If there is the best time to release the game (before christmas) - there must be the worst time too. It's not new some people spend less time playing games during summer, some of them even don't play games at all. Of course there are people who play more in july for example, because they have a lot of free time, but they usually don't care if it's july, december or may, so publishers don't really care about them too :P
If I were to place a bet on who'd be the guy who found the news first, I think my money would have been on you jeje :D Good find! v57 baby! (btw I tidied up your post a bit)
buy a new graphics card, I bought an Radeon HD 3850 AGP, realy gave my PC more power in games.
Was able to play Doom3 and Quake4 with 60 fps on med/high settings (fps are locked in engine don't know how to unlock lolz) and that with a 2.0 Ghz single core AMD.
rtcw2 will be build on the same engine, so I guess it will be np4me.
idTech4 with megatextures was used by Splash Damage for ET:QW
idTech4 (without megatextures) was used by Raven for Quake 4, and they now use their modifications made in Quake 4 for the next Wolfenstein game.
Both companies started off with the same engine, however Raven has been working with it for 6 years or something and have largely customized it to suit their specific needs. So because of this, both games use the same engine, but there are probably major differences in each one.
Slowly spiral into a meaningless existence. Lost without anyone to point them in the right direction, the human race would wander aimlessly across deserted plains until they all eventually starve & die from over exposure to the elements as result of not having someone to ensure they follow their basic instincts of survival. ;)
no but because 10+ million people find the game so easy to pick up and play and the fact that it still sells now for second hand at only £15 cheaper than its retail price tells you its a fucking good game.
we are talking about the competition side here aren't we?
im wondering why ET never got the 100k+ prize money lans like CS (and halo?), even tho every one agrees ET has everything a competition game should have and more. i have no idea how many copy's of ET have been sold/downloaded, but saying just because millions of people bought a game means it's a good game, maybe, but not on the competition corner
According to the official statistics from Valve, who are in the best position to release accurate statistics, but might be biased toward the newer game, you were right, CS:S is bigger than CS 1.6.
Personally I'd say the CoD games have improved upon the CS formula significantly. I agree that there's been no improvement on the RtCW formula since ET though. ETQW had a few nice ideas, but the downs outweighed the ups.
CoD4 players are looked down on by CoD2 players, CoD2 players are looked down on by rtcw/et players, rtcw/et players are looked down on by Q3 players, Q3 players are looked down on by Quakeworld players, and everybody looks down on CS players.
Can't wait. And please, just STFU if your gonna say it will be a fail. There hasn't even been "real" screenshots, not even a demo...just a trailer that gives away very little. Just wait and be happy the game you love is getting a real sequel this time.
Becauce:
- nothing ever gets released on the planned date
- they will sell more copies at the highest price before christmas
- I want to continue to play ET for a bit
I just read about it in a Norwegian newspaper actually :P The creators said there won't be anything but a huge map, so you won't have to load a map ever :) Sounds like a great idea.
ohh, but do you think it will be anything like RTCW/ET? Because I don't like any other games as much as those two, no matter how hard I try liking them :( My hopes are almost too high for it to be a decent successor, if it is then maybe I'll return to gaming again :)
Almost 100% sure that it will fail (atleast for crossfire users) just because "it's not like ET, omg!". So did ETQW, so will Wolfenstein, so will do ET2 (if there ever wull be such) and so will any other game.
P.S.
Will keep on waiting for Aliens: Colonial Marines & ne Aliens vs. Predator game from Rebellion. I'm tired of all this "omfg wolfenstein!" crap. -,-
they say that with the global credit problem, there's going to be a depression like during the war. If RTCW isn't as good as everyone expects, there sure as hell will be.
Activision/Blizzard announced in their fiscal annual reports that the next Wolfenstein chapter will be released this summer !

Hope it gets delayed on the release to winter :D

...but after seeing your system specs, you might be right again ;)
