ET:QW f1rst impression

Today I got my ET:QW key and I couldnt finaly play the game myself after spending hundreds of hours wanking watching gameplay movies and trailers.. For the past few weeks I have been making myself look like a retard by defending a game I haven't even played yet, but for the past few hours I have walked, drived, and flown over the sewer land presented in the ET:QW open beta, and I have to say I really like it!

Good aspects:
- After having played it for an hour or two you start doing objectives which is very much fun
- The gameplay is a lot like W:ET espessially inside the sewers
- I like the powerfull sniping
- After tuning down the graphics my old PC could run it with 30 FPS at a lot of stages
- Little ammount of major bugs for a beta
- The inbuild buddy system is cool

Negative aspects:
- The netcode could use some work
- Almost all the servers were full tonight :[
- Not everyone was doing objectives, but this will improve once people understand the game better
- Riflenade is an XP upgrade and not possible in the default loadoad when XP is disabled

Overall I'm very happy that what I've been defending over the past few weeks is totally worth it.

The powerful sniping is ruined by the extremely ugly crosshair. :(
The netcode could use some work

who cares about the netcode? its only an online fps
ET:QW LANs are teh future!
Parent
Yes, thats the reason why they release a beta after 4 years of work with perfect graphics, sound, gameplay but oops we fucked up the netcode. If D3 / ET wasnt good enough of an example.

It pisses me off. I was so glad when I joined up some random ET pub and could aim at the model again.

Omfg, these topics has to end ._.
good:
- movement not too slow
- classes similar to ET
- objectives, although i dont really understand them yet :p
- "overall feeling", with a better pc this game will be a lot of fun!

bad:
- servlist buggy (?), servers full
- aim feels strange, maybe u have to get used to it
- vehicles suck imho ... should be reduced or even removed :(
- enemies are" lagging" through the map
- I hit nothing and play like the worst noob ever! :D
There is indeed a routing issue which sometimes cause server IP's to lead to the wrong server or something.. will be fixed in a patch this week
