Some of the included maps are modernized versions of popular multiplayer levels of the predecessors Quake 2 and 3. In addition, there is Arena Capture the Flag, which extends the normal CTF mode by adding so-called runes (permanent power-ups ). Game modes in multiplayer are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag (CTF) and Tournament, all of which were also available in Quake 3. The crouch slide was introduced as a new type of movement, a sliding movement in a crouch that can be used (also in combination with the other trick jumps) to increase speed.
So it is now possible to ricochet grenades from jumppads and shoot projectiles through teleporters. Differences mainly affect the physics of the game. This also applies to a number of popular trick jumps (circle / penalty jumps) that made the feel of the older Quake parts. The multiplayer mode is based on Quake III Arena in terms of gameplay. In different levels, the player is on the move in futuristic military vehicles such as floating tanks or mechs. In contrast to its predecessor, the player often fights in association with other soldiers. The progress of the story is conveyed via the radio messages and short exchanges with the comrades. In the further course of the action, the player is repeatedly brought together with soldiers from his squad in order to carry out various tasks (for example infiltration or sabotage), to which he is instructed by radio. The gameplay follows the genre-typical peculiarities: The player first fights in a team with computer-controlled comrades, is later separated from them and has to survive a few missions alone. Armed with his new skills, Kane becomes a key figure as the war progresses, but his Strogg-esque appearance also makes him an outsider. But shortly before his consciousness is brought into line, he can be freed from his troops. During this endeavor, Kane is captured by the Strogg and transformed into a cyborg himself.
In the course of the plot, the Marines try to detonate an EMP in the core of a central computer in order to interrupt communication between the Stroggs. You take on the role of Matthew Kane, who takes part in the invasion as a member of the Rhino Squad.
But the Strogg have meanwhile elevated a new macron to their leadership and hardly lost any of their fighting power. After the supreme general (Makron) of the Strogg was killed, the Terran forces prepare a major invasion of the home planet of the Strogg. The storyline of Quake 4 ties in directly to Quake II.
