BF2142, Quake War and Crysis - same type of game

[MrChris_CJ]

Crysis Multi has the vehicles yeh, even if it was IO the strength moves would turn you into a tank

"Vehicles:

All four of the multiplayer game types will support vehicles but only Power Struggle will have all of the vehicles included in it. However, unlike other games that have vehicles in them, the vehicles in Crysis will not be overpowered. This is due to the realistic damage system that Crysis has in place. With the addition of the Nano Suit it will no longer be a reflex to get in the first vehicle you see. Many players will find that because of the nano suit and other gadgets that not getting in a vehicle is more fun and you don't have to worry about being killed at the sight of a chopper or tank."

there is one game that still owns all others

Unreal Tournament

people hare so hyped about Crysis graphics, check this out:



(If you mean the origina unreal tournament; yeah that's fun )

3D Boobies!!

Yeah, UT3 looks pretty good too. It'll be a good fast action shooter for sure.

3D Boobies!!

Finally a great reason to upgrade to a DX10-compatible graphics card!

...What do you mean "the boobies don't need DX10"? :shock:

[MrChris_CJ]

3D Boobies!!

I knew it!!!

any unreal tournament, all of them are class, 2004 is superb, cant wait for ut3 tbfh

I will likely skip ET:QW (the clan isn't too excited about playing it and I joined a clan to play with others not alone).

I'm looking forward to Crysis, Frontlines: Fuel of War and Call of Duty 4 but of course whether I buy them or not depends on how good the demos for those games end up being.

I'm getting worn out of 2142. Looking forward to Crysis and CoD4 mainly .

[Wizrdwarts]

Comparing BF2142 and ETQW is like comparing America's Army and Counter-Strike.

Sure they're in the same genre, but each has a different style of play.

I played the Quake Wars beta and after flying around in the Strogg Attack Heli and getting shot down by someone's machine gun

LOL yes it was humiliating to get gunned down by an infantry machine gun in flying armor like it was made out of plasticine

yep, same thoughts here.

i hate unreal style games, same reason i hate quake wars and will prolly hate frontlines. i only think crysis will be good modded. i dont like the whole gimmicky multiplayer abillities. i wanna see a battlefield style mod for it. as far as gameplay goes nothing beats operation flashpoint.

[Dangerdog]

Operation Flashpoint (aka now Armed Combat / Assault) is a tad too hard core for my taste. I bet someone makes a pseudo realism mod for crysis though, I think there was one for Far Cry. The nano suit will be a little over the top, you’re supposed to be able to punch tanks to death.

As much as I enjoy Battlefield games I sort of hope that beyond tweaking the infantry combat some perhaps I don’t want to see conquest mode get modded in.

I don’t mind Unreal Tournament games because they don’t try to be something they’re not *cough* et:qw *cough*. If you set out to make a true arcade shooter then don’t deviate from that goal, I kind of like the fact that it’s really just more of the same with better graphics too, changing the formula just to be ‘different’ is always a mistake – unless you’re starting out with an entirely new IP

[Roger Smith]

well obviously changing the formula of an ip is bad. but im just sick of this stagnation. i honestly never gave a damn about graphics. i want to interact with the enviornment and the ai in new and exciting ways. dice is working on a game now called mirrors edge. in the game you are a rooftop courier that does "Free running" or "parkour". that to me is something new an different. i want non-linier open enviornments that are big. i want interactivity. i want highly lethal non sprayable weapons. i want high mobility highly effective vehicles. and i want these weapons and vehicles to all be unique and not redundant. and i want this all in multiplayer. thats whats going to be the next benchmark for me. hl2 was a step in the right direction, but since its release nothing really inovative has been done with it. and with games like stranglehold being more gimmick than game, i have yet to see a game that really gets me excited. i hope mirrors edge changes that.

geez i sure want alot hugh :P

[Cantina_Fly]

Surprised only a couple people have mentioned CoD4. True, there are no vehicles, but if you look and see how my IO servers there are in BF, then you know how popular that style of game play is.

Crysis will likely be an awesome SP game (much like FarCry before it.) I'm taking a wait and see on the MP element.

ETQW is a mixed bag for me so far. Vehicles have gotten much better from beta1 to beta2 IMO. But I haven't figured out whether to play it like BF with a Quake skin, or Quake with vehicles.

[Roger Smith]

i havent played it, but from the looks of the videos its quake with vehicles.
