          Aye - I liked the idea of the strogg universe, the intro movie to quake 2 was amazing, the style of the manual was really cool. If Raven can manage to create a game which isn't just a complete piece of shovelware (something they've been incapable of doing since Heretic II), Quake 4 could be really good. The strogg universe is a fucking cool idea, and I'd love to see it in the doom 3 engine. I'd love it.
          
          It'd also be nice if they actually took a step forward from QW gameplay, which it seems nobody's been able to do because they worry too much about making the game just as easy for someone who never plays, as for someone who plays all of the time. God damned market driven gaming decisions, not gaming driven gaming decisions :(
