And I seriously think, what a waste of money.

My first impression, ID lost it totally.

Played one level on single player and three levels on line.

Dm17!!! What a crap!!!! No comparison to original.

If that is progress, than I thank you for this kind of progress.

RL is some flame spitter, shot gun sounds and acts like crap. MG almost 
useless.

Movement is weird. After while is slightly better, but played previously 
every Doom and every Quake, that one is worse ever.

Dark, clumsy, hight contrast which can't be adjusted in multiplayer mode.

When I went back to Q3A on line, what a relieve!

Speed, movement, dynamics, graphics, all of it is just so much better 
than in Q4.

Q4 looks like old Doom on 486-DX4-100 and game play seems to be similar.

No adrenaline rush, no excitement.

HL2 or CS is much better visually IMHO but because a lack of fell I 
still prefer Q3A. The same with UT. Q3A rules.

Actually Quake World had the best fell IMHO.

I'll try Q4 few times but... I can't see any chances that I will like it!

I'm spoiled with Q3A and other great games by ID.

I was unable play Doom3 because of dark levels and a need of constant 
use of of flash.

I've finished on first level, while I still enjoy playing Unreal 
original, Quake 2 as well.

Nah!!!

ID days of glory are over!!!

Q4 is crap - ID has lost it totally.

Meet couple guys on Q3A and they totally agree with me. Q4 sux.

Even old map on multiplayer from Q2 sux.

I have expected nicer graphics, smoother movement than Q3A.
