Quake Wars is great IMO! But...

This tries to be RTCW: ET and it does in many ways. Sure, this has room for improvement (the A.I could be more cunning, vehicles, etc), but I think it does so well at being a fair shooter.

Anyone agree?

i liked it :D valley is getting kinda old thoughbahdom

Totally agreed,also this game is excellent and very atmospheric IMO

i agree with Meh but its just one overplayed map that we play everyday and will never play when the game actually releases.

It'll get better as it goes on.

It's a great game, but the performance just kills it for me. I'll definitely be buying if they improve the performance.

Also, it's QUAKE!! WHERE'S THE BLOOD AND GORE!?!?

I hate Quake Wars...solely because of all the vehicles. Vehicles, in any game, completely take away the skill of the game (unless it's something like the warthog from Halo).

If they improve all the problems with the Demo then i'll possibly be interested, otherwise it gets a thumbs down from me. I know people will say "but its a demo, the final release will be different" and that may be so. But the whole point of a demo or a BETA for that matter is to give players an indication of what the final product will be like, and i for one wasn't impressed at all with Quake Wars.

The game just seemed, to some it up in a word, clunky!

It has tons of flaws, particularly some pretty big balance issues, but despite all that, it ends up being a pretty fun shooter. Not worth normal retail price for a new game, though.

my thoughts exactly

AI? the game has a single player mode? when i last read about it, there was no single player mode, no ai, it was multiplayer only, and so i stopped following it (i mostly play singleplayer)

i never played W:ET and quake wars is running a cool £17 in uk, which is pretty cheap - i might pick up a copy if it does have singleplayer

QW is no RTCW. RTCW was fun for years... QW was fun for one weekend.

someone please tell me... is there any VOIP in this game??? why the hell would you make a objective-based online multiplayer game where team play is an absolute MUST and not have a way to speak to your teammates to form some sort of strategy? i looked but never found any VOIP.

also, since i brought up teammates, why can't you form squads? this isn't as big of a flaw to me as the lack of a mic, but it still makes things difficult. there are other problems i could bring up but i mainly just wanted to voice my concern about an online game that doesn't have support for a mic.

It'd be good if Splash Damage wasn't expecting to be paid for it...

Enemy Territory: RTCW should have been the game to go retail.

Its pretty damn good, I dont see why the hate, its a better version of battlefield with no mindless "Lets get teh flags constantly with very minor area battles lolololol... no viechles left I have to run!" ... nice choke points, excellent classes (Although clearly Medic needs some work ... hes not half as good as RCTW's medic.... which was overpowered.

Best so far as Strogg Infiltrator, online , 8 Awards in 1 round:

Best Cov Op

Most Accurate ( Lacerator , not Sniper )

Most Battlesense

Most Damage

Most Kills

Most Upgrades

Most EXP

Best Light Weapons

Needless to say, PWNAGE. :D

It looks to much like battlefield to be ET, it looks to much like ET to be battlefield and It's to slow to be Quake. Basically this game is stuck in the middle, things feel out of place and the game just never feels immersive. The only time you really get into the game is when your team is working together, but the lack of VoIP and decent commands make this nearly imposibble.

The only reason this game will probably last is because of it's competitive value. I've played a lot of matches during the beta stage and the game is very well balanced. It also allows many different tactics. But if you're buying this game for pubbing, you may want to reconsider getting something else.

i play the demo and the game looks ok but the performance kills it for me. i never get more then 30 frames even in the menu wtfcrapdog

it is capped at 30 frames ¬¬
and i don't know what you guys are complaining about, i thought the graphics pretty good and i can do 4xAA with everything else maxxed...
