overall yes the game is fun and has depth. rtcw/et combat is much more close quarters where as etqw is over a much larger scale/open spaces. vehicles are present but arent a bad addition as the whole thing is pretty nicely balanced. if you liked rtcw:et you should like this.

the only real bad aspect is that its still running on the fixed-tic logic of the idtech 4 engine running at 30Hz. they've 'unlocked' the graphical framerate by allowing it to interpolate the data between tics, so you can have 120 fps for example, but there will only be 30 true frames and the others will be predicted, which makes it a little jerky at times.

basically they seem to have decided that it's a better compromise to sacrafice smoothness in order to have comletely equal physics for all players.

however i'm of the opinion that its better to sacrafice equal physics for smoothness, and is less of a sacrafice from a players persepctive. but i guess this is what happens when the developers are programmers and not players and think 30Hz is a fast rate.

i think i'll stop myself there before this turns into a rant...

.. four sentences too late there ;)

are there many playing online?

cod4

yeah everyone who played cod2 and has good enough pc seems to have switched to cod4, never seen such thing b4

Is it upto RTCW/Q3 standards??

No.

I liked ET for the fast infantry based combat, and the dynamic teamplay that having medics and the like creates, all of which is pretty much missing from QW:ET. If you played medic in ET, you wont like it, if you played fieldop you probably will like it...

ah you hid the rabbit then :P

It's crap.

i think so

stick to q3/et

ET:QW is different but I like it - much more varied gaemplay with the asymetric classes ... g'wan ye will father ... g'wan

yepp, like it or not vehicles give more of a war feeling all-around

also weapons in W:ET felt like pea shooters, in ET:QW they are deadlier and feel more solid

etqw is Battlefield clone and it sucks. it only has theme from QUAKE universe as well as weapon models and stroggs. overall gameplay and boringness is gay as battlefields. dont buy it.

i would suggest you buy CoD4 / TF2 / Q4 instead of et:qw

i would suggest you buy Q4 instead of et:qw

oh man... rotfl

.... or cod4 or tf2.

I bought it yesterday and i'm going to give it a try. I was playing demo and it was nice for me, same as BF2142 demo.

try the demo

Awesome, apart from its unplayable because the engine can't handle outdoor environments and infantry combat is a lagfest.
