Of course, this may have been due mainly to the fact that we weren't actually playing game, and thus didn't get to try everything out. The only time we got to see this in action was during our Xbox 360 demo, and it didn't really look all that different. Mariner 2, /nmc/spacecraft/display.actionid1962-041A.
How, you ask? Well, let's just say that you get "Stroggified." Basically, you gain the ability to jump higher, run faster, and use Strogg weapons. 4, 1962, the spacecraft flew by Venus at a range of 21,660 miles (34,854. About halfway through the game, everything changes. While the Hover Tank is quick moving and featured an unlimited number of shells and machine-gun bullets, the Walker plods along, although it makes up for its slow speed by sporting a battery of powerful rockets. The two are markedly different in several ways, from the speed at which they move to the types of weapons they sport. They'll talk to you, too, as we found out when a medic informed us that he and his buddies could heal us at any time.Īnother big addition to the game is the ability to drive an assortment of vehicles, including a Walker (which is similar to the two-legged robots seen in the MechAssault games) and a Hover Tank. Aiming your reticle at another soldier will tell you his or her name, squad, and rank, a mechanic that comes in handy on a crowded battlefield. In fact, one of the game's earliest objectives is to make your way through the trenches criss-crossing the battlefields, reconnecting with your squadmates as you progress.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the big differences between QUAKE 4 and DOOM 3 is the fact that you won't be fighting alone in the former. From there, everything was a blur, as we jumped up, grabbed a weapon, and started killing Strogg soldiers. As a fellow soldier attempted to get Matthew to his feet, a bullet tore through him, dropping him on the spot. From the looks of the action outside, we had crash landed right in the middle of a firefight (or, as a few of my enlisted friends might say, "in the sh*t"). After a few moments, we (now seeing the world from Matthew's point of view) regained consciousness on the floor of the downed spacecraft.
