6 reasons to stop playing BF2 once Quake Wars is released

Re: 6 reasons to stop playing BF2 once Quake Wars is released

Basically, what I read from the replies, QW is just like UT2004. The differences are: UT has bigger maps, it looks different and I rather wait for Unreal Tournament 2007 (~third quarter 2006) than playing Quake Wars.

Don't compare those two, just for your information - BF2 has more bunnyhopping then W:ET for example.

W:ET had stuff like deployable machineguns, mortars, etc ...

Plus UT2k4 is about scifi weapons, QW will still have lotsa futurestic bullet rifles, shotguns etc.

When I first saw the trailer and they said "choose sides" I thought it was going to be an MMOFPS like Planetside, and it really got my hopes up Buts its not. I dont see it being different from UT at all. They have some sweet animations and physics though...

Re: 6 reasons to stop playing BF2 once Quake Wars is released

Is Armed Assault, the new tittle for Operation Flashpoint 2 since they lost the right for the title to the publisher???

If so, yeh it will rock!!

Good years ahead for gamers!!

No. Armed assault is basically operation flashpoint 1.5. Its basically opflash 1 using a new engine and will include new vehicles that (like the little bird in the pic) where not in the original game. Opfash 2 is in production for an unknown release date.

I will be getting both armed assault and quake wars and I will carry on playing Bf2. I still play opflash every now and then.

1. being developed by ID and Splash Damage who support their online communities;

2. gorgeous graphics that wont require an uber quad-sli machine with 5 gigs of ram;

3. objective based online play that will ensure greater team play;

4. vehicles have destroyable components (yes, u can destroy the wheels off vehicles)

5. laser designated strikes;

6. kickass looking vehicles.

1. Do you play COD2? To get a new patch and punkbuster support it took all the server admins to shut down their servers in protest.

2. i can run bf2 on high with my single 256mb gfx card

3.Teamwork depends on players not the game

4.Destroying the wheels of a car is basically the same as destroying the car. But it's still a cool feature.

5. Artillery?

6. The abrams looks kickass on all high :p



I guarrentte (or however it's spelt) that quake wars and armed assault forums will be flooded with whining about how much is wrong with the games. its the same with every game. EG.

Before release:
OMFG this game is gonna r0x0r!!!!!!1111

After release:
This game sux0rs so bad. I can't do blah blah, blah blah don't work, why wasn't yadder yadder included?

Do you remember these forums before bf2 was released. No-one had a bad thing to say about bf2. It was the same on the valve forums before hl2 and DoD:S and on the cod2 forums.

It seems to me, out of strictly observation, that i conclude that it is indeed, just the as you say, "TRUE BF2 GAMER", that does the bitching and complaining. Course i could be wrong.

Moved.

[Hephaistion]

so having objectives make things better? what about CS? most of the time nobody goes for the objective...someone drops the bomb, cant find it, oh well, no big deal.....hostages? oh ya, forgot they exist!

I think they meant objectives beside a flagpole.

"4.Destroying the wheels of a car is basically the same as destroying the car. But it's still a cool feature."
Except you don't die and still have a functional machinegun.......

One reason that I won't stop playing BF2 for at least another 7 months:
Release date USA: August 14, 2006

Re: 6 reasons to stop playing BF2 once Quake Wars is released

i saw the video for qw before..on pcgame magazine uk)
and to be frank its nothing like quake when it comes to physics (no strafe jumping)
and it appers to be humans(of the bf2 variety) vs invading aliens(of the quakestrogg variety)
so its kinda of a balance between modern vs futureistic battle.

just wonder where the link is to the "so say doom engine for this game"
only ask cus it dosent seem like a doom engine to me.
the human players to so similar to bf2 players hard to tell the differnce(medic reviving made me ask that q's)

i may be wrong cus there aint alot of info on the etqw website,but it look like a enhanced bf2 engine to me.....

plus the game looks awsome and i can see why they chose humans(basacly are finest millitary atm) vs strogg(uber more inteligent in weapons and air)
to give a theme of what it would be like if we were invaded by aleins tomorrow kinda thing..
we fight but get seriously owned.<--maybe

anyways i think the game looks good and the theme is original and a 1st for online gaming...........
plz dont compare games to ut2004 only thing good about that game is voice packs on a lan everything else is boring.

i think this game will surprise even the ppl that dont want to buy it cus of the id label ....all i say is try it then rate it..if u dont like it then fair shout.
does look promising.

p.s easy on the "proff of it being a doom engine /i think its a bf2 engine
it just looks like bf2 in places(gfx+charaters)

Re: 6 reasons to stop playing BF2 once Quake Wars is released

aghh never trust EA they didnt even add a coop (who wants to play 8v8 in single player any way.coop is good for lan games luclky some had the brains to make it (lol at the loading screen when playing coop from distro)

EA(in uk)bring a new fifa game out 2 times a year all thats differnt is the team line up and ppl pay for they goods<--but there not good)

EA no how to con ppl just like everyone else thats how these company make money out of us so easy.

example.............................
the video cards use to edit films and film gfx are probaly 1000x faster than our 7800gt but they no (ati/nvidia) we the consumer will buy the new card cus its faster.....thus making maximum amount of cash....
instead of making one uber fast card and making one profit....

be gratfull were not living in the early 80's and playing pong/spaceinvaders..
man i can remeber paying 40 pound for streetfighter on snes for 24 meg cart..... and thought it was the best game eva hehehe.

but nowdays its looking a whole lot better.....
