How many players will ET:QW suppoer?

(Loffy) #41

Did the old man surive that flash?
Or is it an image from the single player part of ET2?
back to issue: I love playing on 25 vs 25 servers, just for the fun of it. Mindless fragging.
But, then, close play on a 6 vs 6 server is also fun. I guess it is all up to the map, will it handle 25 vs 25 (like temple) or not?, as stated above.
But it has to be indoor and outdoor. The Doom3 multiplayer was boring, always indoors.

it should be fairly safe to say that it’ll be fun for smaller team sizes

Ohhh yes. I don’t like servers with more than 12 v.s. 12 players, no matter which game. :smiley:

(Shrub_Slob) #44

you sir are a visionary.

you are correct sir

I can’t help but get a mental image of the late great Phil Hartman dressed up as Ed McMahon on SNL… :stuck_out_tongue:

you really can’t blame the pubstar for playing like one. his environment rewards him for his lame “tactics”. that doesn’t mean those of us who enjoy other aspects of gaming should be subjected to it.

Why can’t those of us who don’t feel the need to play SW matches, competitions settings or heaven forbid ET Pro be accorded that same respect?

I don’t like competition settings and I don’t particularly care for ET Pro either, should I be subjected to them when I play?

All I read on these forums is the utter contempt you “Professional Gamers” have for anyone who has the audacity to not play the game the way you do.

some of us actually like to think and strategize instead of just grabbing a panzer and playing the bull in a china shop.

Oh terribly sorry m’lord, have the peons offended thine tender sensibilities?

Sun Tzu is going to play ET tonight, let’s all gather 'round and view ‘The Art of War’ as it applies to ET… :rofl:

I play this game to have fun, not to be looked down on by ET Pro snobs and “Professionals”.

You don’t like Shrub or ET Pub? Bully for you.

I don’t particularly care for the anal retentive “I’m superior to the average pub player” attitude you people have oozing from your pores.

You don’t like the quality of play on pub servers? Stay off of them and spare yourself the agony of having to see people actually having fun, not agonizing about ratios, HS percentages and the assorted other sh!t you ET Pro cultists drone on and on about.

/rant ends

You may now commence with the personal attacks. :moo:

i for one have never played an ET clan match and still think small oub matches are better, granted larger ones can be fun for a change, but when you increase the number of players needed to play you cut more and more people out of the game from hardware and bandwtith restictions. also mit becomes much harder to run a server when you require a large number of people compared to a 5vs5 to get a match going

ime pretty sure all the stuff about HS persentages are considerd in develpment of the game to ensure the teams stay balanced

what is this, ironman II and now ironman III?

sigh.

(ouroboro) #47

ooh! ooh! please tell me i’m ironman II ?? :clap:

@Shrub_Slob: the VAST majority of servers cater to your style of play. so please do silence thyself, vile peon :wink:

it is incredibly difficult to find a decent server to pub on for those of us who want league-like settings. believe it or not. most of them are passworded match servers, not pubs.

after applying all the proper filters to ASE, i come up with a handfull of decent servers, and usually a very small number of those have people playing.

so yeah, i win. nice try though. oh and i agree, phil hartman was THE man, and his ed mcmahon owned all. i also LOVED his frank sinatra. absolutely classic.

oh, and in keeping with the “i am superior to you” theme:

:drink:

I can’t do the Billy Idol snarl with the same flair Sting brought to it… :suspicious:

Well met Sir. :beer:

sigh.

Oh please m’lord, spare my life, for though I dont partake of thine work or the kissing of thine ass I still enjoy playing a Video Game that somehow thou hast percieved as being yours and the only way of playing said Video Game is yours.

and your post has WHAT to do with the topic, “How many Players will ET:QW support ?”

(Joe999) #51

i wanna contribute with my part of nonsense and admit that i have the most quality games in a 3vs3, the most fun in a 10vs10 like eg in a gazillion medics vs a gazillion medics trying to kill each other while they revive each other which goes around like 1 or 2 minutes in fight (<=awesome in ET) and when i’m bored i go on a pub, play the panzah puss equipped with thompson in order to get a decent high fragcount. tha last one is neither quality nor fun but it’s kind of stress relieve :smiley:

as to what shrub_slob wrote i - as an austrian who hardly speaks english - ask myself what kind of english this is (no offense!), i hardly understand anything except that it’s some useless ranting.

whatever the player limit is, SD will make it perfect, so who cares. all i ask myself in this topic is:

what’s it all about with the tapirs at SD? :smiley:

Holy panzerbait batman! The sarcasm meter is off the scale!

I wish more people would read the reviews and Locki’s interviews. Then we wouldn’t have so many false answers.

(Wils) #54

You’ve offended my tender sensibilities. Stop trolling this thread, please.

Tapir’s are awesome. Peruse the following factoids, if you don’t believe me:

  • They weigh between 350 and 800 pounds
  • Strong as an Ox and nearly indestructible
  • Capable of throwing bathtubs
  • Can smell lettuce from over five yards away
  • Possess the ability to open even round doorknobs
  • Can swim AND throw tantrums at random
  • Emit chipring sounds like a bird
  • More maneuverable than a Weimaraner dog

And they look cute :slight_smile:
Almost as cute as ducks!

(Nail) #57

but not as tasty

now spread the word Joe999…tell everyone about the MARVELOUS creature called the “TAPIR” ! (formerly dancing bananas of a different breed, but they were replaced with site advertising- so I removed it.)
