The demo ran absolute crap on my average rig with the graphical settings set to what I expect my PC is capable of running.....so I won't be touching it unless I pay up for a new rig that game doesn't mind running on.

Anyways, one thing I'm curious about is voice-chat, did they ever implement it yet? It looked to be one of the most glaring flaws in the game considering it's team orientated, and that all other popular team-based titles have it built-in already.

It is really really bad. Game is way dated . Large enviroments in which you cant hide because you have a big arow above your head, horrible animations and it takes no skill really. Great concept. Graphics are alright but the dated doom 3 engine makes me diable dualview in order to play it with more than 10 fps. Worth the time and money maybe 4 years ago but it is pretty much a waste of both by todays standards.

I love it. It's really different from many other games that I've grown tired off.

Great game, very very fun to pull of a win with like 30 secs left. Im just hoping next patch they do just a flags only setting, no objective that would be cool. But yes alittle late in coming out, shoulda been released forever ago, and as much as people on here say the graphics are dated... compared to what? Graphics look fine cause ahh little hint... people who play Multiplayer games want max fps.. turn your graphics down... not up.

Sorry about your luck because the game runs flawless for me. It also looks pretty nice to boot.

The only quirk that bothers me and its the same complaint with many other is the fact there is no in-game VOIP.

Enjoyed the demo so much I got the Collector's Edition when it came out :P

Great great game that's sadly getting overlooked by big name shooters this fall. Still tons of people online though.

i didn't really like it for some reason. loved how even the demo had lots of people on, but the game sadly didn't appeal to me as much as I hoped. and i was really looking forward to the game, too.

I can't get enough of this game, I only wish the aircraft was a little easier to control but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I can't understand anyone that says the graphics are dated, have you played it on full settings? It looks stunning. Granted it doesn't look as good as Crysis or UT3 but to say it looks dated because it's not as good as 2 games on the market is a little short sighted. Look how many games out there it looks far better than...

Have fun.

i pre ordered the collector's edition, but after i tried the beta i canceled my pre order. i just didn't like it. i don't know what it was cos i like both Battlefields and Unreal Tournaments and this game was kinda mix of them both, but it just didn't play the way i was hoping.

i did try the final demo too, and it wasn't any better than the beta.

Saying that it is like BF2 is very wrong. Quake Wars looks absolutely nothing like Battlefield 2. Saying that it does just shows that you have done no effort to understand the gameplay of the game.

I played the demo and bought the game. It's ok not brilliant - definitely worth the buy as it's quite cheap. Although, I still prefer BF2 for my main FPS on pc.

I think it'sa lot like BF2. Apart from it's not as good. - not as polished - not as good looking - not asfun - not as immersive.

Quake wars:

  • fast paced
  • objective based with a clear frontline
  • Overall more focus on infantry than vehicles
  • Steep Learning Curve

BF2:

  • Slow paced
  • flag capture with no clear frontline
  • overall more focus on vehicles than infantry
  • easy to get into

and not only does Quake Wars look better than BF2. BF2 is horribly polished it has been 2 years since it's release and it's still plagued with technical issues. Quake Wars may not be immersive or fun to you, but for people who actually try to learn the game. It's much more fun and immersive.

Battlefield 2 was a hit and miss. Sure it sold a lot, but the ranking system is what held this game back and what perhaps is keeping it alive.

QW is nothing impressive graphically. It should have been free like wolfenstien.

Honestly, I was not impressed at all. To be fair, I am not a fan of the bunny jumping FPS games where you run around like a chicken with your head cut off. I prefer more "tactical" shooters, like Rainbox 6 and GRAW. But I thought UT4 was a lot better than ETQW, and COD4 better than all of them put together....

It's a really fun game (once you figure out what the heck you're doing), It's the most fun I've had in an MP game in a while and so far beats my initial impressions of the UT3 demo(of which I am a huge fan and have high hopes for).

Quake Wars is amazing good. The graphics are good, not exceptional but guarantees a fluid gameplay in a lot of game systems; the game has classes and they are asymetrical in a lot of ways, and the balance between the infantry and vehicles is much better than in the BF2 (BF2 is my most played mp, but usually I only play in "Infantry Only" servers, because I'm tired about lamechopters and imbafighters (in DICE don't ever have been hearing about Stingers? ). Also, the assault rifles are very accurate at 200 mts, like in the real world, not like in BF2 ( even in single shot and proned some rifles like the F2000 are horrible ).

Probably I'll pass the next year playing mainly the mp of Quake Wars, Crysis and Hellgate; UT III has nice graphics but seems a clone of UT 2004 in graphic steroids. COD 4 could be a good option, also.

Quake Wars has received some meh reviews because the game requires skill and brain at the same grade, but if you judge moodthe gameplay you can se that is one of the mos sophisticated an complex shooters ever created. Makes the fps in consoles and a lot of the PC ones to seem dated and arcaic.
