The
Official Quake IV site has now gone live offering new videos, the official game trailer, wallpapers, screenshots, background information and news.
"Earth is under siege by an alien race. The Strogg are cybernetic
warriors-a mechanical frame and decaying body parts stabilized by flesh
consumed in a systematic annihilation of other species and
civilizations. In a desperate attempt to survive a Strogg attack on
Earth, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle
to the Strogg home planet. Earth's initial assault force is nearly
annihilated immediately, but one marine manages to infiltrate the base,
bring down their planetary defense systems, and kill the Strogg's
collective brain and leader-the Makron. Earth assumed the destruction
of the Makron would end it all, but it didn't.
That's where QUAKE II leaves off and QUAKE 4 begins.
The Strogg are quickly regrouping. However, with the Strogg's planetary
defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final
assault. This time, you're not alone. You are Matthew Kane, an elite
member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth's next invasion wave. An army
of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and
vehicles are at your disposal in this heroic and epic battle between
worlds."
