If anyone thought that ET:Quakewars might slip off the radar or not fill its beta spots, they were well and truly shot down tonight as the ET:Quakewars Open beta began with 3000 user bang. That is to say, 3000 beta keys were registered within the first five minutes of the open beta going live!
3 hours later and more than 15,000 more people had crushed fileplanet in their attempt to get their hands on a precious ET:Quakewars Key. Fileplanet, one of the web's leading download sites was pummeled by anxious gamers and eventually brought down to its knees, buckeling under the pressure before resurfacing.
Anxious players filled the game to its capacity. The initial 3048 server slots available to the public filled quickly, and the European servers were left full instantly with slots spare only across the pond in America and Australia.
Here on Crossfire, the day of the release of the beta slots has seen a little under 200 new Journals of varying opinion on the game, and those united in their complaint about the hit detection will rejoice in the news that SplashDamage have publically stated there will be a patch for the open beta in the week.
In addition, the ET:Quakewars Forum section is open you can put threads in it rather than journals should you chose, Here

I find myself in a lot of situations facing some giant megatank or dreadnought thingie or whatever where of course I have nothing to do but try and hide.
Last night I was on a pub where people didn't really use the vehicles, the game was pretty cool then :)
ACK! There's been some sort of error with the contest or poll that you tried to submit.
An admin has been notified and someone will be looking into this shortly.
