ID SOFTWARE RELEASES NEW
QUAKE 4 PC MULTIPLAYER
MAP PACK
Mesquite, TX – December
20, 2005 – Shaking up the holiday season with a trio of aftershocks, id Software™, Raven Software
and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) 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
free download at www.idsoftware.com.
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
