getting many frames so it's kinda hard to tell. I got one cap and one
assist but also did a lot of team killing hehe
It sux that there are no bots. I sure hope somebody comes up with some.

I'm also having a problem that I had with Doom in that it kept causing GPFs, getting kicked to my desktop. I fixed it in Doom by installing a good heatsink as Doom was heating up my Athalon 2800+. Now Q4 is causing the same things with a difference, my cpu is not running as hot as it was at all. It's getting up around 130-140. Doom was causing it to get up around 170. This time around it does not seem related to cpu overheating. Once I figure this out, I'll be happy.
