ETQW Public Beta (Free Accounts)

the team play/objectives and game speed imo doesn't work, yes I do know what I'm talking about as it's an opinion.

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.

Technically I cant see why it cant be either - perhaps its a bit fast for you to think how to accomplish the missions or something? I actually prefer it to be fast as it promotes being on the ball and making snap decisions...

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.

Got to agree with that especially the last statement - seriously if BF is that good perhaps stick with it - I just prefer something that isnt as slow or just about playing to gain ranks/unlocks - seems to be a bit of a RPG grind...

Nah I can accomplish the missions I just don't like the style. If there's missions or a team orientated object, then it should be at least planned a little.

if you want a kill fest stick to the original qaukes/ut.

It does?

A little better perhaps but the textures still look appalling. Look at the state of those trees too! Ewww

But thats what I dont understand - very few of the games Ive played have been a kill fest - everyone generally knows their role, ensures all classes are represented and try and use them to the best of their knowledge. Very few times do I change class because we arent doing something right and thats usually when the team Im on is few of noobs who dont know how to play as a team...

I very much doubt that you expecting 60,000 people to have learnt the naunces in a few days and know exactly what they are doing. Its only people from the closed beta that do in reality...

Perhaps give the game a break and give the gameplay a bit of time to mature? Sorry I just honestly think people just assume; oh this is a BF clone therefore everything should work like BF, everyone should know what they are doing and 100% team players :rolleyes:

or perhaps I just don't like the game and the playing style?

It's got nothing to do with being like BF or anything else, I don't like the playing style and the graphics just make it worst, not because I think there rubbish. It's the style of graphics that make it looked vectored and washed out.

Those who like it great, I don't though..

However it is only beta, so I might give it another try when released, but it would need some changes to it.

ps3ud0 · 27 Jun 2007 at 18:55

Well voice your constructive opinion on the beta forums - least then everyone has their say and if nothing comes out of it, as you said its a game not for you, but if they do then perhaps its for the better.

As a matter of fact I need to myself and urge others too - why it is a beta...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Glaucus · 27 Jun 2007 at 18:58

One thing for me is the graphics, as I said it's not that there rubbish I cant get on with that particular style, it reminds my of vietcong. It looks very unnatural and I want to say vector but no idea why.

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.

2142, css, guildwars, travian!

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

Nope I asked Wills one of the developers on IRC, he and a few others aswell as badman confirmed that these ARE the final graphics you will see in the final game with MINOR improvements here and there.

Tried this game a couple of days ago. Man it killed my PC

I await my E6600/8800GTX, then I'll play it

doodah · 28 Jun 2007 at 00:25

I know they tart up trialers, but even with minor improvements this looks NOTHING like the trailers!

dbmzk1 · 28 Jun 2007 at 01:39

People don't half complain about nothing these days!

How can you moan about the graphics? It looks better than 99% of all games in existence, and yet people are still saying the graphics are crap :confused:

If you don't like the games style then fine I can understand that. If your crap and can't drive the vehicles then yea I can understand that too. But to say the graphics are crap... sorry, your blind.

doodah · 28 Jun 2007 at 02:06

Im not saying there bad, look at the screen shots on the official website compared to the one at the top of this page....

Screenshots on official websites are always taken at max everything at the best possible location. Usually with the objects manually placed for best results. Not from someone randomly pressing print-screen while playing. If you look at the screenshots and find a comparable location in the game at the same angle etc you will see that they are indeed very similar.

I've just done a quick comparison shot of the only one on the site that I can see is from the beta map. Note that my PC is running at medium settings, 1280x1024 and 2xAA.

Not a HUGE difference, considering!
