About Me
In a desperate war for Earth's survival against an unrelenting alien enemy, the only way to beat them is to become one of them.
Earth is under seige by the Strogg, a barbaric alien race moving through the universe consuming, recycling, and annihilating any civilization in their path. In a desperate attempt to survive, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet.
You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earth's valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, or in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission to the heart of the Strogg war machine.
Battle through early missions as a deadly marine, then after your capture, as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war.
Built on id Software's revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, Quake 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, feel, and style of QUAKE III Arena.
QUAKE 4 Story:
Immediately following a lone marine's successful mission to bring down the Strogg's defenses and destroy their leader, The Makron (story and events from QUAKE II), the Strogg are quickly regrouping and constructing a new and more powerful Makron.
You are Matthew Kane, a member of the elite Rhino Squad, which is leading the next wave of Earth's invasion.
The invasion force is massive and the Strogg defense is substantial. After an epic battle, and thanks to the work of you and Rhino Squad, the fleet is finally able to secure an LZ for a massive command ship. (Think Sci-Fi D-Day invasion)After regrouping, you are sent again with Rhino Squad on a dangerous mission into the heart of the Strogg base. During a deadly firefight, you are captured by the Strogg and taken to their "Stroggification" facilities.
You wake up strapped to a conveyor that moves you slowly through the process of converting your body into one of the Strogg. A horrific and gruesome procedure, your body is cut and fused with metal, wires, and circutry.
As the transformation is about to be completed with the activation of your brain implant, you are rescued by a squad of fellow marines and returned to the base.
Though you were not yet "connected" to the Strogg collective, the other modifications to your body allow you to manipulate and interface with the Strogg world in ways that no human has been able to before.
Realizing this new advantage, the marines mount a massive offensive to shut down "The Nexus" (the Strogg collective), and you are the key to accessing to these previously impenetrable defenses and locations.
In the end, you are the key to victory as your squad-mates disable the Strogg defense systems, and you bring "The Nexus" offline, and ultimately destroy The Makron.
