Holy balls, this game is fast

(Sushimaster) #1

Having not played this for about a year (playing TF2, MW2 and BC2 instead) this game is FAST! :eek:

Faith wanted me to be on the attacking side most of the time, so I’ve been playing GDF medic alot. Anyone who’s played Medic on a 12v12 pub in say… Sewer knows what I mean. There is **** exploding, people screaming for Medics, forward spawns that need to be held AT ALL COST and an insane amount of bullets and grenades going around, trading places with your vital organs. It’s insane… and I love it! :stroggbanana:

heh, wb I guess :slight_smile:

many players, who came to ETQW from Quake, say this game is slow :wink:

:smiley:

Another thing I noticed: it seems that now that most people are very competent, even on pubs. Rarely do I see a chopper being used a personal transport, and all medics will come to your aid if your in need. Great!

truely Hell for slow-bariners and mentally limited players.

Holly molly, what you mean fast, in beta & before patching this game was 2-3 times faster.

@treefrog, yea, that’s true.

Highly, HIghly doubt that its now 2-3x slower then beta…
Granted it’s been a few years since i played the Beta… but still…

as for the OP-

yeah the game is nice and fast paced and since most peeps left the game, those that still play know wtf to do, yes there are still newbies… but as stated, the majority are vets. which is nice…
and bad, when they prefer to stack… but its still a fun game…

from what am reading on these boards, Brink is slower then ETQW… which doesnt look good for its longevity… but who knows, time will tell…

try coming from RTCW! :slight_smile:
talk about fast… best MP ever… long live WOLF…

It’s not that bad, slong as they don’t go too slow. Because I want my adrenaline rush damnit! I want to waste all my ammo killing 3 dudes, surviving and kamikaze attack 5 dudes with a grenade! Then I shall be satisfied. Also tapirs. Gotta have those :stroggtapir:

Nah it are the mentally limited players that have an edge in these moronic spam-fests.

no, their presence is more usual for CS[S] or JO, for example[than in ETQW or W:ET], IMO.
while some “game for spine” is still require some thinking. like TF2, for example.
point is for most outsiders/newbies, is even 6vs6 or 8vs8 in ETQW online is “moronic spam-fests” and source of frustration and suicidal tendencies[i heard gory tale about German guy, who blew own brains, cause lost 2% stats number[i forgot what particular meant]]
so its all about choice[4 customers].
preferably - INSIDE ONE PRODUCT, somehow.
so manageability[both client-side and server-side]is key, along with transparency, SDK’s/doc’s, and [hardcoded]lock-in absence.

I came to this game from Quake, and it is arguably faster. With the vehicles, you at least get a decent amount of time to do stuff before you get pwned. I hate spawning in Quake, then eating about 6 rockets. Completely kills any game flow.

(Tanzverbot) #15

No, no, no, yout got it all wrong. More players and more spam means more complexity. Less players means dumbing down the game, taking away all the dynamics and basically making it TDM.

Holly Squares! I’m not dead! Believe me! Hi Chris!

I’M NOTA DEADA!

I will back soon, since i’m feeling an incontrolabe desire to play it!

My MP history is: Quake 2 -> Quake 1 Team Fortress -> Some Quake 3 -> ETQW.

The longest stay was on Quake 1 TF. ETQW is the best experience. I believe people will play it for a looong time like was with Quake 1.
