Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars

To all the people thinking about buying this game....


AZTECK AARON 07-21-2008, 6:37 PM

          Ok, so, I rented this game and at first it was fun, but then, I realized this game is horrible, pure trash, why?

GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay of this game is repetitive, in the first missions of this game it is fun taking the MCP to the deploy point, stop the strogg/GDF from destroying something, ect...but that`s it, I`ve only done Africa, North America and Northen  Europe on Easy, and man, it gets annoying doing the same, like protecting the jamming generator, and some parts you can win doing nothing..
+resume:poor repetitive gameplay...

The weapons and vehicles in this game are very poor , yeah, you can get upgrades when you  get rewards in some classes but that`s it, the vehicles are terrible, like the titan tank doesn`t have any animation when firing the main cannon...the helicopters...well if you can control the Abinai or navinay(forgot it`s name, but it`s the fastest one) but you`ll get killed fast and the accuracy it`s horrible, the bumblebee, it is slow as he.ll...
+resume:not many weapons, vehicle combat and  movement really poor...

AI:
Jesus, this game`s AI it`s just...garbage...you can`t even get a medic, ammo, supply, when you request it, takes a lot to the AI to reaction, you can`t even get that a NPC drive the armadillo when you`re shooting the turret...
+resume:poor and dumb AI...

ONLINE:
Worst online ever... I got into the same laggy room 8 times...nobody plays this anymore, and in the only one decent server I got everyone were running with soldiers w/A.Rifle-Shotgun and people on tanks, just raking up kills, pure run&gun...
+resume:a poor intent of a online community, that failed...

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/enemyterritoryquakewars/index.html?tag=result;title;1 

This game is pure trash, do not buy it, it will die in a month or so,  thanks god I just rented it....

I had the misfortune of buying it, then learning within the first week of its release how much we were ripped off. I mean seriously freaking ripped off because the PS3 got a better game than we did. Splash Damage had two different companies porting this game over. We got Nerve, which did a absolutely sh*t-tastic job at butchering and removing features that the other PS3 game had. At least the PS3 had optimatch for choosing your online server instead of matchmaking. At least they had first person view in vehicles. Compare this game to the PC version and anyone will see the PC will always be better. This game should never have been ported in the first place. Splash Damage should've done the porting themselves.

I was as smart as you for trading the game back in after first week of playing.

Your review basically lost credibility when I read this. Of course you don't have to do anything and you can win when your playing on easy. Bump your difficulty to hard and then tell me you didn't have to do anything.

I'm sorry they don't have the Mega Sized Super 1 Shot Kill All weapon that you like. I rather like not having a milliion weapons at my disposal. I think the weapon selection is perfect. As for the Titan tank not having animation that's complaining just to complain.

Actually this game had some of the best AI I've seen. Yes when you first play the AI bots don't help you much but if you do your job and gain rank they will deffinitely help. I've had bots run through heavy fire just to give me ammo packs because I was running low. When I've called for help I've watched 3 bots work their way to my position to revive me. The AI actions while driving are the same, if you haven't put in the time and gained rank they don't help you much. Would you follow the orders of a Private? How about a Captain or General?

This is the only point that I'll somewhat agree with you. The lag can be terrible especially if you have a host who doesn't understand their limits and set's max players to 16 when they can maybe handle 8. For a mainly online game the developer/s dropped the ball. But they didn't just drop it, they dropped it, stepped on it and poured cement on top of it to make sure it doesn't live.


I'm sorry you didn't get to see the game as it should be, ie - not run & gun. While the game can lean that way when the people playing choose to, the game is much more fun when you get both sides playing it tactically. I like this game a lot but I've come to the conclusion that the console version while fun will never get any better. I still have my PC version and will continue to play that for my ET:QW fix.

If the console was equal to the PC version in features and abilities I would still have this game and enjoy it immensely. Sadly it was just a cheap port, done by a crappy development team, and there will never be any support to fix it. A waste of money on Splash Damage's part.

Get a decent sandbox game like Frontlines Fuel of War or BFBC. How can this game be a war with a low 8 v 8?? Frontlines has a massive 25 v 25 with no lag!! woot woot

Re: To all the people thinking about buying this game....

And that's why this game will be forgotten and cast to the winds. FFOW ftw!

Its a shame, I was excited about this before it came out. The HORRIBLE servers and terrible campaign killed it.

Don't play much anymore, i post when i work.. or am supposed to be working

Re: To all the people thinking about buying this game....


