Quake 4 multiplayer to be shown off at QuakeCon

As if you needed another reason to go/ whine about not being able to go to QuakeCon's 10th event, id Software and Activision have made a joint announcement that, at the event, they will showcase Quake 4's online aspect, which "is based on the speed, style and overall multiplayer feel found in the popular QUAKE III Arena." That's quite a statement since Quake III Arena, to me, was basically the most adrenaline-pumping, in-your-face, intense deathmatch experience
(that is, until Unreal Tournament 2004).  I just hope they continue to be nice to the mod community and give out some good tools, because one of the most refreshing aspects of Quake III was its customizability.

Also appearing at QuakeCon is Doom 3: Resurrection for the Xbox, which is great and all, but... Quake 4.  That tends to overshadow anything else in my mind.  Check out the trailer
here.
