Basics

QUAKE 4 starts out as a relatively tame shooter, but by the end of the first half of the game you'll find yourself in a heap

of trouble if you haven't picked up a few strategic skills. Being prepared for the battle ahead is as important as the battle

itself, so read up on these general strategies before taking it to the war zone.

Weapon Variety

There are a lot of weapons in QUAKE 4 and not all of them have the same uses. If you rely too heavily on one

weapon, you could find yourself out of ammo when you need that weapon later. Try to mix up the weapons you use

in combat. For example, try mixing it up between the Machinegun and the Hyperblaster during your typical skirmish.

That way you'll balance the ammo you use, assuring that you don't run out of ammo for a weapon you may need

(you never know when you need to zoom in and pick off a strogg with the Machinegun).

Switching between weapons will also ensure that you're not forced to leave behind valuable ammo. If your weapons

are completely stocked, you'll have to pass up ammo supplies that you won't be able to get back. As long as you

use your weapons evenly, you should have room for new ammo all the time and never run out of ammo for your

favorite guns.

Look for Cover

QUAKE 4 is a fast-pace shooter, but that doesn't mean you should be running around like a chicken with its head

cut off. Stick to tactical play, using surrounding objects as cover from enemy fire. All enemies run through attack

patterns that have holes in them. Learn these patters and jump out to attack just when they've let their guard down.

Using cover is especially important when fighting enemies with instant-hit bullet guns (like Machineguns, Shotguns

and Railguns). You have almost zero chance of dodging these bullets, so your best bet to keeping safe is to stay

behind cover.

Protect Fellow Marines

Unless you're rolling with the Rhino Squad, you'll find that your fellow marines aren't terribly resilient. They'll die to

one close-up encounter with an enemy strogg. Even though they're fragile, they're still highly useful. Try to keep

them around, even if it means sacrificing your own health sometimes.

The marines you most want to protect are the techs and medics. At almost any time (as long as you're not engaged

in a firefight), these guys can patch your armor and refill your health, giving you a better chance of making it through

the missions. Even if you lose a bit of health in an attempt to save a medic, you can always get it right back once the

battle is over.

Walkthrough

Air Defense Bunker

As the level begins, regain your composure and start walking to the right. Nearby is a medic you can talk to for a bit of

healingÏstick around and he'll refill your health completely. Continue past the medic and find the walking platform that

leads into the nearby building. Switch on your flashlight and follow your fellow combatant into the thick of the fun.

After passing through a couple of doors, you'll turn left into an open room where things are going down. Watch for the

strogg that jumps out from the right as well as the pair of enemies at the far end of the hall. You can use the nearby

boxes (to the left) for cover, but be careful. The explosive barrels stacked near the boxes can explode and severely

damage you.

When the enemies at the far end of the room are defeated, cross the room and watch for more enemies to your right.

The path will lead past a few marines camped out behind cover. Take the lead, following the linear path left and into a

new room.

As you enter the room, you'll see a marine being dragged by a strogg into the next room. Make your way around the

walkway and follow the two into the next room to find the Machinegun. A strogg will jump out nearby, followed by two

more at the far end of the room (to the left). Clear the area, then continue into the next room to meet up with another

marine.

Move into the next room and you'll find a long, dark hall. As you proceed, an enemy will bust through the wall to the left

but won't be able to hurt you. Ready your aim at the far end of the hall and wait for the strogg to come running around

the corner. Take him out, then follow the hall to a small marine stronghold.

You can stock up on ammo and health in this room as you're given your next mission objective. You need to backtrack

through the building to find a medic and return with him to the stronghold.

Return to the previous dark hall and take out the pack of strogg at the far end. Use the surrounding walls for cover and

clear a path to the next room. Just ahead, you'll witness a marine get gutted by an enemy before the enemy quickly

rushes in your direction. Waste no time in splattering the strogg, then continue straight forward into the next area.

You'll soon find a room with a pair of strogg being destroyed by the medic, Anderson. Help Anderson clear the room and

gather any bullets you find nearby. If you're wounded, you can interact with the medic to have him heal you. Once ready,

start returning to the marine stronghold with the medic in tow.

Once through the first door, a strogg will bust up through the floor panels and attack. Kill it, then drop through the hole

made by the enemy to find an underground tunnel system. Down here you'll find some ammo and a suit of armor. Stock

up, then interact with the nearby panel and climb the ladder back to the surface.

Resume your trek back towards the other marines, watching out for a spike-armed strogg that drops in front of you.

You'll find even more enemies in the dark hall just outside of the stronghold. Make use of the medic's healing (and take

cover behind walls) and you should get through the skirmish just fine.

Return to the other marines and the medic will patch up the wounded soldier. Continue through the next doorway to

meet another member of the Rhino Squad before following the path to the level's end.

Air Defense Trenches

There's not much to worry about in the first part of this level. Just move to the nearby elevator platform and move up to a

room with just one strogg inside. Slay the beast, then continue through more doors until you reach the first outdoor area.

To the right, you'll see a lower area you can drop to with armor shards. Stock up, then walk up the pipes and continue

into the next area.

You'll soon exit out to the trenches of the Air Defense center. Move through the trenches and you'll soon enter a clearing

that's swarming with strogg. Keep your distance and use the zoom on your Machinegun to pick off the strogg from

behind cover. Listen for the moans of strogg for warning of their spawning, and continue moving through the trenches

when the coast is clear.

A brief underground tunnel takes you to the other side of the trenches. Let Bidwell talk for a bit, then continue past him,

turning left through the trenches. Just around the next corner, an aggressive strogg rushes towards you as a pack at the

far end of the trench fire from behind. Focus first on the aggressor, then take cover and systematically pick off the others

from afar. Instead of going to where the pack of strogg were, turn left down another trench path.

Move around the next pair of corners and you'll get the jump on two strogg. Quickly lay waste to them, then continue

through the trenches to complete the level.

Hangar Perimeter

The action picks back up almost immediately as you enter the new level. Just ahead is a pack of strogg holed up in tight

quarters. Take cover behind the doorway and peek out with your Machinegun to pick 'em off. Move into the room to take

out the stragglers at the far end, then move through the hall and into the next room to meet up with the Viper Squad.

One member of the squad will hook you up with a Shotgun before you can grab the items nearby. If you're hurt, be sure

to talk with the medic who'll patch you up. There's also a tech who can patch your armor completely.

Take the lead, heading through the doorway to an outdoor area. Watch for strogg to the left and to the right and take

cover behind the surrounding crates as you and your teammates pick 'em off. Follow the squad into the next room and

take cover with them just before the strogg bust in through the doorway on the other side of the room. Your teammates

can help you, but they can also die if you're too cautious. Be sure to protect your medic and tech so that you can

continue to get healed as necessary.

Go through the doorway at the far end of the room and watch for the strogg that rushes up the stairway ahead. Take him

down with your Shotgun and protect your comrades, shooting down the strogg that are attacking from the lower level.

Move downstairs and into the next room. The squad will take position at the end of the hallway, letting you take the lead.

As you move down the hall, an aggressive strogg comes out from around the corner. Quickly blast it dead, then watch

for more enemies to come through the door at the far end of the hall.
