The quality of life for my children has become unbearable, something I never imagined we would endure,” Mira said.įollowing the earthquake, Turkish authorities announced that “Syrians under temporary protection registered and residing in the earthquake affected provinces (Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Gaziantep, Malatya, Kilis, Osmaniye, Diyarbakir, Adana, Adıyaman, Sanliurfa) can return to Syria temporarily,” but would have to return to Turkey before Septemin order to keep their temporary protection status. With nothing left in Turkey, Mira returned to Syria two weeks after the earthquake with her three surviving daughters, joining her parents in a camp in Harem, where hundreds of internally displaced families live. “My life was totally destroyed after the earthquake,” Mira, 33, told Syria Direct from a displacement camp near the Idlib province city of Harem. Among them were al-Muhammad’s husband and two-year-old son, who died when the building the family lived in collapsed. In Turkey, more than 4,000 Syrian refugees were killed. The 7.6-magnitude earthquake killed more than 52,000 people across both countries. On February 6, a devastating earthquake struck both Syria and Turkey, leaving a trail of destruction and loss in its wake. In Hatay, they lived, worked and had four children.įour months ago, it all came crashing down. Its multiplayer component may not break any new ground, but as a single player experience Quake 4 is a winner.IDLIB ISTANBUL - More than 12 years ago, Mira al-Muhammad and her husband began to build a life in southern Turkey after fleeing her hometown, the Syrian city of Hama, as newlyweds. Quake 4 is fun, frantic and a definite step-up from the dour Doom 3.
LEFT 4 QUAKE PC
The flipside to this, of course, is higher system requirements - you'll need a ninja PC to run Quake 4 at its best, and even at its lowest settings you'll need a computer that's pretty decent to run it lag-free. Just like Doom 3, Quake 4 looks absolutely stunning, displaying a depth and realism that's still impressive to see.
LEFT 4 QUAKE UPGRADE
An upgrade could mean a larger magazine or faster firing rounds - whatever the upgrade is, it usually means more mayhem for your foes. To add a bit of variety, Quake 4 has a weapons upgrade path which sees your guns get upgraded at certain points throughout the game. The weaponry available in Quake 4 is also pretty standard - as well as the typical machineguns and shotguns, you'll get weapons like nailguns, beam rifles and rocket launchers. The controls in Quake 4 are pretty stock standard - if you've played other PC first person shooters, you'll be at home here. Some other human team members also act as medics or techs, who can heal you or replenish your armour at any time. And unlike other shooters where non-player allies usually have the killing power of an angry penguin, your squad members in Quake 4 actually do real damage - they'll even be able to take down some of the bigger enemies given enough time and cover. As Kane is a member of Rhino Squad, you'll be involved in plenty of firefights with your team members by your side. Quake 4 also gives you a great sense of teamplay even in the single player campaign, as several missions require you to fight alongside other marines to achieve your goals. The vehicle sections are a nice change of pace, but can be quite a deal easier than normal gameplay thanks to the fact that your vehicle's shields and armour will automatically recover if left undamaged for a while.
Controls can be a bit floaty for these machines, but they certainly pack a wallop both in terms of firepower and shields. You'll also get the chance to pilot a number of vehicles during the game such as tanks and mechs. Thankfully, Quake 4 quickly shows you that it's a different beast altogether, throwing you gameplay that is a lot more varied than its Doom cousin.Īs well as indoors, Quake 4 sees you fighting in trenches, hangars, wide open desert environments and much more.
Worryingly, the game's first few minutes of gameplay are remarkably similar to Doom 3's, with Kane having to travel through darkened corridors to be occasionally jumped by a hiding Strogg. As opposed to the last two Quake titles which became mainly known for their multiplayer aspects (Quake III particularly), Quake 4's single player campaign is this version's highlight.
