QuoteUnranked Server Support

Beta 2 will include everything you need to put up your own unranked ETQW multiplayer server. There's been a lot of demand for this and we're eager to get the server out there for you to test and play around with. It's worth noting that the unranked server code offers a wide variety of tweakable options; for example, you'll be able to turn ETQW into a fast and frantic game, or a slower, more tactical experience, depending on your preference.


THANK GOD!!!!! I have been holding back writing a very short and whiney column about how Rackage and i3d have turned a game that on that private builds is much smoother than it is on the public builds hosted on AWFUL servers. Rackage and i3d had the perfect chance for big advertising here, but all they've done is ensure people who played the beta never buy their servers.
Finally some Crossfire ET:QW public servers! :D

Cant wait :) Or can I : o !?!

Well it will be fun to have better servers, thats for sure + fixes - but would rather have a small map :x
wait a sec, i thought this shit will be out by quakecon, and they still havent relesed even 2nd beta?
So they'll play beta on qcon? pfff
they're playing closed beta at Qcon afaik
Parent
they will play QW build 14 qcon
Parent
imo they shouldnt waste time to this crap.
better make new patch to ET
what do u want for ET?
ET is finished (+dead)
Parent
New full 2.60b installer so that anyone trying the game on an etpro server is not greeted with the uber friendly "Incorrect ET version" message.

ETPro 3.2.6 killed ET. Guess the ETPro team (& Activison & ID) forgot that people trying the game don't want to flick around with patches and exes from a zip. ETPub & Jaymod that don't have this 2.60b dependancy still have plenty of players.
Parent
u are so right <3
Parent
I was very disappointed in the first beta, im gonna touch this game again when the beta 2 will be released. Finally!! ^^
Hope the performance improvement is at least 500%.
considering the fact, every et team has a cheater, im waiting for qw and new pc.
and netCoders support

- Improved Prediction and Player Physics <333
this game rox!
I was very disappointed in the first beta. Beta 2 has to improve a lot to make me buy this game.
- Improved Audio ?
Parent
What is the exact date of Quakecon again?
1-5.08.2007 ?
Parent
i couldnt care less
enemy teritory !!! Still pownz =[
Good news. It is worth to release a 2nd beta before the game, sd got my point there, but dont create false hopes with it since it is just that; a Beta.
indeed. but it's great to see that they changed many of the things the community complained about.
Parent
the physics, movement & shooting still feel like shit compared to ET. If RTCW2 is gonna be based on the same game engine we're in for a bad sequel.
ETQW is game where you need skills!! ET on the otherhand is game where players with good isp/good bot/no hitboxes are skilled.
Parent
lol funniest quote ever
Parent
Someone has been spamming a nC bot for ETQW on IRC already the other day. Bogus? No idea. Not going to try the trojan out.
Parent
No Improved Fps No game
