During a recent 'h4><0ring' incedent involving the id Software Mainframe, a number of screenshots from the forthcoming computer video game 'Quake IV' were leaked into the public domain. These pictures are from the very early stages of development, but give a general idea as to how the game will appear when it is finally released.

← This pic shows the primary weapon, dubbed the 'FUCKER'. It appears to be a basic automatic weapon similar to the machine gun from Quake III. (Note the lighting and translucency effects, this game's graphics are truely superb.

The outdoor areas can be an important feature on some levels. When the 'Pitch Black' bug has been fixed, there could well be some incredible scenery and skylines. id Software promise an exciting, realistic experience every step of the way!

Take careful note of the transparency, lighting and detailed textures. If used correctly, these could help make some truly breathtaking levels.

Some of the other awesome weapons on offer.

← There are two types of grenades as standard, although one is, quite frankly, shit.

← The code for the bots has been ripped straight of Quake III, and promises to be every bit as tough and menacing.

← TAKE SOME OF THAT! A menacing enemy creature eats some fiery death from another new weapon - the 'Bane of London Homeless'.

← There was bound to be some plagiarism from the enemy AI and models in Daikitana, however i am suprised Killcreek was copied so exactly.

← I get the impression from this picture that the enemies in Quake IV will be as frightening as they will be deadly.

← I would hate to have those fierce jaws digging in to me...

Another enemy Rottweiler on the prowl. Look out!

I think we remain undiscovered. ↓

← One last treat - the astonishing mirror effects.

If Quake IV lives up to the hype, id Software will have a winner on their hands yet again, these screeshots can leave the fans assured that they will be getting a quality product in good time.
