High Level Play Testing

(INF3RN0) #121

Very true in a lot of cases. I myself prefer new and understand there is always risk involved, and I also know that you have to break away from sequels and game clones sometime. In QW the added vehicles were an example of something “new” for ET fans. Big turn off for many, and I am not saying that something more original could have been developed in its place, but I felt that some simple tweaking wouldn’t make them as much of a problem for people. Of course many people were not willing to deal with them at all and didn’t bother supporting the game, while everyone else who had a problem was forced to use a community mod that helped bring some much needed balance. Basically when you introduce something new, it has to be very polished otherwise people tend to want to toss it rather than fix it. Promod however did QW a lot of justice in my opinion and attempted to fix rather than toss, thanks to dedicated modders that saw the game’s potential. Sadly the community was incredibly small and a huge mess :(.

I agree, I think Hannes did a tremendous job in a short time to give the comp scene a workable setup, it’s too bad the ranked server fiasco ruined any chance for custom maps and their acceptance by the masses.

for me, the added vehicles were a major bonus to the Enemy Territory franchise, too bad for some it was sacrilege

That would put the wrong emphasis on a ratings system in my opinion.
