Those marines aren't shitty or anything, but the more realistic things get, the less style IMO.

Johann Srauss was also the name of a very prominent dance music composer in the 19th century.

Totally agreed, man. Visually, this game is so not Quake. Very little style is seen in the humans so far. :/

"What's Rob Van Dam doing there?"

Dunno, maybe he's gonna frog splash the stroggs, or hit them over the head with a folding chair.

Considering its multiplayer is slated to be Quake III gameplay with better graphics, I look forward to it, even though the campaign is really, really lacking style (remember the shots of some of the weapons?)

Even the camo on their legs and arms are exactly the sam, Just look at the spots. Their knee guard have no scratches, and they're all waring the same make, with no modifications or customizations for the most part. It looks like they all just got taken out of the plastic wrapper.
The tech and the medic have differentiating uniforms.... Also, these guys may be "dirtied up" more in-game....

I wouldn't call painting the chest plate white a diffrent uniform.

I dounderstand why it was done, one player model to load, means less to store in video memory

realism is fucking gay

There needs to be a proper blend of realism and arcade style fun.

Physics are more of a game than the games themselves. I had more fun in Quake II and III messing around with the physics than fragging people.

Current games are the same way. I remember the Battlefield 1942 demo and how a new funny thing would be discovered every day. That spirit lives on in games like Battlefield 2, Joint Operations (Hackiest game EVER. EVER. Someone coded a hack that let them fly a fucking APC around like a jet.) and of course Halo.

I have more fun trying to see if I can wingsurf a jet than flying the jet around and shooting bad guys.

I can't wait to challenge you only to see you reply with more useless bullshit cause you're a record breaking moron who can't figure out he's the laughstock of the entire board.

But hey, I'll still be laughing.

Last time I checked any military unit looks exactly the same.

W3rd. There's no need for any more differentiation than a different color breast-plate.....

Hes a medic, thats why

I dont doubt they look cool, hell, I'm even impressed with the level of detail they got in the amor, it looks lush. But its just so not Quake 2 in terms of style and design

Oh well, out with the old, as they say...

I think I remember reading somewhere that id wants q4 to be like team arena or something...that could be a fatal mistake.

Read it wrong sir...

Quake 4 single player will be everything Doom 3 wasn't , i.e., good.

Quake 4 multiplayer will be everything Quake 3 WAS, i.e. a decent MP game. The physics math is exactly the same, the movement, the jumps, the rocket jumps, the plasma (which is now nail) jumps, the jump pads are back, there will be slime, lava etc, no locational damage (Its all bounding box in MP, not per poly like SP), better netcode, more tweaks for FPS etc... Plus the game modes that will be added will be taken from both Q3 and TA, so you will ahve CTF, but als ohave a few TA style modes.

Oh, and a few remade maps from past id engine games will be in there. Lets hope for DM6 (i'm sure DM6 will be there).

So dont worry Duhard, i'm sure you will love it.