Necris Zombie 07-26-2008, 10:29 PM
Wow, interesting comments. I've expereinced lag once every 30 matches. No more then every other FPS or RPS, especially at the speed of Quake Wars. Unfortunately there is no other game with the amount of individual distinct actions going on as Quake Wars to truly do a comparrison.

My word to those who are wondering. If you love strategy you will love this game. If you just want to run and gun or play quazi-strategy(FoF, BC. etc.) then this is not for you.
I can tell you this, the QW community that's on here is much more pleasant then your run-and-gun game mates.

Over the next six months find me bouncing between QW and UT3...... PEACE

let me just stop you there ok, try playing halo 3 or Fronlines or BFBC they are mostly back and forth games frontlines being the best example

you capture point X leave to capture point Y, meanwhile enemy captures point X you then go back and capture point X and the cycle begins again, even Halo 3 is the same

You grab the flag get killed respawn grab the flag get killed respawn and thats really repettative, with Quake Wars you get different varied objectives true one sides will almost entirely be defending orpreventing the MCP but there at different locations with different usable surroundings, when attacking theres the basic build or repair X. hack into X, get the MCP to the point to deploy as a base, place charges then defend the area till the charge detonates, and you get to see advantages from your work, walls crumble, generators fall apart or spring to life, bridges appear, towers appear, walls and gots blow open, and with the mining laser and jamming generator ones you see whole sections of building blow up and cumble, its a bit better than the half arsed geo mod of BFBC.

whats there to animate it fires then reloads then fires, what do you want the whole tank to unfold into a transformer pull out a gun and shoot that then turn back ?

The buble bee is a transport vehicle aimed at allowing 5 or 6 people to reach the battle field through a means the enemy wont expect.

Theres plenty of weapons each varying from the classes, and variations on the weapons lets look:

Strogg: weapons

standard machine gun like thing

Nailer (shotgun)

Blaster (psitol)

grenades

Chaff grenades

hyper blaster (chain gun)

Anihaliator (It htink thats the name its a rocket launcher anyway)

Lightning gun

Railgun

spikes (melee weapon for back stabs)

and these are only the weapons not the offensive tools like drones and injectors

Humans: weapons
Machine gun (deafult style weapon)
Shotgun
grenades
EMP grenades
GPMG (a chain gun)
pistol
silenced pistol
Rocket launcher
grenade launcher
silenced msg ( hand held uzi like machine gun)
sniper rifle
and knife ( again a melee and backstabbing weapon)
again this is just the things classed as weapons not the offensive tools like thrid eye or the turrets

where else will you see AIs spawn camping, sniping, working as a team to find snipers, setting up cover and turrets, they know how to drive, fly help you, disguise themselves, and heal you and others, and as for not getting in the vehicle, honk the horn just like almost any other game to tell people your giving rides, or tell them by the orders screen

when arent PC games dumbed down for consoles, seriously weve lost 2 things the whole class preview thing and the first person vehicle control, are they needed no, would they be used, not much. Theres always search criteria for the match making on this one.

fonrtlines has private servers you could theoretically run 25 vs 25 on Quake wars if it had a private server just as running 8vs8 onfrontlines would have to be the maximum if your were personally hosting it.

Id say if you liked Tribes 2 on PC then you will love this game because they are essentially similar in the class system and the varied tasks you can do

Exactly. The unique gameplay and actions in this game are unlike any other battlefield style game out there. Now you, hobblejp, seem to recognize this, and that's fine with me. But looking at the PC and PS3 versions and noting the drastic differences is unacceptable. I wish this game had been a success on the console as much as it has on the PC but thanks to the 'stellar' porting job Nerve and Underground (which was promptly shut down by Activision and disbanded after completion of the game, thereby *** over PS3 players forever) did we won't see any patches or fixes for this game ever. There are no forums I am aware of where you can contact Nerve or Activision regarding this.

Point well taken. They definately pushed the XBOX version out without much thought to the matchmaking system. I enjoy the concept of the game and LIVE so much, I try to pretend the other versions don't exist......................otherwise I'll walk around pissed.

so doe the textures contribute gameplay to it no, are they simple asthetic things there yes. theres two kinds of gamers those who enjoy the lights and those who enjoy the games, plenty of people objected to GTA due to its poor graphics yet its still a good game

Halo 3 AI is terrible its almost like the horde AI used in dead rising where enemies dont come up with plans but just charge you. the others I havent played enough to comment so I wont, but on this game the AI on hard is a match for most players, and the AI behaves in a more human way not simple yelling to you constantly or running into walls

Wow, interesting comments. I've expereinced lag once every 30 matches. No more then every other FPS or RPS, especially at the speed of Quake Wars. Unfortunately there is no other game with the amount of individual distinct actions going on as Quake Wars to truly do a comparrison.

