Quake Wars - Where is the Love?

This game looks unbelievable.

It's being released in a month, June 5th, and I rarely see any hype. Yes, I know its multi-plat now, but still, I fail to see it in any of the "what are you most excited for?" threads and such.

The developer, Splash Damage, is literally the perfect developer for this style of game. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was a really well-balanced, fun game. It made every class feel important and crucial to winning a game for a team.

The only part of the game that I am skeptical of is the use of the DOOM 3 Engine. Not that the screenshots/videos look bad, but most the games using the DOOM 3 engine haven't been "killer apps" or anything. And the overall size of Quake Wars doesn't seem ideal for the DOOM engine.

But back to the point, Quake Wars looks AMAZING! Definitely in my top 5 games of 2007.  Its a good time to be a PC, XBox 360, or PS3 user.

Here are some images and videos of what to expect :D

I know that this game doesn't look as good as some of the upcoming PC games such as Crysis, but the graphics aren't the pinacle of the game. Splash Damage developing another class-based multiplayer game = pure ownage. Throw in a good graphics engine is just the cherry on the top.  

I'm really psyched about Quake Wars, although you will probably find a lot more PC gamers hyped about  it than 360 users. I've already pre-ordered my copy and registered on the Quake Wars Website. This game should sell very well. It's coming to the PC in June, 360 is still TBA.

Add me to your Xfire friend's list if anyone here wants to play in a month!!, my username's in my sig.

im hyped for it. the Strogg need a good ass-kickin

I hope this game actually does come out on June 5. I doubt it now though, they haven't even released the beta for it yet, which they were supposed to release mid April. Maybe they just aren't going to do that though. Oh well, can't wait.trix5817

We ALWAYS get our asses handed to us. Halo, Killzone, Resistance, Quake, Hellgate: London, Crysis...just to name a few off the top of my head.

Damn :(. I hope the Xbox 360 version is released this year, a summer release would be awesome but I don't see them releasing it in the holiday season because of the steep competition...

it looks fun, but it also looks overly simplistic... aka.. it wont kill BF2organic_machine

It will for those that prefer troop shooter combat over viechle whoring (I like BF before you use that against me ;D) , its like ET:Wolf in the regards to CHOKE points, fueling troop combat alot more, I get bored alot on BF when I got no viechle and have to run between places, only to find 1-2 enemies at that node and the combat lasts about 10 seconds ... very frustrating, this game should correct that, the maps are designed as progressive not "TAG TEH ZONES", nice gameplay improvement.

I certainly hope so. I hope THIS is what was missing in quake 4s multi. I really hope id software redeems itself with this title. Its not the company it used to be.

ID Software isn't developing this, Splash Damage is. And trust me, they are VERY reliable with these types of games (I suggest you go download Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, its a free multiplayer game to download and very fun and enjoyable).

oh sorry, my bad. well then, wth is id software doing? They better be doing something new and unique cause, imo, doom 3 was a let down and they need to make kick ass games again.

Go play Enemy Territory: Wolfenstein, and try to say that. Wolfenstein >>>> BF2. 

Yeah im most def getting this for my PC. No 360 ports for me. I know how they are. Killfox

Same here. If it's a shooter, I always pick it up for my rig.

The good part about RTCW: Enemy Territory is that EVERYONE can enjoy it, even on PC's that are years and years old. I would highly suggest everyone goes and downloads it as it's still a lot of fun, plus there are so many people that still play, it's insane. 

Here's the site they launched just to get everyone psyched up!!!

being a quake fan im very hyped up for this cant waitcoming from the makers of enemy territory only means good things for this game

I agree, although that isn't to say that BF2 is a bad game, Wolfenstein is just so much more of a unique and amazing experience.

I love how much depth these games have, and how much you have to learn to become "elite". Wolfenstein took me months to become a veteran, and it was so worth it. This will definitely be one of the best clan games ever (btw, does anyone know if there is a clan feature enabled in the game?)

The hermits who would be hyping this game are busy arguing about hte 1337ness of crysis, thats why theres no hype (well.. and now it's multiplat... but we all know how that went with RTCW)

I'll be upgrading my comp just to play this game.. crysis can go to **** .. splash damage makes great multiplayer Fps, the best IMO, straight up...

ET was great... and this time they actually get to have the resources/time to finish the game..

It dissapoints me its in the quake universe... thats kinda meh.... but... the ET part of it lets me look past that and know that this will probably be the best multiplayer FPS of the year (yeah... including halo, crysis, and everything else)

Just because there's hype for Crysis doesn't mean it's no good. Hell, if your gonna upgrade, why not enojoy the game too? I would bet it'll be worth it, at least for the single player, whereas Quake ought to be killer multi for sure.

BTW, I just read on another forum that ET might be pushed back to September, not sure how true that is though, as all the sites are still saying June 5th.

I was really excited about this game when it was shown on last years E3. I agree there is basically no mention about this game. I would get this for PC but the thing is my PC wont be able to run it and plus my 32 inch monitor died on me so i been using my old 17inch =(. I hope this game will be good on the 360. So is this game going to be released on PC 1st or being released at same time with the consoles?

 To me quake 4 was a dissapointment. I agree it was somewhat of a flop. I use to play the heck out of quake 2 on PC when it came out until my friend lost the CD =(.

Yahoo has a good video, and well written preview

 Didnt it get pushed back from last year already... idc care that much... I still play with my clan on ET... and the reason I wont get crysis is because I thought far cry was overrated, and that the same is going to happen to crysis (I think it already is being overrated) both because of the "1337" graphics... 

I think crytek can make good graphics... but... meh on there shooters... if i'm going to play one game for hundred (possibly thousands) to really become great at it online, I'd rather do it with the game with the best, most compelling gameplay, not for graphics (that will be beaten 6 months later)...

Lol, kinda a rant.. but... I expect no FPS to beat QW in multiplayer (gameplay) untill Splash-damage releases another game... they're that good IMO.

Oh, and I wont need Crysis because I'm a wolfenstein fanboy, and ET will cover my PC FPS needs for along time..

thats one of 2 kinds of fanboy i'll own up too 100%
