Fear vs Quake4
what is better in terms of SP Question


...depending on what you like more:

FEAR is far more elaborated in gameplay in my opinion. you need skills and strategy to beat the excellent AI. rushing into the enemies and shooting means certain death. you need to consider which weapon you are taking with you and there is not always ammunition when you need it....on the technical side its weaker than Quake4. the performance of the engine is bad and many levels look repetitive. but the death animations, blood and gore use and slow-motion shootouts are very well done.

QUAKE4 is a fast, old-fashioned shooter in "Doom" tradition, only run-strafe-shoot...you need reflexes, but no strategic approach . lots of action, lots of weapons. I think its a good choice if you liked Painkiller and Serious Sam. the performance is far better than Fear, runs almost as good as HL2 with max settings.

downside for both games is the SP campaign is rather short.

best choice is of course to play BOTH games Very Happy

hmzz, when i run the game whit the extra block lines in my host file the games runs fine and there is no asking for a cd-key. But when i'm using the private server patch it keeps asking for a cd-key. So you mean that when i use the private server patch the extra lines in my host file is not enough and i need a firewall to block this. I think that when i block it with the then there is no mp prossible.

I would say that when you've blocked the exe, then there is no way to play mp. I would also say the private server patch is for the server side.

I've not tried to play mp yet. If I get it to work I'll let you know.
Ask Xerofighter to see how he got it to work.

strange i just copied the .exe from vaseline to my quake 4 folder, replacing the deviance crack
and it doesn't ask for a cdkey


this patch deactivated the authing thing right?
so if you would enter the deviance serial again you should get to the main menu, the game needs a serial before it can try to connect to the auth server(which is disabled)
after you entered the serial you should get to the main menu

and then you can play online

i thought i got a screen which asked me for a cdkey when i tryed to join a game, i entered the cdkey from deviance, and off i went

Thats a very retarded salution from deviance, if you block exe with firewall you wont be able to play mp.


excuse me but people who get pirated games should know not to expect multiplayer games
if you want multiplayer buy the game

Both are borring for me, quake 4 even more because of borring space enviroment i seen same in many games like star treck and star wars.


Btw if someone with ATI cards have low fps disable shadows it rise up from 25 to 60 (60 is max fps by default) on my machine.

try opening those ports

Yes i have done that but the patch is a bit buggy. Sometimes i can you it in about 5 sec hanging. An sometimes it hangs on authenticating. Someone posted that the servers with ports 280004 t/m 280007 did't work but there are a lot more servers that don't work. I think only servers without punkbuster work!!

There's nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.
