![]() I will also be taking a look at the False Dawn mod. I believe many of these aspects can be fixed or adjusted by messing with the configuration files but the Tweaker makes it easier. To get this running properly, I used the Quake 4 Tweaker which allows you change the FPS limit, filed of view, despawn time of corpses, force custom resolutions, and it fixes texture issues on modern hardware. Developed by Raven Software and published by Activision, Quake 4 was released for PC in October, 2005, which is the version I played for this review, and Xbox 360 in November of that same year. Quake II included a brand new storyline that would be continued in Quake 4 and Quake III Arena is strictly a multiplayer-focused title as is Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Quake Live which is an updated version of Quake III, and the most recent title, Quake Champions. It was inspired by dark fantasy influences and has a very unique atmosphere and aesthetic that really hasn’t been matched in any games since in my opinion. The first Quake is the outcast only because its vastly different than its successors. There are only three games in the series to date with full blown single player and that’s the original Quake, Quake II, and Quake 4. You have to miss it, so the projectile of the dark matter gun can continue dealing area damage even when it passes the Nexus.At this point, I would say Quake is primarily a multiplayer franchise. The Dark Matter Gun has a large area it damages, so you have to shoot left or right of the nexus. When you fight the Nexus, the fastest way to bring it down is to equip the dark matter gun and not to shot on the nexus directly. The destruction of the Nexus triggers a cutscene that shows Kane leaving the Nexus and returning to the Hannibal. To avoid fire from Strogg units on the first floor, never remain on the energy bridges on the second floor. ![]() Even though the Nexus has no weapons of its own, it will keep spawning Strogg units into the room, so shooting them is pointless. After a while, two Repair Bots will enter the room and fix the damaged shield generator, causing it to resume function, but it is possible to keep damaging it while the shields are regenerating. When damaging the brain, use your Rocket Launcher, Lightning Gun or the Dark Matter Gun. The best weapon to take down the shields is a salvo from your Rocket Launcher. Now, you have to deplete the Nexus' shields before you can damage the brain itself, and to do this you must shoot the top of the machine, above the 'brain'. Here, you can use two Stroyent Health Stations if you're low on health. In addition to this, teleporters will appear in every corner of the room. Note: Save some ammunition for Dark Matter Gun if you can, it will make the final battle easier by this stage of the game, you should have plenty.Īfter you have killed the Makron, the pit will open up again and reveal the Nexus' organic brain. If you run out of ammunition for your Dark Matter Gun, use your Rocket Launcher or the Nailgun (as a last resort). You can destroy the torso unit by shooting at it, keeping the Makron from restoring his health. Get this part done ASAP, since he may fly to one of the columns and grab a torso power unit to regain energy. ![]() After you have drained his energy for the first time, the four pillars recharge him and his upper body detaches from the legs and you will have to defeat his second form. Use Machine Gun or Shotgun against them to save ammo for stronger weapons for the Makron. Engage them only if they're really annoying you and concentrate on the Makron. Sometimes, he will spawn all kinds of enemy units. Immediately open fire and move around the room to avoid the Makron's attacks. Suddenly, the Makron climbs out of it and the door you just passed through locks itself. You will notice a large pit in the middle of the room, surrounded by four pillars. Reload everything, gather as much ammo as you can, switch to your Dark Matter Gun and enter the next door. You will start on a long corridor loaded with ammunition for all of your weapons. This level is one of the simplest Quake 4 levels regarding the objectives: enter the Chamber, kill the Makron, wait for the Nexus to emerge and empty your Dark Matter Gun on it. After Kane has successfully slain the Strogg leader, he takes on the Nexus itself, eventually destroying the large organic brain. However, the current Makron has been watching Kane's advance and now enters the room to defeat Kane once and for all. In this level, Kane enters the very room that houses the Nexus, a device that links all Strogg to the Makron and enables them coordinate all of their troops most effectively. Operation: Last Hope, resulting in the destruction of both the Nexus and the Makron, depriving the Strogg of their leader and their communication network. The Nexus is the 31st and last level of Quake 4 singleplayer.
