Quake vs. BF

Re: Quake vs. BF

lol if most of you had played the original enemy territory and read any previews of QW showing game ideas and screenshots ud know its gonna pwn the socks off 2142 in a flash

games that are actually meant to be games are always better than EAs next money making scheme

But, EA is not PRODUCING the game, only PUBLISHING it.

What that means, if you haven't figured it out already, is that EA is the one with the buxxorz to write the software to disk, and that's THEIR job.

DICE is the one programming the game, and as such, they don't do it solely for money, like EA would. If DICE and EA hadn't merged, then DICE could have chosen a different publisher (like Atari -bad move :P- or Ubisoft, or even NCSoft.)

And besides, we know what happens to unpopular games, EA kills them in the crib, and axes the game developers. There MUST be a reason why people are playing BF2 and not ET right now. Hell, I never even bought wolfenstein, because I didn't care about it. But I bought bf1942, and BF:V.

And besides, I've had a little discussion with Sir.Eden about QW:ET ingame "ranking" system, and I've already shown why it's BS. Find that thread, see what I mean.

Re: Quake vs. BF

Although i do agree with most of what you said, i would like to point out that there are still a ton of people playing ET. In fact, i just reinstalled it the other day and was shocked how many full servers were running. My belief as to why more people are playing bf2 though is simply because of the silly badges and ranks.

Re: Quake vs. BF

The ranks and badges and unlocks are lame. The people who I have seen avidly following their badges and medals were all very young and very immature. (Also they were annoying, but that's just my perspective)

ET:QW will not play like quake3/4. I have read a few hands-on reviews, and it sounds like it will have gameplay very close to the original ET. as mentioned a few posts ago, ET is a free download and quite popular. It is similar to bf2, but the objectives are more linear (a linked chain of objectives), and the the gameplay is more action-packed. Because the action is focused on only 1 or 2 objectives at a time, it can get quite hectic. There tend to be nasty choke points.

For ET, overall kills per minute is probably at least double compared to bf2. There are some vehicles in QWET, but not as many as in bf2.

If you really want to get a taste of what QWET will play like, go download ET. Note that most of the players are probably all quite good since the game has been out for so long.

Re: Quake vs. BF

You really think the lack of ranks would stop jet whores, tank whores?

It might kill off medic whores, but not vehicle campers. Don't lie to yourselves, ranking has only given some scerick (sp?) of persistance to this title.

Exactly.

Obviously anyone who would say such a thing hasn't played BF1942.. ever.

They did it then, they do it now, they'll do it tommorow and the next day so on and so on.

Re: Quake vs. BF

Wait so BF2142 is better that Quake wars because it has unlocks?? BS
If people cared that much about unlocks some people would have bought Euro force...And EA would push the release of AF if it was a success rather than whore out 2142. Quake Wars looks better, probably plays better (since 2142 is still a modified BF2 engine, which is a modified BF1942 engine) plus looks like it might have something called originality, which is the ban of all games published by EA.

Re: Quake vs. BF

Have you even heard of the Titan mode? Did you watch the 20 minutes detailed video? This game lacks originality? No, i think not. How is taking one series (Quake) and whoring what Battlefield has already made, making a new game, original? Wow i can't wait to play the strogg.. oh wait that makes maybe, no difference? The only people who would really care are the quake players. Oh and the super fast running is lame.

ive heard of titan mode and ive seen the vid and i can tell you straight away i think it lacks originalty... :p

however thats not a bad thing as ive like 1942 i liked DC and a like BF2 so more of the same ? yes please ....

BUT ! it does seem like all thats happened is they have had to knock out a whole new game just to give us an extra mode....TITAN MODE !!! meh... where's my CTF ffs !!!!.... ooooo never mind ive just seen a tank with legs and the guns have a blue flash now ......actually hang on dont those hover craft things lok like the have been whored off the C&C series ?

however i cant remember which thread it was in but one forum member did point out a very valid point... Quake has always been about netcode and that will work in its favor i think.

also quake is hardly whoring as it was born of the daddy of all fps's .... wolfenstien... in fact bf whored off ID's newly created fps genre.

CTF in 64 player would never work. Hover craft have been in more games than I can count on my fingers and toes, but namely; Wargames, Halo, Halo2, Warhammer 40k (thats right, the 30 year old BOARD GAME ipschwitz!) and yes, TibSun. Lets not forget to mention Alpha Centauri, almost every starwars game, wipeout 2... the list goes on.

Get some real material before you hassle someone else.

No doubt Sir.Eden will cry about this, but I can't really see the point in ripping off two seperate franchises ideas. UT assault mode, and BF conquest, mixed together to make the aborted fetus that the strogg/earth war represents. Whenever I watch a QW trailer, gameplay video, I can't help but feel this innate sense of being cheated..

Netcode means two flicks of **** all if the game sucks. And lets face it, recently, more and more **** games are being released. Eventually the player base will get fed up with these sub-par excuses for entertainment, and leave what's released next alone. One of the reasons why Atari is floundering, is because of that exact problem.

Quake 4 was crap. Really.

Who knows, maybe what I say now is not what I'll feel after playing it, but for now: QW looks like turd.

Got no loooove for that title baaybeh, got no loooove for her at allll..

Always nice to hear from the shallow end of the gene pool.....

CTF in dc worked with more than 64 players and it would still work now, stupid child.

Thank you for reinforcing my point that 2142 seems to lack originality by quoting more games where hover fighters exist (i quoted c&c as the little fighters look almost the same) but like i said in mine its not a bad thing as what they have in BF2 is good anyway.

dont even mention warhammer in my prescence again ever ! the only way one of those 'painted by muppets' things would even hover is if you held it up in your hand or hung it on some string....

as for crap games bieng released you already quoted 2 ... halo & halo 2 QW looks like a real contender to the online vehicle fps crown and the vids look good but so do the ones for 2142...

Im pleased you can count all the way to 20 on your fingers and your toes i suggest instead of posting crap you can get your mum to count to 21 for you !

*edit.. hmm shall i end my post with a daft little sing song... nope im not imbred with a room temprature iq :laugh2:

Typical, some snot nosed pom thinks he's the ****.

When these games are released, I'll be glad that I'll never have to play in your presence, your majesty.

Re: Quake vs. BF

Ill take Quake, thx

And Quake actually looks like theres a brutal war going on
BF3242 or whatever looks like a paintball fest with robots in it

PS just cause it has the name "QUAKE" in it, doesnt mean its quake 3 style deathmatch ffs, so no uber fast running or crazy bunnyhopping. Watch the goddamn trailer.

I hope you'r right. That would be fun. But don't forget that the entire Quake community is also waiting for that game. Quake fans like Quake style.

Watch some of the in-game videos, the running is still fast.
