ETQW Public Beta (Free Accounts)

Rather bored of the beta now, need some more maps. If i got bored of the beta within a week Im starting to wonder if its worth me getting the full game?. The problem with Splash Damage is this game was due out a long time ago. They ****ed around and prelonged it so much that the games engine (Doom 3) now looks absoloutly prehistoric.

They weren't, see above where the dev said they are final bar a few small things.

Or here:

(Respen) Wils, are the textures/graphics in game now pretty much what we should expect in release?
(Wils|work) pretty much, minor improvements aside
 
ive taking this from the beta forums for ET:QW

The devs have already publicly stated that the graphics currently in the beta ARE NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. They left out the high quality textures from the beta to keep the download small. The game will look a lot better upon release.


I think this is true, from your quote Gerad i think it means the closed beta although i cant be sure of that, again im assuming that the open beta was a smaller file becasue the gfx were bumped down.

EDIT: also saw this command in the same post, meant to improve gfx slightly

Id have to say theyre talking about the public beta, also people never complained about the graphics till the publicbeta hit and that quote from irc happened a few days ago, makes no sense he'd be talking about a closed beta.
 
There arn't many engines that are better than the Doom3 Engine. Quake4 still looks **** hot.

No computer at the moment to test but I don't like people bad mouthing this game because I really want it to be what BF2142 was not.
 
Ive just been playing and ive already come across a bloody aimbotter,i dont know how long exactly this beta has been out for but i aint been playing it a week yet and already found some gimp standing half across the map taking people down left right and center with one shot of a railgun and then mowing people down with a lacarater (sp) in the end people on his side kicked him from the server so watch out for a guy called ncrs.
This ****er has really annoyed me tbh, the reason i stopped playing ET was coz of all the cheating going on, i just hope this game dont go as bad for cheating as ET did.


Thought is bleeped it for u :S

Gfx terrible, game play okish. worth but not unless they make some drastic changes.

its trys to have fast game play like quake, but with missions and teams like bf2. It just doesn't work. you need one or the other.

And if those are the final graphics there shocking C&C renegade looks better.

What missons are you talking about in BF2 all it is CTF, which in other words is just a frag fest, surely you mean missions like in ET :confused:

yeh in ET, the game play is a flag fest. However they've gone and stuck mission and team major team play in it. I can't be both. either it's fast killing like quake. or it's slow team based missions.

What games do you play ? If you don't mind my asking.

I have seen a lot of people complaining that BF2/142 is a better game and that the pace is too fast which I completly disagree with. I have rather taken to the BETA and played 10 hours in 3 days. Coming from someone who has never played anything properly since MOHAA and always hated the BF series. I find this a perfect balance inbetween.

Sorry to be rude but..do u have any idea what your talking about :confused:

The teams (fireteams) have been in from the start of rtcw and ET , as have the objectives.... This is what makes ET .. the objectives and teamplay

EA / BF have heavely borrowed from ET for the 2142 , they slimmed the classes down to 4, introduced the squad/fireteam and a new game type...objective.
All be it the same objective every round zzzZZZZ

ETQW is ET but set in the future and vehicles, game type is the same as is the pace.
