etqw vs. cod

by pumu • 14 Oct 2007, 02:45 • Journals
havent played etqw since the demo in september
tested the fullversion now, it still feels laggy and unsmooth
played a lot cod2 over the last week, that game is totally smooth
and cod4 demo is much smoother than etqw fullversion

what do u think? (gn8)

you were on that british CoD2 vent that everyone mixes on the other day!

oh, and I played the ut3 demo... never been so disapointed with epic. They pulled the same shit Q4 did, and much worse!

To quote myself:

QuoteGreat, another console shooter. Just played it for a few hours online. Even though it's a beta (which explains the crap menus, the poor pings, the lags) it's clear that it really is aimed for the console player.

There is no fancy movement. No strafejumping, no dodgejumping, no circlejumping. Nothing. Though the graphics are breathtaking, even at medium settings, it all feels very clustered and small (especially the japanese dm level). The link-gun feels pretty good. Just like the lightning gun from quake. The rocket-rework is pretty good. Faster rockets was a nice addition, but if there is no fancy footwork, the rocket kinda feels out of place. The delay on the flak secondary is deadly.

All in all, it needs a miracle.



QuoteWhat I don't like:
-Delay on flak ball
-The slow movement on getting from one place to another
-The accuracy of the minigun
-The crowdedness of the maps (I loved ut2004 for the more open maps)
-The dodge being a lame-ass tiny bit of a jump
-The game is quite unstable atm, but thats a beta issue I guess
-No rocket jump (but the hammerjump is ok I guess)
-The MENU! I MEAN WHAT?
-Fov capped at 100, what?
-Initial fps cap of 60? Why do the same shit that almost killed Quake?
-Weaponswitch takes a second or more?

Some of them issues are just completely subjective. I love the art style and the menu system is pretty easy to understand, so it's not an issue for me.

Heat Ray is a pretty shit map I'll agree, I can see what the designer was trying to do, but it just didn't work. The other though, was utter bliss, literally one of the best maps I've ever played on any game, ranks up there with Phrantic for me. The only section of the map which felt crowded to me was near the hyper blaster.

I mean you can get nearly every weapon from two different places, and you can intentional avoid people without too much trouble.

Unreal tournament in my opinion has never been big on movement, at least not in comparison to Quake, at least fluent coherent movement [I hope you get what I'm implying].

Criticizing technical issues seems a tad over critical, I mean when the game is released, you can tweak away and sort your config out, this is just giving people a taster.

For me, the only 'major' issues, I would like the pistol rate of fire made a tad faster, can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

haha yea man, i hardly play cod2 there though, just talk with the guys there all cool, and play kart rider or other random games!

i dno about ut3.. i see what your saying in general... the menu system and general setup sucks... but its definately better than the 2 previous games in terms of speed... i dont find myself getting bored this time after 3 minutes in a 1v1... even on those big maps... so it has potencial and i just hope they drop the login system and theres a competition mod like cpma (i dont know how it worked in 2k4 as i never played it)

CoD 4 runs smooth on my mom her pc. The pc doesnt have the minimum requirements, but still runs smooth... I'm gonna buy CoD 4 anyway.. :)

gerstensaft 14 Oct 2007, 04:43
i like ut3 <3
cod4 don't know without a mp demo or something
et:qw still needs some time and patches

hannes-` 14 Oct 2007, 05:02
qw @ 180 to 210 fps = et @ 125 fps stable

really really smooth!

wasn't pumu like the most willing for etqw ?

From what we have seen, COD4 is waaay better than ET:QW. Pretty much any ET player will realize that.

hannes-` 14 Oct 2007, 07:08
nop, sry cant realize that

nvc 14 Oct 2007, 12:34
nothing like ET, so much spread unscoped/zoomed

only similarity is that you can strafe jump, as in all cods except only once... and theirs no drivable vehicles... yet

yeah, he was like a plague, everywhere, everytime and then suddenly gone. new epidemia called cod4 might have the same effect, will it be longer, will it be shorter, no1 knows.

CoD4 is like CoD2 in a new theme, with tons of new crappy features. I'm sure it will do great once they strip out all the crap, but the same is valid for ET:QW.

Oh btw CoD2 runs on a modified quake 3 engine game, just like CoD4 does

q3 >>>> d3 when it comes to smoothness ^^

Well Doom 3 smoothness during multiplayer sucked because of per pixel hit detection, Quake 4 smoothness and ET:QW smoothness has improved much compared to doom 3

Downloading atm, is it possible to use most of the settings from my cod2 config?

as far it goes with game engines, Infinity Wards proprietary engine owns iDtech4 on both performance and gfx 8)

smokey151 14 Oct 2007, 11:25
i think its fucked that etqw has about the same graphics as cod4 but that it runs a lot worse on the same hardware
▼
Sainted 14 Oct 2007, 11:46
because the game is very different, CoD4 doesn't play in huge outdoor environments while ET:QW does

toxicccc 14 Oct 2007, 12:40
all this game comparison is bs, how can u say which game is better if they have a totally different gameplay. QW is stopwatch and cod4 will be SnD. Its impossible to say which game is better because majority of games are different... and everyone will always have a biased decision due to previous games played.

At the end of the day its just down to preference. I personally didnt like et;qw at all, didnt feel right even tho its similar [tried to be similar] to ET. On the other hand I was always a fan of the CoD series so if i have the time ill be playing CoD4.

What one is forgetting is time... no one is getting any younger so time to play is getting very limited. I for one, am having problems finding the time to play as with school/work/life its impossible, and gaming is the least important thing [unless your job is gaming] so it ends up suffering. Majority of the community is studying, college/university whatever, when u end your studies, u'll barely have time to play as u need to get on your feet with a new place, new work environment, new neighborhood etc etc.

I kinda went off topic here but w/e :D

Good Day

You can say that for pretty much anything, but that doesn't mean you can't make any judgment at all.
