The trouble is, whilst ET is free, it still manages to attract only dedicated players for the most part due to the old graphics and physics it has. ET:QW will attract the ET heads because we know ET and we have a fair idea of the style of gameplay to expect. Unfortunatly it is also attracting teh L33t Ub3r A$$h0l3$ that play BF2, CS etc because of the Ug effect. If you do not know the Ug effect I shall enlighten you.
When a game is shiney with all the pretty light effects, shadowing and real life physics. nomatter how ceck the game actually is, certain groups of people start to drool and go “Ug, pretty, Ug”, they play the game entirely based upon how it looks and are generally juvenile dickwads that should’ve been shot at birth, in fact I rate these people as I would a spide (chav, ned or whatever word you use for corner lurkers in hooded tops, baseball caps and adidas trainers).