My word to those who are wondering. If you love strategy you will love this game. If you just want to run and gun or play quazi-strategy(FoF, BC. etc.) then this is not for you.
I can tell you this, the QW community that's on here is much more pleasant then your run-and-gun game mates.

Over the next six months find me bouncing between QW and UT3...... PEACE

the game seems laggy and twitchy at times to me, though my connection is top of the line...so it aint me, but your right, generally the players ive encountered on this title are far friendlier and easier to take, very few team kills like battlefield, very few b**chy angry pms dudes like frontlines, and not alot of pointless "checkout my baddass stats" braggerts like in cod 4, so a worthwhile title in my book, but if you cant afford to buy games regularly, then id suggest a different title as this one really attracts fewer gamers than others, so online can be sporadic

Halo 3 AI is terrible its almost like the horde AI used in dead rising where enemies dont come up with plans but just charge you. the others I havent played enough to comment so I wont, but on this game the AI on hard is a match for most players, and the AI behaves in a more human way not simple yelling to you constantly or running into walls

you most be dumb if you think a zombie`s AI should be "Smart", isn`t that the zombie`s are jus guided by one main surviving concept : feeding....

who said anything about me thinking Zombies should have smart AI from Dead rising you expect that level of AI, you must be really dumb to have miss understood the point I was making which was how terrible the AI is on Halo3, where youd expect some degree of decent AI from the enemies rather than cover run attack, cover run attack, then when they are close melee

At least the PS3 had optimatch for choosing your online server instead of matchmaking. At least they had first person view in vehicles. Compare this game to the PC version and anyone will see the PC will always be better. This game should never have been ported in the first place. Splash Damage should've done the porting themselves.


Bugger. I played the PS3 demo and decided to give the game a try but went with the 360 version because I thought it would have more chance of having people online playing it. Now you tell me the game's are completely different? Oh well, at least I only paid $15 for it. Should have by next week if anyone is interested in having a game. Doesn't seem like many people are playing these days.
I’ve experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.

Yeah, I have all 3 versions, from PC, 360, to PS3.  I say the PC version is the best, with the PS3 version slightly better than the 360 version.

Now does this mean I want to sell the 360 version?  No.  Although I payed a full $60 on it, I can just say it is a collectable.  I collect id software games, and you got a problem with that?

BTW, will people still play this after a few weeks?  Because I'm looking to get on after I'm done exams.  I got my 2nd 360 after my dad smashed my first one.

          Ok, so, I rented this game and at first it was fun, but then, I realized this game is horrible, pure trash, why?

GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay of this game is repetitive, in the first missions of this game it is fun taking the MCP to the deploy point, stop the strogg/GDF from destroying something, ect...but that`s it, I`ve only done Africa, North America and Northen  Europe on Easy, and man, it gets annoying doing the same, like protecting the jamming generator, and some parts you can win doing nothing..
+resume:poor repetitive gameplay...

let me just stop you there ok, try playing halo 3 or Fronlines or BFBC they are mostly back and forth games frontlines being the best example

you capture point X leave to capture point Y, meanwhile enemy captures point X you then go back and capture point X and the cycle begins again, even Halo 3 is the same

You grab the flag get killed respawn grab the flag get killed respawn and thats really repettative, with Quake Wars you get different varied objectives true one sides will almost entirely be defending orpreventing the MCP but there at different locations with different usable surroundings, when attacking theres the basic build or repair X. hack into X, get the MCP to the point to deploy as a base, place charges then defend the area till the charge detonates, and you get to see advantages from your work, walls crumble, generators fall apart or spring to life, bridges appear, towers appear, walls and gots blow open, and with the mining laser and jamming generator ones you see whole sections of building blow up and cumble, its a bit better than the half arsed geo mod of BFBC.
 the difference is, that, halo 3 doesn`t bores you....

The weapons and vehicles in this game are very poor , yeah, you can get upgrades when you  get rewards in some classes but that`s it, the vehicles are terrible, like the titan tank doesn`t have any animation when firing the main cannon...the helicopters...well if you can control the Abinai or navinay(forgot it`s name, but it`s the fastest one) but you`ll get killed fast and the accuracy it`s horrible, the bumblebee, it is slow as he.ll...
+resume:not many weapons, vehicle combat and  movement really poor...

whats there to animate it fires then reloads then fires, what do you want the whole tank to unfold into a transformer pull out a gun and shoot that then turn back ?
 
no, but my point is that when shooting the main cannon, it doesn`t have any animation like some recoil, kick-back, smoke...just see the scorpion tank from halo....

