Features

With the new technology of today’s computers being able to handle more and more, Raven and iD Software have added some new features into the Quake IV engine.

First the Portals

These allow you to make a quick escape from one area to another. But added in for Quake IV, the fire from many of your weapons can also make the trip through. Rockets, Grenades and the Hyperblaster will come out on the other side, adding a new level of depth to the game.

Second the Jumppads

Grenades will bounce on Jumppads, effectively shutting down that route to your opponent and keeping them away or leaving you alone to fight another time. It can also help launch grenades farther; a clever trick that can be used in many situations.
