Now, I've just come from watching the QW video. First thing that came to mind was that the Strogg aren't killy enough but seriously.. the game looks beautiful don't it? Who ever said the doom3 engine couldn't handle big outdoorsy areas will be kicking themselves now huh.
The actual gameplay, at least that demonstrated in the trailer doesn't look too appealing really.. I can't describe it other than a severe dislike of the trailer as a whole.
Compare what we see in that movie to what we know about bf2, and what is likely to be in bf2142.. and we get the masters of FPS (id software) trying to reach a new level of fighting. Bf2142 and QW are going to have a very similar feel I think, both will have walkers, flyers, buggies, foot soldiers, guns, and presumably some degree of melee combat. However they look like they're going to function almost totally different. Bf2142 will likely remind us of bf2, with large, open industrialised maps (complete with the lame ZOMG CARRIER ^_________^), and QW appears to hold out more to constricted battle grounds.. like tunnels, canyons and buildings.
Focusing on weaponry we can expect much of the same from bf2142; grenades, rocket launchers (of some kind) automated rifles and of course, the pistol. Each kit will have a set restriction of what can be carried, what type of weapon specifically. QW? Well.. presumably it can't copy the bf series, so how will it work? The same old pick-up-as-many-guns-as-you-like style? Or maybe go for a F.E.A.R. style where you can pick up whatever guns you like, except that you're restricted to a certain number of weapons. Most likely, it will be a SoF kind of selection, where you pick your weapon load out BEFORE you hit the ground, but still retain that total freedom of choice.
Rumour has it that the different factions will have different strengths and weaknesses too, I think we can expect strogg to jump higher or run faster or something, you know. Maybe humans get more ammo who knows.
Just between me and you's, QW doesn't feel like what I want, and I'm telling you all this because good chance is that since we all enjoy the same game here, there's other people who feel the same as I do.
I want to hear what you think.
