Quake 4 mods on Desura news

Seven mods for Quake 4 on the service now. Almost all of them are modifications that change only Q4 base gameplay and/or improve graphics, the only exception being Quake 4: HardQore.

Q4Run

Q4Run is a modification for Quake4. Primarily it's based on trickjumping and combining tricks. The first idea behind this mod was to implement timers which makes it possible to finish a specific "run" map in a certain time and then improve it afterwards. Every run will be documented in a demo named after name of player and map and time. If you want you can share those demos with other players so they can watch your skill or can help you to improve it. Comparing to others' times you can try to beat them or be proud of yourself because of better records.

LDAQ4

This is a mere texture mod that changes much of Quake IV's green marine theme (characters, weapons, items) to blue. It's an extension of mod author's earlier "Dark-Bloody Strogg Kane" texture mod and as such includes all of that earlier "mod" content.

Quake 4: Evolved

This mod is a complete graphics overhaul for Quake 4's aging engine, featuring bloom, paralax mapping, specular mapping, self shadows, enhanced shaders and reflections, enhanced detail terrain and bumpmaps.

Sikkmod

Sikkmod is a visual enhancement mod for Quake 4 designed to update the game to a more modern level.

GameType Revolution

GTR is a versatile Quake 4 modification that aims to make the game more enjoyable, and its development will never be limited with a ruleset such as "VQ4" (Basic Quake 4).

GTX

GTX is a graphic mod developed for Doom3 and Quake4 that enhance the game experience with new graphic effects never seen before in the game.
