Parent

Parent
why on earth have they choosen 8v8... that is very stupid IMO
totally agree
Parent
maybe cause the game is supposed to be played 8vs8 like battlefield ?
Parent
In some interview someone told, that the game is intended for 6v6 :/
Parent
Depends on which community the interviews aimed at :p
Parent
I think it was aimed towards the ET community :x
Parent
6o6 is already much and sometimes hard to do tactics
but 8o8 ingame leading must be nearly impossible i imagine :<
Parent
Nah, because the tournament hosts are BF.
Parent
Except that it isn't.
Parent
QuoteClans are required to have at least 8 players (...). However the cup format is not yet confirmed.


Doesn't it say that the mode is not yet confirmed? Maybe you should just show them 8 players to prevent dropouts. Where does it say that it won't be played in 6on6? Or did I misread something?
Parent
Been edited since.
Parent
indeed, why the fuck 8vs8? game plays great 6vs6 or 5vs5 without tanks/helis
Parent
QW SUCKS. 1st time i say this :<
Have you played it ?
Parent
maybe he means quakeworld :P
Parent
Maybe he does :P
Parent
maybe not.
Parent
But if you don't like it then give me your key pretty please. Can give my cod2 key to you :P
Parent
8on8 :XXXXXXXXXXX
#team-beta looking for highskilled qw players
msg me (only ppl i know from good clans are allowed h3h3)
Going to try and get this pushed to 6v6 maximum. Stay tuned.
Haha, 8v8 sounds like Battlefield. Dont think I'm gonna waste my time & money on this one.
Just because one unofficial cup decides to use 8on8 format?
Parent
8v8? The game is more than fine 6v6. I don't see any reason they needed to do 8s.

It looks like the rest of the Quake Wars world is going with 6v6.
5on5 is the future
5o5 or 6o6 imo
hahha 8vs8

they wanna "bf2" the game alrdy
So why can't we play 6on6?
You can, just become a GSP & host your own.
Parent
Not with the beta, you cant run your own servers (yet)
Parent
I mean we can play 6v6 if we want! Revolution before we even started, hurray.
(ps uk<21 = sux!)
Parent

The cup is not confirmed as 8v8. The format and rules are not yet decided or confirmed.

you killing ET by hosting this cup + you started to kill qw after 1day.
Parent
Don't be so retarded. As there's nothing decided yet he can't possible kill a game.

Besides, it's only a small cup with the beta...
Parent
Then why would you need 8 players?

As former bf-player I have played alot of QW and can say that there is only one plausible format. 6v6.
Parent
need a team :d
NEED KEY AND TEAM PMME PLEASE I'M VERY GOOD! =)
need a team too :)
ET is dead
yea lets go all to emo mode now "ooooh ET is dead god help us".
pffff.
Parent
take it easy
Parent
Is it just me or does QW seem very, very similar to Battlefield? I know people have been saying this for months, but the gameplay videos and such seem to prove it.
have you played both? I know for one that there is a huge ammount of BF players crying at the ET community forums right now to slow down the game because its way to fast for them.
Parent
Have played ET, BF1942 and BF2, and I'm judging QW from (like I said) the gameplay videos. Definately, it's not as good as playing it, but everything seems like BF2 with new content. Guess I'll have to wait till the beta, but I think I'll stick to ET.
Parent
Need Beta team for this lolz!
imo put a random et hack in your qw folder and see what happens:D:D:dd
fuck battlefield
ET:QW is OUR game! :<
so bani has a week the time to create qwtv ? :>
it's already in there :)
Parent
6v6 limited vehicles are the way to go!!!
