I have to admit that after getting some tweaks from Upsedchaps
Q4 is playable.

While I still hate these graphics (like doom2) I have to admit that 
movement in the game is better than in Q3A!

I have an impression that I have a config in Q3A which works well for 
me, but I think spending some time in Q4 on config and get use to it, 
and some new maps, especially custom ones and Q4 could be a winner for a 
multiplayer.

I've notice much smoother movement than in Q3A and more responsive as well.

But sounds... OMG. ID didn't realized that we have some serious speakers 
and sound is the atmosphere of the game?

These shots sounds like Commander Kane, like scratching the bum, not 
shooting.

Worst sounds in any ID games. Nothing sounds like QW shotgun or rocket.

After two days:

Plus - movement in MPlayer. Great stuff.needs right config to use it 
properly, right fov and right mouse adjustment.

Minus - graphics and sounds.

These are bad!

But who use top graphics in mp mode anyway!?

:)

My suggestion to ID.

Get some simple graphics for MP, not dark ones and make some great 
levels where people can have a serious fun.

And for God sake change these sounds!!!

They are horrible, mosquito like shooting MG, gimmie a break!

Just update us with Release Point 24 and Quake will be still number one 
game. CD in CD player is crap as well!

And do it fast before players will lose the interest.

Why you didn't tested the game as you did Q3A???

We would tell you what is crap and what is great!

;)

BTW. Keep cheaters on leash!!!!

So far, so good... so far!!!
