    Re: quake wars sucks

    Besides all of this is quite irrelevant its impossible to fully gauge what the gameplay will be like from the videos that have been presented to us.

      Incorrect. Through the empirical method, I have found that, on the relevant scale:

      Sell my granny! - 5 - CS 1.5, Quake Wars

      Bloody awesome - 4 - Too many to name, Doom/Quake, CS Sore @55, Battlefield 2 etc

      Fun to play - 3 - Solitaire

      Good - 2 - Solitaire

      Decent - 1 - Solitaire

      Could do better - 0 - C&C 3 (0.5), C&C Generals

      N/A - -1 - BF2142, ET (Atari game), Microsoft Bob

        Same engine.

          Re: quake wars sucks

          I just recently started having some mild concerns about QW. Mostly because I am concerned about map sizes and area's of conflicts. I'm going to have to see what it is like when/if I get the beta test. But I wonder if it is going to be as fast pace as BF2. Q3 was hella fast back in the day!

          I hope I am not disappointed. Because I don't want to end up a general in BF2 just because I am not having as much fun in QW.

          We'll see though, it is kinda early to tell, because word on the street is limited. I still have a lot of faith in my boys at Id and Splash Damage.

            I just realized that there could be a skybox boundary around the map. That would really suck, it's one of the things that made me not like Tribes:Vengeance, it might seem like a minor detail but the ability to go beyond the map boundaries makes the map seem that much larger.

            QW should be more focused than BF2 is, so you can get to the action and start fighting quickly. But I hope there is still at least some sandbox feel.

              As I see it, Quake (going by previous games) is fast paced and twitchy - essentially, bunnyhop around the map and open fire on everything that moves. No intelligence required.

              Never a good idea to judge a game by just videos though. I'm planning to buy it to see what it's like, certainly does look promising :)

                All i'm saying is it doesnt look creative at all. You fix things with a needle nose pliers? (not saying a wrench is any better). Still, theres something resembleling a mech, some choppers, and just a bunch of weird guns. I just dont get why people are saying its gonna be better other than the fact that its a new game. But whatever, to each his own.

                  Rocket as for the maps, people dispersing around should not happen, there is a frontline system where the objective that needs to be completed has to be done before another task can be undertaken and this creates a natural frontline for the combat.

                  I suggest watching the first (gameplay) part of this video and it should put your mind at rest.

                  It may be a Quake title but ET players are going to be more tuned to the game play, it is no where near as much as a twitch game as much as any of the Quakes are.

                    It had best be a twitch game, with quickscoping for the snipers and all.

                    That's probably the most annoying difference between BF2 and other games, the pace is too f*cking slow.

                      BF2 & 2142 are not based on the Doom 3 engine, so how can it be the same?

                        Can`t wait for it, and I hope it will be fast paced like Quake 2/3, ET were.
                        I hope bunnyhopping and all that will be in there, it`s a part of Quake and ET and should be in, but if not then no biggie.

                          He said that Quake Wars has a better engine than bf2 and bf2142 combined. But bf2 and bf2142 use the same engine.

                            Therefore QW Engine > 2xBF2 Engine

                              That goes without saying

                                Then we're stating the obvious.

                                Love tautologies - this post is one. Argh, there's another one. Ooops.
