The QCon ET really impressed me as a spectator experience, tosspot running out of octaves and the sheer intensity of the game. I don't like nor play ET but see its potential as a castable game. It revolves around objectives that people can easily understand and the theme is great, hopefully (although following their recent TeamArena/D3/Q4 track record my hopes are low) ETQW can achieve big things as a pro team game. My only reservation is the theme, I have no idea why ID think Stroggs is a cool theme, I don't give a damn about futuristic aliens and people trying to kill weird giant green machines with stupid names.

The success of ET, BF and CS is not just about well designed teamplay games, people also like 'real' or near real settings, I think Stroggs are a bit far from that, I don't have a corny Strogg accent to crack I need ammo jokes with. =/
