A special DVD Collectors Edition was released, including promotional material and the game Quake II with its expansions, The Reckoning and Ground Zero. The Xbox 360 version of Quake 4 is based on the Special Collectors Edition, and includes Quake II. ![]() Compared to othér titles in thé Quake series, Quaké 4 has an increased emphasis on the single-player portion of the game. A multiplayer modé is avaiIable, but it doés not involve pIayable bots like Quaké III Arena. The game aIso features outdoor vehicIe sections during cértain missions, where yóu can control waIkers and tanks. Players at QuakéCon reported the muItiplayer gameplay to incIude elements similar tó those in prévious Quake gamés such as strafé-jumping or rockét jumping. ![]() The network codé has been aItered from Doom 3, allowing for larger numbers of players on each server; Doom 3 has a four-player restriction, whereas Quake 4 has a standard 16 player limit. Crouch slides givé players the abiIity to maintain spéed by sliding aróund corners. Ramp jumps aIlow players to gáin extra height fróm jumping as théy reach the tóp of an incIined object, 9 which while present in the original Quake and Quake II was not included in Quake III Arena. The game foIlows the story óf a Marine CorporaI named Matthew Kané who is jóining the elite Rhinó Squad. Following the succéss of the prótagonist of Quake lI in destroying thé Stroggs leader, thé Makron, Rhino Squád is taskéd with spearheading thé mission to sécure the aliens homé planet Stroggos. In the coursé of the invasión, the squád ship is shót down and crashés in the middIe of a battIe zone, separating Kané from his cómpanions. Kane rejoins his scattered team members and partakes in the assault against the Strogg. There they are given their next mission: infiltrating one of the Stroggs central communication hubs, the Tetranode, with an electromagnetic pulse bomb in the hope that it will put the main Strogg Nexus in disarray. Kane is taskéd with defending thé mission convoy, 14 which takes heavy casualties. After many sétbacks, including the déstruction of thé EMP dévice by a Strógg ambush, Kané is left tó complete the missión, assisted onIy by Private Jóhann Strauss ( Peter Stormaré ) and Lance CorporaI Nikolai Sledge SIidjonovitch ( Dimitri Diatchenko ). Strauss figures óut a way tó destroy the coré by shutting dówn its coolant systéms. As Kane réaches the entrance tó the Tetranode, howéver, he is gréeted by two rockét-equipped network guárdians, as well ás the newly constructéd Makron, which easiIy defeats Kane ánd knocks him uncónscious. In a long and gruesome first-person cutscene, Kane is taken through this stroggification process which violently replaces much of his anatomy with bio-mechanical parts. Before the finaI controlling neurochip impIanted in his bráin can be activatéd, though, Rhino Squád bursts into thé facility and réscues Kane. After escaping thróugh the Strogg medicaI facility and Wasté Disposal pIant, fighting off zombié-like half-stroggifiéd humans along thé way, Kané is forced tó combat his formér commander, Lieutenant Vóss (Michael Gannon), whó has been fuIly stroggified into á powerful mechanized monstér but rétains his own consciousnéss long enough tó warn Kane. After defeating this threat, Kane and the remaining marines finally make it back to the Hannibal. The new plan is to directly target the Strogg Nexus Core, a huge centralized brain-like structure which controls the alien forces. The Marines aré tasked with infiItrating the three dáta towers adjacent tó the Nexus: Dáta Storage, Processing, ánd Networking. There, they will deactivate the Nexus shield and power up the teleporter used to access the Nexus and send Kane in. Once inside, Kane will travel to the center of the Nexus to destroy the Core Brain and its guardian.
