Raven's low point before the CoD gullags

Without a doubt, one of the most tedious, forgettable shooters I've played in my life. Beyond the Quake name and iconography, the campaign for this is "generic space marine simulator 2005". The weapons are all pea-shooters with underwhelming feedback, the enemies are bullet sponges, the levels are stupid-linear, the vehicle sections are clunky and way too long for their own good. The game looks good, especially with a texture mod or two, but every second of the campaign feels like a waste of time and life you're not getting back. There are many games that were lambasted at the time of release, but they're fun to play many years later. Doom 3 is one of them. Raven's own 2009 Wolfenstein is another. Quake 4 is as generic and tedious today as it was 15 years ago. It wants to be Halo, but lacks the pace and flow of that series. There are much better alternatives out there, even for space marine-enthusiasts.

OK game

The story was alright, but I feel it was hampered by too many characters and none of them being memorable. The story was too similar to Quake 2. Most of the weapons were underpowered or delayed. The game was designed to be very dark, which forced the use of the machine gun for most of the game as it was the only useful weapon with a flashlight. I played the game on General difficulty and damn was that hard. I died a lot, and it took me about 19 hours to complete. You die so fast.

Didn't age well, even at release time

I don't know what these other reviewers are talking about. I played this when it came out. I don't want to exaggerate, so I'll just say that it was, in a word, mediocre. Painfully so. I loved Quake 2 and was utterly disappointed by this. The campaign was over so quickly that it felt like a demo. The gameplay has nothing interesting. The graphics are not as good as Doom 3 (I think it uses the same engine, can't be arsed to look it up).

Not that great.

It's a very boring corridor shooter. The vehicle segments suck. Most areas are just long hallways and there are way too many elevators. Weapons are not very interesting and lack punch. It's from that time period of slow, brown and bloom shooters, that all had generic and predictable plots about muh mehreens, so that's exactly what you get. Just a very uninspired FPS game.
