Taking place after the events in the second installment, Quake 4 picks up in the full-on fray of battle against the Strogg. You, Mathew Kane are a member of Rhino squad, an elite group of marines distpatched to the Strogg homeworld in order take the fight to "them". But that certainly won't be an easy undertaking; tons of Strogg footsoldiers are everywhere as are all sorts of other Strogg beasties, all there to shut you down.

But, through an otherwise undesirable series of events you are captured and subjected to torture and the eventual transformation into a Strogg. Lucky for you (cool scene) you are spared the full transformation and are now one ugly, mean son-of-a-gun looking Strogg/human hybrid: Stroggification if you will. It's a painfull and grotesque process that isn't fit for a rabid dog and you sadly go through 90% of it. You're as tough as they are, but in you still beats the heart of a human, and a heroic one at that.

Lock and load soldier! With your new body, you find that the total annihilation of the Strogg homeworld is not nearly enough pain to return to your enemies. And since you are on their home turf, the Strogg are quick to use your fallen comrades against you as their forces deplete.





Of course nothing worth doing right is ever easy. And you will find your attack to be anything but a walk in the park. Fortunately, you can count on driving powerful vehicles and running along side a cadre of Marines who are more than happy to help you out with their sophisticated A.I. (good programming) and combat training. The Marines will lay cover fire, toss grenades, cover you and form battle lines of offense. This is a military offensive for the ages and if you don't get the job done, there will be hell to pay, literally.
