Enemy Territory: QUAKE Warsâ„¢ Announced!

(Psycho Al) #141

Yay for SD, this looks jolly good so far. :smiley: Lovely screens and good teaser trailer, can’t wait for more. Ignoring the worryingly WW2 obsessed RTCW fanboys, reaction over the net seems to have been great so far, with everyone impressed with what they’ve seen. Roll on 2006. :wink:

With every new game released i’m amazed about all the hard criticism and negative feedback people just seem to come up with, just to sum up a few examples

And btw plz fuck the doom engine, runs crap on non-nvidia based pc’s. So dont go for the uber graphics and focus more on the gameplay

That’s a real intelligent argument, i can tell that you are truely knowledgeable about game physics and rendering engines.

ook @ delta force and joint ops ladders and ut2004 onslaught ladder, i just hope et:qw qont be like those games.

Please tell me you’re kidding :eek2:

Actually that says it all, say hello to my little friend. :moo:

I’m at Arlanda, using a public terminal (2 Euro per hour), just home from an academic (i.e. boring) conference abroad - WHAT DO I SEE WHEN I LOG ONTO SPLASHDAMAGE FORUM (the first site i check after being off line for three days)!!

Is this for real? Quake Wars? Amazing. Cool. Is it team based? (No, I haven’t read the posts above).

Must run now. Catching domestic flight. cannot wait to get home!

I think you did the right thing, SD. Releasing the news without waiting for me, I mean. :wink:

Still SD’s fan

peop plz learn to edit your posts instead of posting 3 in a row. and btw perhaps you and darxy should go pm instead as it looks like you found eachother here.

and yes Loffy. ET:QW does look great and seems to have all the features we love about ET. ET have evovled and I am really looking forward to this!

(Salteh) #145

peop, please…
3 posts in a row is a bit silly :frowning:

Edit:

heh… I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed that

(Fusen) #146

no bots? I thought kendle has made quite a few posts about releasing a game without single player support

hmm edit, no bot support meaning for servers or sp? lol

Another ‘preview’ here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/enemyterritoryquakewars/preview_6126170.html

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will be an online-only multiplayer shooter

To me, this is an excellent idea. The replay value of human vs. human combat is like 1000x that of any single player game… with the possible exception of solitare or tetris :moo:

When asked about what kind of game modes Quake Wars would have, Cloud offered that the concept of game modes didn’t really apply, since each of the game’s missions will play out very differently

Please keep stopwatch mode, or something like it. This was one of the really excellent innovations of RTCW, and it allows you to make asymetrical maps (and teams) balance.

I cut trailer to make lot (40) screenshots.
You can see those in : http://www.enemyterritory-fr.com/
:wink:

Kudos to SD. The screenshots and trailer look fantastic and I am really looking forward to this game.

Best of luck with the rest of the development.

SCDS_reyalP, thanks for that link. Very informative.
I am thrilled!
What ever the cost, I must buy this.

Quote regarding the setting of QWET " …just before the beginning of Quake II (when the warlike aliens known as the strogg had invaded the Earth). "
Is there a story-line somewhere behind all the shooting? :slight_smile:

The action will “take place in huge outdoor areas in which the fastest mode of transport will be in a vehicle,”
Love the terrain, looking forward to the vehicles. This will be fun.

But then… “from the Doom III engine”
I forgot this part… the engine is new? i have to buy a new computer. Well, I guess I should see it as the perfect reason to treat myself to a new machine :slight_smile:

“John Carmack”
You guys at SD have worked with him?! Met him? How does it feel to stand next to a first person shooter icon? :eek:

" game’s missions … differently. …night-ops missions …points that will add to a persistent ranking system."
Sounds intersting. i wonder what it will be like.

This will send Battlefield2 back to the stoneage.

When can we start making maps?

(Higgins) #151

I wonder what the map editor will be like and if the scripting is easyer?

(Ragnar_40k) #152

I guess it will be very similar to DOOM3 mapmaking/scripting, so you can start with DOOM3 now and when the tools for ET:QW are released you only need to learn the adds.

(Joe999) #153

i do hope that the editor will become friendlier. the doom editors always sucked and still sucks. best ie easiest ingame editor i’ve seen so far was the one from far cry. too bad that in that case the game sucked.

(SCDS_reyalP) #154

My suggestion for the editor: Make it a loadable module instead of being hard linked into the game .exe like doom, and ship the source with the ‘game code’

:moo:

(CrazyGuy) #155

Is their any chance for Splash Damage guys that could make a New Forum.

Called,“Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars” ?

Also, please list any info about the game and that you guys could locked the topic. (No spamming from the regulars of this forum) Just in the info of the game topic.
Just would like an up to date of info of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars.

Thanks

What I want:

  1. [BSS]GANG$TA to stop flaming people so I don’t have to ban him from our forums, and to understand that we’re not making the game he wants, and that this won’t change no matter how he asks.

That’ll do for now.

First of all Wils, don’t you EVER talk to me like that again. I’m not one of your schoolboy devotees who hangs out here 24/7 hoping to " pick up some crumbs " from your great Splash Damage table.

Get your facts right for a start m8, i never " flamed " any PEOPLE on this webby, just ONE disrespectful, insulting, sarcastic little individual who’s the one that should be recieving your comments and not me. It seems perfectly acceptable for him and his ilk to spit venom in my direction, but not for me to reply to this pointless aggravation.

So you’re never going to make a new Return To Castle Wolfenstein, instead you’ve followed the advice of your market researchers and opted to release a modern day version of Planetside, fair enough, that’s all you had to say. As far as i’m concerened the game looks great, Planetside was great and this will be even better due to all the new advances in gaming technology. Best of luck with it.

When Return To Castle Wolfenstein 2 does get released and i say " when " not " if " because it’s a franchise that’s a sure fire earner and it will be picked up, it will be Game Of The Year again and blow all other f.p.s. titles right out of the water, watch and see m8. You guys have " missed the boat " on this one.

That’ll do for now.

(darxy) #158

So you’re saying RTCW has more of a following than Quake? Are you mad? I can’t say for sure, but I would also say that picking up a specific award like that came as more of a nice surprise to SD, rather than it being an outright goal from the start. What they probably aimed to do is make a fun and well made game, which they’ve succeeding in doing.

I’m sure there will be ups and downs for SD as with any dev company, choices must be made in one direction or another - but I’ll put money on QW ET being a winner…

(Wils) #159

Well that’s easy to resolve, isn’t it :slight_smile:

(carnage) #160

got two qestion one more to the devs realy

first look at this screenshot
http://www.enemyterritory-fr.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=763

ok now to make terain like that in the current editor would take some time and there is 10-12 maps i read somewhere, so is there some kinda of terain editor for QW that has been made to import the terain into radient… i supose it easygen is kinda of what ide expect but i found it very hard to get into and would expect something more ComandAndConquer generals style… for the terain at least

2nd to the QW suporters/rtcw loyalist… ime not saying anyhting agains QW or spash damage or rtcw for that matter, but all the major games coming out seem to folow the same rules and gamemodes etc… and people are stuck on rtcw or very specific games idea, wouldnt you actauly see some fresh new blood… i know i sertainly would, it seems that the same idea are being done to death idea love soemthing new, new concept, new gameplay, something no1 has though of yet… maby QW will be the game that does that but we cant all play rtcw forever
