Anyone using an ATi card will need to install ATi Driver Update 7.9
1st!
first beta sucked so hard
ps: dont flame ETQW, they will say you only dislike it because it is different from ET.
You should play it instead of whining about it. :)
I hope there are not too many players from the et community changing because there are mostly retards.
but I have to admit that most old men from bf2 are even more retarded in their own way :D

but still. valley = shit. hopefully it won't scare all potential buyers off :( there are better maps that comes with retail!
i like that argument. thats what they kept saying about Q4.
there are better maps, more suited maps for competitive play and i know that for a fact. just sad that the devs let the competitive scene down by not using one of those instead of valley.
valley needs restrictions even on public to become a decent map. that will come in time, i'm sure. just not while it's still only a demo.
Maybe it's because the engine used is an abomination :c
Bad point :)

As for me - I fucking love this game! <3
You can add this one to mirrors also. :X
if someobody downloads it from this one, please report some speeds
any point even to try? :/
2.4 intel p.; geforce 6600; 1gb of ram
and i get shit fps even at lowest
Not sure about your mouse problem though.
But imo when u make an fps game, smoothness on medium spec pcs should be an absolute priority. Or atleast make sure that evrything runs smooth with certain settings, cuz in the end most players that play the game seriously dont rly care how mind boggling things look.
I run on an AMD dual core with 2gb of ram and an 8800GTS and it doesn't even run perfectly. I need to get myself an Intel core2duo and some new memory.
I played the beta and didn't like it mainly because of the jumping in a 1v1 like CS:S I hate that shit so annoying, if you do that in ET your dead.
To continue your statement about Q3, do you have any better 1vs1 game than Q3 in your mind? FEAR 1vs1?
popular=good?
GTFO, seriously
I'd rather played game that noone cares about than pieces of shit like BF2 (which is popular).
I am not saying QW is a bad game, it's a great public game, I myself enjoyed playing it. But competitive? Duckroll.
Also you are wondering why people call it piece of shit on a website that has been build up on RTCW/ET? Well because it is a piece of shit compared to these games.
What we (people who love RTCW gameplay) have in future? At first QW was a great opportunity...but as we can see now, it failed to deliver. Ofc some people (will) love it, some (will) like it, but in a core it has nothing to do with ET/RTCW. Dont be suprised by dissapointed players.
So whats left after QW for the RTCW gameplay crowd? RTCW2? Will see, but I have big doubts....as gaming now is developing in a direction of pubgames...some, like you will love it, some wont, woohoo
I'll wait and see what happens on mod development front, maybe something good will come out.
Pretty playeble on XP1700@1800mhz, 1.2gb ram, and 6600GT (stock).
I had fps drops even below 15 I think, but it was playeble on a public level without a problem.
(1024x768/all settings on lowest in hud/no cfg tweaking)
*4 stages (most maps got 3)
*Biiiiig map (most are much smaller)
*MCP Stage
Not for everyone!
a) finds mass appeal and
b) is actually good
[e.g. a good engine with good performance, good netcode (something that seems to get worse with every new generation of games), a well thought out game concept by people that actually know what they're doing]
OSP is vq3. Just like in RtCW all OSP did was adding features that made the game better useable in competitions (stats, brightskins, ...).
There was no CPMa? There was no Urban Terror, no Q3F, no Threewave, etc. when Q3 was released. There was no warsow when Q2 was released!
I doubt the game won't change too much. You've interviewed one of them! What did he say? 'We're making the game we want to play' (paraphrased). And didn't he say that the final game won't be changed (too much)? Only bugfixes, etc.?
And what is a mod supposed to change, when two different worlds (game communities) collide and both want to move the game in different directions? Look how long it took ET to be what it is today.
And the biggest flaw about ET:QW is that it is a multiplayer-only-game build on an engine designed for a single-player-game. You just can't change that. It simply doesn't feel as clean as f.e. the q3-engine. And it never will. (just like q4 will always fell 'clumsy')
ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GL_ARB_fragment_program GL_ARB_shader_objects GL_ARB_vertex_shader GL_ARB_fragment_shader

The game is terrible for anyone who doesnt like bf2...
Even more, the sad part is, it's not only me thinking this, today i read the comments on local latvian torrent tracker where this demo is being distributed, and even the casual gamers who usually play games for fun and with gfx to highest thought its quite a shitty game and reminds them too much of bf2 :(
Face it, most ET:QW players dont even like the game, they see perspective in it(big tournaments/prize money), and that's mostly the reason they play it for.
In other words, this is the Painkiller of team games...
Yet I really like playing ET:QW..
And what you are saying is just.. wrong. There are thousands of happy casual players from games like Battlefield, W:ET and other scenes.
Call me a nazi or whatever, but you probably noticed that the biggest whiners (omg bljat gavno, parodie na BF2142 tolko huze raza v 4, etc, etc)there are russian speaking ones. Most latvian speaking are appreciating the game and actually having fun with it :)

True.
somthing with my firewall
uninstalled it

-Its a beta, final product will be totaly different and 10 times better
-Its different and new. You just hate it because its not ET.
-Noobgames are goodgames.
Can you accept the fact that ETQW just suck donkey balls? Tbh, i play other games and some actually interest me. I remember civ4 and oblvion to be awesome games, but somehow most new games just ... suck? I played beta over a week, I forced myself to watch three / four Quakecon games. I'm sorry I didnt like it.
I dont mind commercial companies making games that appeal to a big as possible audience. Just dont try to convince serious gamers that the game roxors. I you dont like it it must be you who is too elitist to enjoy the game, just like Mozart won't like Britney. We care about fast / solid gameplay and a smooth engine (30fps animations - 60 fps inputs ... even carmack called it a horror). If you make a game for noobs dont try to sell it to an ESR, xfire community as we dont give a flying fuck about fancy graphics and slow gameplay.
And feck off with using the same arguements over and over again. Get over it. Any serious gamer will say the game is ok but nothing special. Yeah yeah. Its a beta. I only hate it because its different from ET. I have played to much good (read old) games to be able to enjoy ETQW.
Ofc you defend the piece of shit that ETQW is. You work for Giga. Just like xfire.be you have all the reasons to say the game is teh pwn.
In my opinion games that are perfectly balanced and tweaked for professional gaming are fun to play, still anyone doesn't pick CPMA CPM or ET to their world tours.
------------------------
And my personal opinion about ET:QW:
First I thought that ET:QW is not suitable for professinal gaming becouse it contains too many random variables and big spam guns. One doesn't need to be a veteran to drive the cyclop somewhere and spam around the map and get lot's of kills.
I started to hate the game after I got beaten by some guys who just drove tanks, APC's, Tornmentors or w/e to my teams spawn and I noticed that skills one needs in ET doesn't mean anything in ET:QW.
Still I don't say that the game will suck for ages, there's always some developement and it might go to better way. I just don't feel like this would be the game I like.
Always gonna get some bitter kid whining because he hates the game and doesnt want everyone to move on without him.. oh well. It does fucking wreak of BF though, meh.
Don't think i've spoke to you in about, 3 years?
played it about 15min and then uninstalled
