Quake Wars beta release imminent on FilePlanet - Page 9

[R-DEV]Spearhead · 06-24-2007, 10:32 AM

Got my key played about 1 hour total now and I need to say that if you like PR you will probably not get the hang of QW:ET it is paced faster than BF2 or CS. You need quite a few bullets to kill someone. Vehicles control like the ones they implemented in Counter-Strike (Stuttery and without any dampening). Player movement is so fast that artillery or sniping does not really pay off.

It is not that I miss realism but I do not like how the game feels like. Tribes 2 did have a much more solid feeling to it. Most weapons were making sense and fellt like they fitted in well. In QW:ET I feel like much equipment does not give you much incentive for using it. I am just scratching the surface here but I do not want to rant too much about the open beta. It's just not my cup of tea. Maybe I can spare some guys the let down when they make similar discoveries.

To say something nice in the end: I like the multi-staged objective game mode. It's a very nice idea which would also fit into BF2 and do very well here. Regarding game modes BF2 has been not very creative and one of the best new things (IMHO) in 0.6 is the insurgency which is very much fun to play and offers many new tactics to play around with.

The game feels a lot like Quake 3/Unreal Tournament (the original). Strafing around at super-high speeds and worst of all it's stuttery as hell (players models warping at 60 ping

). Like Spearhead said, there's no dampening on the vehicles, so it's jerky and appears to work at the rate of your ping (it's 100% server side). Mostly it's just a bad 2142, the deployables work for single people using the field ops and the engineer deployables are useless. i had some fun for an hour but it's definitely not a team game.

It is 100% objective based though, so that was cool.

The more I watch the videos the more I think it looks like BF2142. I was really excited when that first came out, it looked like it'd have a lot of great team-play action.

In reality it has none at all. Everyone is a lone wolf looking to stat-pad and most weapons are almost entirely useless against the enemy. Easily takes 8-15 rounds to kill people.

I got my key and I'm downloading it now (off a torrent, heh). I seriously hope that it won't suck. I'm not looking for another PR, but rather for something comparable to the old Wolf: ET, which I considered a quite fun game. I trust that Splash Damage isn't as dumb as DICE, so hopefully they'll do this more or less right.

Oh, and they pretty much said this is a beta. They are planning to release a demo as well, once the game is done.
