Just got my hands on quake 4, it arrived finally today ..., maybe I'm a bit late, but I don't care :-), I played some single player and
played a bit on my own server. I don't know that much of the game yet,
but I just say that that game appeals to me very much :-).
Btw I think some of the maps are quite good out of the box :-),
over the edge is quite fine, bloodstorm, and I also like the first 1v1 map.
Something I also like that it seems to run quite smooth on my lower end system (athlon xp2400+, leadtek geforce 6600, 512 MB Ram, Win2K).
Tonight I'll try it out on the internet,
Let's say that really competetive gaming started with quake 3,
I ended my online playing career cuz quake 3 sucked in my eyes and didn't play anything since then ...
but now I wanna see how good I can get at it, I'm excited :-).
