Holy sh*t! (Quake Wars)

Funky Papa

FUNK-Y-PPA-4
It is the main feature of the latest PCZone magazine. I almost feel bad for saying this, but it has enough potential to dethrone BF2 as my favourite squad based FPS. It looks BLOODY GORGEOUS and the action seems downright amazing.

Some quick data:

-Prequel to Q2
-Different environments, including forests.
-It is not black as the devil's arsehole. Take that, Q4.
-Optimum number of players per map: 24-32.
-Every map has his own history and objective. No game modes.
-Fucking Skycranes.
-Unique infiltration, offence, deffence and support classes per side. Not symmetrical.
-Strogg medics can use human flesh to heal their comrades.

Only one major complaint, the Stroggs can use some energy to either power themselves or their weapons, exchanging their own health for ammo and vice versa. I hope this only happens with some kind of basic weapon.

I am basically sold on it.
 
I'm also looking forward to Quake Wars, very much. I'm interested to see this new texture system Carmack has been talking about.

When I first read this I thought, 'WOOHOO!'.. but after thinking about unique classes for each side it will be even more difficult to keep things balanced.

Looks like Q4 to me. Those outside shots still look dark for being OUTSIDE in the daylight. And from the Q4 demo, the character models may even be lower poly at first glance. (NOT saying it looks bad though, Id buy it).
 
Yeah i posted about this earlier. Looks great. Hopefully its a game worthy of buying. Not a fan of the scifi gameplay however.

But thats what makes it better. :D

Not quite. See Battlefront 2. BF2 clones are likely to be just that. Clones. I will still enjoy and buy it if its good anyway.
 
It says it's supposed to run on the same spec machine as Doom 3, which would be amazing if true. But I don't believe it. Not until I see it. This looks really good though.
 
Is there a single player story or just multiplayer online? Can you run bots? I'd love to be able to set up Strogg bots and have my friends and I team up for Co=op against them on some of these levels. Looks hot!

So much for the supposed inferiority of the Doom 3 engine, eh?

Did you not read the article? "We began with the Doom 3 engine, but after all the work that's been put into it, I don't think you can call it the same technology."
 
ENEMY TERRITORY!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY JESSSSSSSUS!

Damn this looks sweet! I'm praying that they port it to the 360. I only want to buy a 360 not a new graphics card. :P

They need to bring back the chat phrases!

I need a Medic!
Need a Medic!
I need a Medic!
Need a Medic!

Fire in the hole!
Disarm the dynamite!
I'm constructing!
You got it, man!
Yeehaa!
The enemy is weakened.
Wunderbar! (No Nazis this time but I want funny Alien chat!)
 
Holy fuck at that forest shot. Alan Wake, Oblivion and BF2 am crying.

Damn, do I wait for this game or pick up BF2:SF?

Can't you console retards/ cheap-asses keep your mouths shut and stop posting "360 pls" trash?

Do I post in every 360 thread spewing "PC port pls"?

Actually - I do!
so you are all forgiven :lol
 
This game looks amazing.

I watched the trailer at work and my coworker just commented that his friend is working on the game. Bastard!

Must read on this megatexture thing.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this. Enemy Territory was awesome.
Hey, do you ever play ET anymore? Does Primer's server still exist? I stopped playing when I upgraded my PC and videocard because it had a problem with PunkBuster (short lag every so often), but I miss playing with you guys.

I would abuse the "Hello/Hallo/Hi" voice chat to death. There was nothing funnier than standing over a non-gibbed person and having a friendly conversation of "Hallo!" back and forth as I knifed them. It was also a nice taunt for when someone stepped on your landmine or got fragged by your grenade. :)

it's still the doom3 engine.
 
Jinx, I play all the time. Shit-storm Extreme server. Custom map rotation. 54 players. No restrictions. There's a great mod presence, and they're fair. Only kick if they observe cheating, and they catch those asshole hackers pretty quickly.
