Anyone else really not like quake wars

Jono8 · 23 Aug 2007 at 03:20

Got access to the beta a few days ago and i was really looking forward to it...but boy was i dissapointed.

The whole gameplay mechanics felt clunky and disjointed and the graphics were a lot worse than i was expecting.

I mean battlefield 2142 does it all, whilst looking and playing better and generally being more fun...

Anyone else dissapointed or should i give it more time?

I HATE it. I had really high hopes for it but I honestly cannot stand it now I have tried it out.

Yeh me neither. I really don't know how they could have screwed up so bad. :confused:

yup, still feel the same, played more and still can't find anything good.

the very worst thing about it is watching the early vid, it felt like it was going to be, you know, quake/doomy looking, dark, edgey, you know fighting on some apocolypse world where the smoke films the sky and its all about fighting.

but you get in the game and the first map is a nice open terraine, all pretty grass, and that seems to kill all possibility of creating an atmosphere for the game right there. completely ignoring everything they tried to make the game look/feel like in the vids IMHO.

guns feel crappy, inaccurate, like they do no damage at all. the strogg weapons feel boring, not inventive and new, but flashy and useless. the vehicles don't feel fun , the whole game feels laggy, the jumping around + lag making sniping rifles almost completely pointless. just feels like they haven't got any of it right at all. i mean plenty of games have crap maps but really fun weapons, or great maps, not great weapons. or somehow manage to through speed or sillyness have fun games despite all that, but quake wars doesn't seem to hit any high points at all.

Very average imo, just seems to be a game that wil never deliver to the degree people thought.

Jono8 · 23 Aug 2007 at 03:34

Yeh it feels clunky and laggy, maps are sort of sprawling and boring and the visuals and atmosphere are absolute rubbish.

One game i am taking of my list this year.

Seems like abit of a shame. Was looking to be like it was going to be a better battlefield 2 / 2142 type game. How it hath failed me. After looking at the beta and other new footage it just dosent do anything for me.

Well, having been a long time ET player, was very skeptical when I first played, however it has definitely grown on me and I'm a big fan now. Can't wait for the full version

I've just had a go on the demo and oh dear this game is appauling. The vehicles are woeful and the guns suck. There is no creativity at all from what i can see and from all the hype it got :////. TF2 however is amazing

thecremeegg · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:02

I dislike it with a passion as well

Crowze · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:07

It really did nothing for me either. The weapons are pretty dull and unimaginative along with the vehicles, which are further hampered by rubbish physics and handling. It falls into the big wide category of mediocre team-based shooters.

Bring on UT3, I say.

jonorigin · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:12

I hate it as well, does nothing at all for me!

Supercow · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:15

HATE, HATE, HATE

Such a pile of steaming poo, very disappointed in this game.

C'mon UT3 i say (too) !

alexisonfire · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:18

Hate it too, played it for an hour and gave up.

Dyson · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:20

Had it on pre-order, played the demo, now not on pre-order!

misterjingo · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:22

It seemed pretty average to me, nothing truely new or different, so i'll be giving it a miss.

JudgeC · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:24

Played the Beta, thought it was poor.
I would much rather play the original ET any day of the week.

sagramore · 20 Sep 2007 at 15:30

I tried it for a few minutes, and I thought it was okay but definitely nothing like as good as they hyped it up to be.

I was expecting something visually STUNNING with excellent gameplay, but it kinda looks a bit samey to me?

I felt like you did too about the guns, during the beta period. I couldn't hit a single person with either the sniper rifle or railgun.The game ran like a dog on my machine, but the demo fixed all that.

I shoot people dead left right and center with the sniper rifle now while standing and moving around

That tells me there's something wrong with the game balance
