ID SOFTWARE RELEASES NEW QUAKE 4 PC MULTIPLAYER MAP PACK

Shaking up the holiday season with a trio of  aftershocks, id Software™, Raven Software and Activision, Inc. have released the Quakemas Map Pack - three new downloadable maps for QUAKE 4™ on the PC.  The maps—Railed, Tremors, and Campground Redux—offer all-new gameplay environments for more fast-paced, intense multiplayer combat.  These latest maps are now available for download at http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d14485.htm

Railed – Set in an abandoned, rusting Strogg facility, the environment in Railed produces fast paced frenetic tournament action.  This new map is all about close-quarters combat and hair-trigger reflexes as players hustle through the winding, multi-tiered corridors.  Designed particularly for tournament play, Railed also supports Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch game modes, and is guaranteed to provide some thrilling fast-action gameplay.
 

Tremors  – Built within a twisting underground cavern and peppered throughout with pipes, bridges, and catwalks, Tremors demands tactical expertise.  Enemies attack from above and below in the enormous, multi-tiered environment, making team-play invaluable.  Tremors is perfect for huge Capture-The-Flag games, and also supports the Arena Capture-The-Flag gameplay mode.

Campgrounds Redux – With QUAKE 4’s updated technology, Campgrounds Redux now has a fresh look and feel, revitalizing this QUAKE III classic.  Excellent for any number of players, this updated version supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Tournament modes, where hard-core QUAKE fans can get crazy with this throw-back to one of their old favorites.

Developed by Raven Software, and executive produced by id Software, QUAKE 4 for the PC is currently available at retail outlets nationwide for a suggested retail price of $49.99.  A special DVD edition, which includes a full version of QUAKE II® as well as other bonus content, is also available for a suggested retail price of $59.99, and both versions of QUAKE 4 PC are rated “M” (Mature) by the ESRB.
