    Yay! Thanks MetalG, grabbed it! I always enjoyed the flavor and
    experience that Raven games delivered, Q4 is no exception! I have multiple copies of Q4 already, and gave this key away already

    Already have it installed via Steam. Maybe I should try it again now
    that you posted about it! :-)

    I played its demo back in its day. It was OK.

    I wasn't as sanguine towards "Quake 4". It wasn't a bad game, but I
    felt it was one of the weakest in the franchise. Visually it was a
    treat and I loved returning to the world of Stroggos, but
    mechanically, it played too much like "Call of Duty", with overly
    scripted events and linear levels... right down to the on-rails bits
    where you man a gun-turret. The much hyped 'stroggification' sequence
    was also pretty laughable due to the limitations of the technology; it
    was hard for me to take it seriously when I kept getting distracted by
    my avatar's tiny, blocky feet ;-)

    Still, I wouldn't mind a sequel. The Stroggos-saga may not rank high
    in originality, but it was a fun (if extremely sophomoric)
    power-fantasy that I'd be happy to return to.

    Coincidentally, I just reinstalled Q4 today (with the sikkmod fro
    prettier graphics).

    I did so because I so very much enjoyed the Quake 2 remaster which I
    completed today. I still have the two remastered official mission
    packs to play and the 'Call of the machine' spin-off to get through as
    well.

    I thoroughly enjoyed playing through Quake 2 again and am quite hyped
    to play through Q4 again.

    Happy days!

    I'm going to do this too, thanks!

    This is my plan as well!!
