Worth mentioning that Kayne was meant to be stroggificated into Tactical Elite, because he has other severe augmentations aside from Regular Tacticals and was somewhat approved by Macron, but stroggification for Kayne (for his unit) wasn't fully shown in the game.

The Tactical Strogg are converted space marines from the SMC, Space Marine Corps. That is why they are tougher than the regular Strogg Guards which are converts from either regular human infantry from Earth and its colonies or converts from other, near human, races.
This is why we need that cancelled expansion pack for this game called Quake 4: Awakening to get released to the public as I have seen some terrifying enemy designs for that game that would make the ones in this game seem tame by comparison!
3:15 Makes sense They need to maul their victims' faces until they're unrecognizable since the Strogg can only fit so many models in the game data It does seem they made a massive oversight, though, by not putting the neurocyte in first. But I guess the game needed to happen :)
Still hoping it gets a minor remaster ala Doom 3's BFG edition, with a new campaign that closes the storyline following what the canceled expansion Awakening was to do.
This is so much based. I am amazed at how loyal the Q4 fanbase is. Never expected to see someone upload a video on this underrated game, in 2024. Also great editing, please make more. Subscribed :D
I think Infliltrators are made to be more independent and self aware on purpose than typical grunt Strogg. Their task is to work behind enemy lines using espionage, sabotage and deception, like posing as GDF soldiers in Quake Wars. Similiar in concept to Terminator.
I'm hoping if Quake VI continues the Strogg War narrative. Bitterman makes his epic return along with Athena and Major (Quake III Arena). Fighting along Rhino Squad in a final epic conclusion to the conflict.
Quake 4 is just simply awesome lore and mood all around. Reminded me of a ultra violent Paul Verhoeven film mixed with the gory practical effects of a Brian Yunza film.
I was 10 when I played Quake 4 for the first time. Needless to say, even to this day I can't use the word "forgettable" to describe the entire stroggification process.
i find it interesting all the way around as although your an individual in the strogg you more or less become something new once its over reborn.you but not you not exactly hive mind yet incredibly close with an overwhelming sense of a single objective that being war.not just talking war in the traditional sense but a purge of anything thats not reused its truly wild as for as advanced as they are you would expect them to understand that they can’t go on without others to eat off of and so i got to ask what happens when there is no one else to kill?do they kill one another in civil wars of some kind?what is the end goal if there even is one?id love to understand the mindset on that as it could almost be a religious thing or something close to it.i can see it now all the worlds going to war one last time each trying to out match each other like a serpent eating its own tale and then one is simply left.the last of them the perfect warrior and yet he has no one to fight what would he do?how would he react?i think it would be a fun idea for a storyline in truth.
Watching your videos about Quake 4 always brightens my day. Coherent explanation, excellent graphics, excellent everything! I got goosebumps at the part where Kane's human face changes to his stroggified face. Also Kane's voice became very similar to the original! Perfect as always!! ʕ´◠ᴥ◠ʔ💚
Amazing how much AI has improved in the last decade. I thought you had a real person narrating the video. Reminds me of a college paper I wrote saying computers (this is before A.I. was mainstream) wouldn't never get to the point to think on their own. I'm not sure if I would come to the same conclusion if I wrote that paper today. In any case, great videos btw!

For a while, I think I played the demo of Quake 4 more than the actual game. ^^ It's true that Peter Stormare's voice is fantastic. Every time I hear him scream at Kane to get out of there, it gives me goosebumps.
When Kane became part Strogg, the number of people who can read and understand the Strogg language went from 8 to 9.
Who's the other 8?

When you realise in 4 strogg started adapting against humans by making their own brand of marines, the tactical strogg.
and every time you fight them during act 2, they are trying to intercept your body so your neurocyte can be activated, probably

If Quake 6 doesn't continue the story line, i will be very sad
wait there's a quake 5?
@@MusicalArmageddon if you count QC as Quake 5, then yes
Sadly, people will disagree. They want more Lovecraft that Q1 had.
everytime i watch your Quake 4 videos I have to play Quake 4, its just a shame we wont get a sequel to this game
Indeed 🙁
To this day, Kane is still waiting for those new orders with the Macron laughing.

It would make a lot of sense. The Strogg troops during the Earth invasion appeared more multi-skilled than the one on Stroggos.
ah yes
export stroggs
The sheer amount of work you must have put into this video is crazy.
It’s always a good time watching your videos!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!

So when's the next segment about my goofy baby, Strauss?
We can't get an interview because there were a "dozan" soldiers guarding him :D
@@HimzoKevric we gotta at least have a cool segment about how he escaped capture by himself.
