Quake Wars: Public Beta Next Week

That's good. I love the game, it just doesn't look anywhere near as good as the screenshots. It might be partly because AA is bugged and I'm forced to play with it off. Also, are soft particles functional in the beta? My PC can't handle them now but I'm upgrading next month, it would be cool to see them.
 
Yah the graphics of this game are oddly bad given that we are in 2007. They remind me of BF2 graphics maybe even a little worse.
 
Looks like some ATI drivers just came out today. Hopefully that will fix it.
 
I rather like it, but I dunno if it's worth 50 dollars to me. Perhaps they'll have a more polished demo later before or just after release that will be more decisive for me.

In the meantime, I enjoy playing it. I've grown rather fond of oppressor and constructor classes. They seem to have the most team contribution overall as well, at least until you get to the indoors section of the beta map. I mean, setting up one AVT can easily shut down the main GDF exit from tanks. Tossing a violator beacon just before you die is awesome, as well.

I rather dislike playing GDF however. They just feel too stale for me. I have high hopes for the game in a more serious environment than crazy-beta-public-server mode.
 
From the time I've spent so far I'm incredibly disappointed. It doesn't live up to the ET pedigree at all. Quite a shame. The sounds are way off. It looks like Doom 3, which is not really a compliment these days when looking at the competition. And that megatexture still sucks horribly.
 
The best thing about the vehicles is to use the ATV and mow down the Strogg. Stupid but oh so fun.
 
So much potential, can''t wait for first beta patch to see what feedback they took from their forums!

I saw Cyberpitz posting on their too, forum whore, lol. :D

Haha, yeah. I like to try to make games just that much better. :D

And yes, I AM a forum whore ;)
 
Yeah I got on the Beta. :D Was a subscriber so got it on the first day.

I like it, it's good for a beta but still far from being retail quality. Like I've said: lots of potential!
 
I really have to stop standing on hilltops and calling in artillery! Though I've taken a shine to repairing things recently.
 
I officially uninstalled this last night, if anyone wants my key I'll gladly give it to them. Just PM me for it. I won't be able to respond til I get home though since I don't have the key at work anywhere.
 
i cant seem to download the client
i got my key, but everytime I select a download server on fileplanet, it says HTTP 403 Forbidden.
Anywhere else to download it.
 
Um, is anyone else getting an empty server list?
 
you can download it, but you can't play, can you *of course without a key*
 
Key or account, the key is tied to your account rather than the install which imo is a better way of handling things. I'll volunteer mine if you want it.
 
Ok guys, Quake Wars Ops have gotten our hands on 10 beta keys (thanks to splash damage). we will be announcing it this weekend so keep an eye on the site if you want a chance to win a beta key.

Cheers
 
Be sure to announce it on QW's official forums. Some peeps on there still want keys.
 
I played again and it's just horrible. Many of the times you are killed from the Artillery or those mechs without knowing where exactly they are. Same goes for the regular fighting.
The combat sucks, gunplay is meh and in the bottom line it's just isn't fun, only frustrating.

Is it me or there is no "last weapon used" button? the gun switching is bad.
The idea of ammo dispensing is bad. The map is too big for that, it adds nothing but an obstacle of having any fun.

Doesn't the developer play the game it makes? How can they find the game any good?

Quake Wars might very be the flop of this year.
 
I am wholly unimpressed and disappointed in this game. Won't be buying it.
 
Guys you need to remember its a beta and they are using it to get feedback and to improve the game before release.
 
Quake-Wars-Ops.com has 10 beta keys for Enemy Territory Quake Wars to give away thanks to Splash Damage.

So for any of you who weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on a key from fileplanet, this is your chance to get a ET:QW beta key and to try the game out for yourself. To be eligible to win a key you have to be a member of Quake-Wars-Ops.com and have at least 5 forum posts (spam posts don’t count). The winners will be chosen at random and announced on Saturday the 7th of July.

If your not a member already you can register HERE

Good luck everyone.
 
Hope so!

Most people are treating it as a DM instead of a team-game though

=/

There's not much they can do to improve the core gameplay that doesn't require a fairly significant redesign of the game itself.
 
Only 2 days left before we announce the winners of the beta keys giveaway.
