QUAKE WAR BETA A DISSAPOINTMENT ??

I'm still having issues using AA in this game, which sucks because there are a tonne of jaggies I'd like to get rid of.

I played again for about an hour last night, but to be honest it is not grabbing me. I really think they need to release another map or two; something with a different feel.

its only a beta</end quote></div>

if they plan on releasing on time the only thing they'll do is make tweaks. this game needs more than tweaks to make it better, imo.

they basically need to re-do the whole game and not make it a BF2/BF2142 clone.</end quote></div>

I wouldn't mind it was a more like BF but its more like BF console clone with Quake 3 combat action.</end quote></div>

i'm not sure where you're getting the "Quake 3 combat action" from because this game plays exactly like BF2, not Quake 3.</end quote></div>

I have played BF2 since the day its come out spent countless hunreds of hours on and it doesn't come close to gameplay of BF2. Quake Wars tries to look like BF2 stylish graphic but plays more like UT2004.</end quote></div>


we must be playing different games because i've played quake 3 and UT2004 and its not even close. what i played is an exact clone of BF2.

we are talking about Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, correct?

The difference is BF2 and 2142 are 500% better than this...

I too think it sucks... wont be buying anymore =(
rather play Bf2142 or.. WoW

 
Tuteja was kind enough to let me use his login.... I too am disappointed by the game... it's awkward, the guns don't have a good feel to them... Battlefield 2 is far more engaging to me

i wouldn't go that far, maybe about 3-5% better

what i find the biggest difference between BF and QW is the fact that getting into the action, regardless of spawn point, is very easy. in bf, if you need to take back a flag, the closest spawn is still 5 minutes away from where you need to be, and god forbid you don't have any vehicles handy.

have no idea what you are talkin about in 2142 infantry maps.

 
All you that are complaining about aspects of the game...Why don't you report back to ID or whatever, and maybe some of your concerns will be addressed. That's the purpose of a beta, not to give you free software to use for awhile.

the majority of my experience has been with bf2, though i did play the 2142 demo a little. i still can't stand the retardedly long load times for both maps and menus. sweet jesus, htf long does a menu really need to take?

i really don't remember 2142 at all, so most of what i've been saying pertains to bf2. even "small" maps like karkland (sp?) - if you lose certain capture points, and you're out of vehicles, it will take a ridiculous amount of time to get where you need. i've had it too many times 🙁
 
well if the majority of these posts are right and the game does suck i will be very dissappointed because i thought the original et was one of the best fps's ever

Fixed.😉

I'll wait for Crysis and the Obsidian Edge 2 mod.

</end quote></div>

now as much as ETWQ "is ass", i can almost guarantee that crysis will have a much smaller multiplayer base, unless crytek is working some sort of miracle that will put its engine's requirements on par with ETQW, simply from a "how many people can run the damn game" point of view 🙂


edit: i love etqw, it's bf2 with real objectives (not flags) and none of the realistic bullshit "it takes 10 minutes to get to the nearest point of action"
 
I think the game looks good , however I select lower settings when playing MP for better vision, and less visual distractions...

The weapons are the biggest disappointment to me. They just don't seem to have a good visceral feel to them; no "oomph," if you will.

I probably won't be picking this one up either. I was really hoping the game would bring something new to the table other than "megatextures" (yawn).

Would you guys like it if it used the HL2 engine instead of the Doom 3 engine?

Actually, I was hoping this game would combine the great atmosphere and vehicles of BF2, with the gun feel and hit recognition of Counter-Strike: Source...

sadly, I was disappointed. 🙁

Agreed... it's sort of a mindless hyper-fast deathmatch fragfest in one sense that's attempted to be meshed to a slightly more strategic BF2 style game, but it doesn't seem to come off well so far. The weapons and vehicles feel flimsy... aside from some graphical elements, its of a lower quality at the moment than HL2-DM, DOD-S, BF2, etcetera `

i hate CSS's hit style.. the stutter is so FVKCING annoying, and how people are accurate at uber long distances with some guns.. i'll never figure out
 
Far Cry's multi-player, albeit small scale, with a few mods had the best ballistics paired with player movement of any game I've played... the Obsidian Edge mod was really good.

Crysis is going to have full multi-player (maybe not massive player #'s) and a couple release day mods, one of which is Obsidian Edge 2 (crytek is helping with coding and financial support of this mod, AFAIK).

I am really looking forward to Obsidian Edge 2.
 
I think the guys over at ID have lost their edge in gaming. They're begining to do what most lethargic, lazy, software comapnies do when not really trying to put out cutting edge gaming, and living off their past reputation... theyre regurgitating. Doom 3? wasnt impressed, and now they bring out another Quake game with sh!tty graphics and ideas taken from titles like Team Fortress...

..Phooey.

That being said, I've played the beta of Quake war and was instantly unimpressed. Yes I realize its beta, and I know theyre going to tweak it up more before it goes gold. But overall this game just outright blows.

Score: F- Really expected alot more from this.

it sounds like you went in thinking the game would suck, so your conclusion comes to no surprise. fwiw, ET: RTCW is one of the games that pioneered the class-based / XP gain multiplayer combat. just take a look at gamespy's play stats, the original ET is #5 and it's damn old.
