I saw this posted on the Splashdamage forum (offical forum for ETQW) it lasted about 20 seconds before getting deleted but I saw it just in time.

It's obvious that the screenshots were taken early beta, a few graphical bugs and low res textures, so don't judge the game on these but they're still pretty cool to look at.

wow great find ...kinda makes me regret passing on a beta spot ;(


the maps look huge ..looks like much more time will be spent getting to the objective points than in the original game ..but mobile spawn points should help

also the maps look somewhat barren
 
From the screenshots the maps do look barren but really well designed too, I can see some good fights on them once they have more stuff in 'em.
 
ya barren wont matter much if the gameplay is tweaked to adjust to that sort of thing ..it's just that sneaking about wont be all that effective in large open maps
 
Holy crap but those look ace!! Good thing my rig will be nice and updated by the time this drops!!! :)
 
The screenshots on the pre-order box at the store make these look like DX8. Either the box has some great screenshots, this is a really early build, or whoever was taking those shots had the graphics turned down. It might just be poor quality images too. JPEG's look horrible compared to the TGA or PNG format images.

I think it's a combination of these things.
 
You can defiantly tell the texture resolution is low on those screenshots, maybe it was unoptimized, so they ran low settings to compensate for a while?
 
Wow, game looks like it's going to be awesome. I really can't wait for this to come out to spark open my gaming scene again.
 
It barely looks better than BF2, but I bet it'll run 10x worse. And I'm talking about the higher-res screens.
 
They've defiantly toned down the graphics!

For example:

Compare the above to the latest screenshots... where has all the lighting effects gone and the high res textures?

They said System Reqs. will be around what they were for Q4. Q4's demo runs smooth as silk on my mid-range comp maxed out so I think I'm set.

I think it looks a lot better than BF2.

We'll see....I rank BF2 up there with the greatest graphics. I mean, going around on Wake Island, and seeing the water, and the island..oh man, it's breath taking.

This game better live up to my hype, or I'm going to be PISSED.
 
The graphics look fine, they're the last thing on my mind with a game like this.

I just hope that it's as fun and team-oriented as Wolf ET.

Exactly. If the game looks exactly like Q4 but with lush maps (like we're seeing in screens) and runs the same as Q4 and is more team-oriented than Wolf:ET, then I'll be more than happy.

It's looking like that could come true judging from impressions, screens, and info from interviews.
 
Thanks for the link :)

If only I would've gotten into the clan beta :P Hopefully there'll be another public beta opportunity soon.
 
Fileplanet are doing a beta for subscribers, this week I believe, from the recent media progress on their site and confirmed to be April by Gamespy. :)
 
Pretty damn cool, I'm still spinning over the fact that this is the Doom3 engine, very nicely done.

Hurray so I can run this!!

Where did they confirm that they get the beta in April?
 
How does the gameplay in this differ from a standard FPS? It sounds like there's no single-player campaign, correct?

There probably won't be any SP.

And it differs from the "standard" fps in that it relies heavily on team work to complete each objective on a map.
And each class caters to a specific purpose in completing an objective or defending them.

It's pretty much Wolf ET with the Quake universe slapped on.

I'm sure you must've played Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory? (look in downloads)

Agreed, i'm skeptical of the visuals/performance balance with all new games now, as optimisation is forsaken more and more often. Laziness is one thing but passing the buck to user hardware is just patronising. Unless a demo is released that runs and looks as slick as BF2, i'll give it a miss.
