Quake 4 with Cross-Platform Multiplayer Lands on Mac App Store

Quake 4, which was originally released for the Mac in 2006, is now available on the Mac App Store for $19.99. Given older games prior to this that have landed with only ‘campaign’ modes and without a multiplayer component, Mac gamer fans will be glad to know that this one will not only include online play but will also allow online play across platforms. The online play is said to support game modes and types like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Tournament, Capture the Flag, Arena CTF and DeadZone. In order to play the game, your Mac will require an Intel processor and as for video cards that are supported, there is a vast list available.

In the unlikely case that some of you are unfamiliar with the game title, it is a first person shooter game with a story that goes a bit like this. “Earth is under siege by the Strogg, a barbaric alien race moving through the universe consuming, recycling and annihiliating any civilation in their path, In a desperate attempt to survive, an armada of Earth’s finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet.” If that doesn’t intrigue you enough then for the price of $19.99, you can just click here to go to the Mac App Store and purchase the game for yourself.
