DISAPPOINTED

I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for both ID and the visionary games it produced. I consider Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Doom 3 nothing short of artistic masterpieces. With this said, it brings me great disappointment to give this game 1 star. I never imagined I would give an ID game such a rating.

After 10 minutes of playing Quake 4, it became painfully clear that the option to run is simply not available. You are forced to move at a constant pace the entire course of this game? Christ! The sheer idea that ID, in particular the Quake 4 development team, would COMPLETELY REMOVE the option to the run is inconceivable to me. You must literally walk through this entire 1st person shooter.To add more absurdity to this, there is an additional option to walk slower.

Really? A 1st person war game where the soldier wouldnt have the need to run on occasion? How could the Quake 4 dev team unanimously decide this would be favored by people. Worst still is this game is nearly 6 years old, and yet there has been no update to include this feature. This is the first time I have EVER bought, played and removed a game without playing it to completion. This was paid for and off my machine in less than 15 minutes. How sad is that.

Truly disappointed.