The buble bee is a transport vehicle aimed at allowing 5 or 6 people to reach the battle field through a means the enemy wont expect.

ohh, yeah, a transport vehicle should be fast to deliver the troops in time, though, you may get killed 9/10 of the times flying the bumblebee...

Theres plenty of weapons each varying from the classes, and variations on the weapons lets look:

Strogg: weapons

standard machine gun like thing

Nailer (shotgun)

Blaster (psitol)

grenades

Chaff grenades

hyper blaster (chain gun)

Anihaliator (It htink thats the name its a rocket launcher anyway)

Lightning gun

Railgun

spikes (melee weapon for back stabs)

and these are only the weapons not the offensive tools like drones and injectors

Humans: weapons
Machine gun (deafult style weapon)
Shotgun
grenades
EMP grenades
GPMG (a chain gun)
pistol
silenced pistol
Rocket launcher
grenade launcher
silenced msg ( hand held uzi like machine gun)
sniper rifle
and knife ( again a melee and backstabbing weapon)
again this is just the things classed as weapons not the offensive tools like thrid eye or the turrets

wow,  still poor, the textures suck,,

AI:
Jesus, this game`s AI it`s just...garbage...you can`t even get a medic, ammo, supply, when you request it, takes a lot to the AI to reaction, you can`t even get that a NPC drive the armadillo when you`re shooting the turret...
+resume:poor and dumb AI...


where else will you see AIs spawn camping, sniping, working as a team to find snipers, setting up cover and turrets, they know how to drive, fly help you, disguise themselves, and heal you and others, and as for not getting in the vehicle, honk the horn just like almost any other game to tell people your giving rides, or tell them by the orders screen

Worst online ever... I got into the same laggy room 8 times...nobody plays this anymore, and in the only one decent server I got everyone were running with soldiers w/A.Rifle-Shotgun and people on tanks, just raking up kills, pure run&gun...
+resume:a poor intent of a online community, that failed...

This game is pure trash, do not buy it, it will die in a month or so,  thanks god I just rented it....


this ame will be a sleeper hit and will outlast Halo 3 and COD4 just look at some of the past games as soon as the next version comes out people wil go mad and all switch to te new one leaving the onld one deserted.

when arent PC games dumbed down for consoles, seriously weve lost 2 things the whole class preview thing and the first person vehicle control, are they needed no, would they be used, not much. Theres always search criteria for the match making on this one.

Get a decent sandbox game like Frontlines Fuel of War or BFBC. How can this game be a war with a low 8 v 8?? Frontlines has a massive 25 v 25 with no lag!! woot woot

fonrtlines has private servers you could theoretically run 25 vs 25 on Quake wars if it had a private server just as running 8vs8 onfrontlines would have to be the maximum if your were personally hosting it.

Id say if you liked Tribes 2 on PC then you will love this game because they are essentially similar in the class system and the varied tasks you can do




You seem like a pretty main streem gamer to me. Halo 3 is trash, the only thing I find online is screaming kids and arseholes who'll cuss you out or teamkill you for absolutely no reason. Also the matchmaking is broken. I was playing ranked Team Slayer and was paired up with Brigadairs and was going against Gunnery Seargants. Wtf? I said to myself after we owned them 50 - 3. I messaged one member on each team and found out they were individual players, meaning they weren't in a party when they were searching for a game. This has happened numerous times.

Have any of you ever even played the original Enemy Territory?  In a game like this AI is pretty much jus stupid in general, and just not that fun to play with anyways cause they're boring.  this game was designed for online multiplayer (real people), clearly you guys are missing out.  I played and loved the original Enemy Territory on the PC and loved it, this game has that and many more excellent features.  you guys say this game failed, i think you guys failed.  Halo is a completely different game, his game is based on TEAMPLAY, for those of you who are complaining, have no idea what teamwork is when it comes to a game like this.  you guys are compairing this game to games that are not team objective, and i dont mean the sissy capture the flag, in most games ctf is weak cause nobody knows how to work as a team, they run around like rambo. but in a game like this, you can't do that, you gotta have your team, it's not about kills, it's about the objectives.  it's not what your team provides for you, it's what you provide your team...

for those of you who do like the game, and want to play online, send me a friend request and lets get owning some strogg Big Smile [:D]
