I had Quake 4 and ended up Ebaying it. The single player is pretty cool, but the multiplayer is just as the reviewers say....not updated at all. If you don't expect anything more than what Quake 3 Arena used to be, then you'll be satisfied. The multiplayer looks the same as the old Quake, isn't creative or novel in any way, and frankly doesn't compare to the fun of COD2 (not even close). It's old-gen mulitplayer, not "next-gen." Hope that helps.
