Q4 Final Boss?

I just fought a couple of silver spiders, and now I've got to deal with a 
guy with a deep voice and a Krusty the Clown laugh. Is this the final Boss, 
or is there more after that? Any tips on how to defeat him? The spiders 
took a lot to kill, leaving not a whole lot to deal with Big Ugly. Or is 
this a waiting game?

Last boss?  Heck, no, the game is just about to start after this guy!

No.  You're about a third of the way through.

There's a *lot* more after that, trust me :)

Thanks, guys, I feel much better now. I was set to be pissed if the game 
was this short! ;) (I'd forgotten about the ads that said I'd be borged and 
get to drive a walker. I certainly hadn't done any of that yet!)

I ended up hiding in a corner and chucking most of my grenades at him, 
bouncing them off the blue pipes into the middle of the room. Then there 
was a big flash and....

The next video is probably the most grisly and stomach-turning thing I've 
seen in a video game. Id has outdone themselves. It makes me chuckle to see 
that bloodless Battlefield 2 has the same rating.

And the most ingenious thing is - it's not a cutscene ;) You can still turn
your view somewhat, gives you a little more of the feeling of 'shit, this is
happening to *me*!'
