Quake 4 is set right after the evil one is taken out by the lone marine.
I would pressume only a couple of days or maybe at most a month after it.
Why then is every weapon different and every effect for the weapons different ?
continuity people.

For the same reason the rabbit never gets the trix. That's just the way it is.

Ahh, they have to upgrade with the times. Also, different types of units may have different loads of weapons, so that doesn't bug me any.
Now off hand, I do think they could have at least tried to keep a little of the architectural style. Granted, you'd give it more detail and such, but Q2 had a definite style to it. Q4 could have tried to incorporate that some.
