Well some virus scanners come up with a virus

And the .exe has code in it to phone home without authorization.

I think its a no brainer why it might be recognized as a virus.

Well, i think this game is pretty fun...however, the scope on the assault rifle is fucked...like i click the zoom button and it feezes for 10 seconds or so, then loads the scope but i cant move it around and its like it eats all of my system resources...i press esc and wait a next 10 seconds and it goes back to normal view and the game plays completely fine, on maxed settings, no frame rate loss or anything...

any suggestions?

without the command framerate lock and using refresh force now i can run vsync on or off in doom3 and quake 4 without jerk jerk jerk gameplay what i did was refresh force, go into reg settings.. export registry load refresh force then unapply settings then load registry file again.
This means the monitor isnt forced by an app, the games thinks thats all my monitor can support, quake 4 is totaly smooth now...

Unimaginative, over-hyped crap. It's like Doom 3 with more baddies to shoot but lacking the atmosphere which was, to my mind, then ONLY thing that made Doom 3 anywhere near playable. Other than that it was just a case of: walk into room, monster spawn, kill monster, monster spawn behind you, kill monster, walk into next room. Over and over again until I was bored shitless by the end of the game. This seems pretty much the same but with more straight forward ass kicking as an attempt to make up for the lack of atmosphere.

The problem is that niether Doom 3 or Quake 4 have any appeal once you get past the initial wow factor of the graphics. Having said that, if you strip away all the shadowing and lighting and actually look at the levels, what you're left with is a pretty ugly and undetailed game. Shit, the shadows aren't even that good and they were a major selling point of the engine in the first place! I remember John Carmack saying when he previewed the Doom 3 engine that every surface would cast its own DYNAMIC shadows. So why then, when I shine my torch at the corner of a wall, don't I see it causing realistic MOVING shadows on the wall behind as I move the torch around? The shadows that do actually move seem to be cast by either scripted pieces of machinery or the in-game characters.

It wouldn't be so bad if the game wasn't so fucking dark all the time. Fair enough, in Doom 3 it was just about acceptable (although a lot of people complained at the time) as it was a part of the atmosphere, but there isn't really any place for it in a Quake game in my view, and after an hour or so it gets really annoying. I remember playing Quake 2 and it was brightly lit and (for it's day) graphically pleasing. This seems to be using the darkness simply to hide shitty texturing.

When will ID (or Raven for that matter) realise that graphics and sound alone don't make a game fun to play? It's the combination of these things coupled with the most important factor that seems to have been forgotten in their trying to impress: GAMEPLAY. Both Doom 3 and Quake 4 have a severe lack of it. If you're looking for something that's fun to play, graphically pleasing and has decent gameplay, I'd stick to playing F.E.A.R.

One final point I'll make before I shut up is that there still doesn't seem to be any attempt an innovation going on here. It's still the same formula as the original games, just with a new graphics engine. Small tip for games designers: it's 10 years later guys, and things have moved on! Take a look at UT2004 (for a multiplayer comparision) and F.E.A.R. (for a single player comparison) and you'll see what I mean. These games are packed with features other than the standard run, shoot, heal shit you get with Quake and Doom these days.

Rant over.

Anyone else care to post a proper review or shall we just go back to bitching about the protection?
