Embarassing attempt at best, too many quality games on the market now to even consider ETQW! RIP Activision and SD!

With all the quality games released lately this game has no chance, poor AI, closed in maps that provide no scale to the fighting areas, a squad based game that has no VOIP for communicating with teammates or squad members. The list of failures for this game go on and on, multiple patches have still not fixed major issues for many unfortunate purchasers of this game. I have played FPS and many other games for over 15 years, nothing about this game impressed me, not one thing in this game is new or different then the countless other games that have been released in the past. Its a no brainer dont read they hype, because ETQW has nothing to hype, its a one dimensional poorly designed game with plenty of bugs and glitches to waste your time.


Considering I can not even connect online because of connectivity issues with their ISP interface program, I can only play offline with bots. That lasted about 15 minutes when I saw this was junk, and they wasted my money, of course customer service could care less they offered absolutely no fix or solution. They merely wasted my time asking stupid questions like "well did you try to connect again" what level of moron do you need to be to consider that customer service? They have had this problem since release and after 2 patches it is still not fixed, all you need to do is go to the ETQW forum and read the connectivity thread and you will see many people are having problems even logging in to play the game. And ETQW blames your ISP or your router or what ever is the flavor of the month for an excuse of why it has not been resolved.

You will be out $50 if you role the dice on this one, BIOSHOCK, COD4, BF 2142 make great alternatives along with many other great newer releases. Buy Crysis instead, it is light years ahead of anything else on the market today! I unfortunately could not wait for something new to play and made the $50 mistake of buying something I can not use! Of course you will not receive a refund if it does not work for you, so why take a chance?

    Quake wars enemy territory has 12 maps currently, it may not sound like much, but unlike alot of multiplayer games, each map really does have a diverse feel both visually and in it's sense of game play. While many may... Read Full Review
