Yea I have to also agree with Rex.
I said this earlier

[QUOTE=Ads913;413207]
For some reason I have to keep on saying to myself this is not a Quake Wars game. This game is something completely new.
I am going to be selfish, I have a big negative and it’s a concept issue. The blueprint of this game appears to be much a kin to Brink and TF2. From the Small maps, 8 vs 8 players and tracking a small armour car. No vehicles, no long scalable areas.

I will think that’s going to be a major problem for the casual public community player once they realise there not getting a Quake gumbo Deal. I know a lot of guys didn’t play Brink for the same reasons. So I am hoping they hang around and give it a chance…[/QUOTE]
There is nothing of a Quake Wars nature in this game.I would love a comment from the programming crew if there is any reason why that is.I would expect to make big maps with vechicles etc would be a drain on design/budget and hence why we get this micro style game.

I would like to see a volcano\Salvage style map as a addition to show some homage to QW maybe that would be a nice tip of the hat to the community.I cannot see it as the current maps are not in the same world or theme.

They started on this project before Brink got released so there’s still hope that before DB is released SD is already forming the first plans for a QW scale shooter.

We’ve not been working on DB for quite that long, although I hope it looks like we have :slight_smile:

Anti is there any chewy morsel you can give us QW worshippers to dwell on.

With a new engine, it’s important to get the infantry combat right first. The current Objective Mode in DB is a great reference that helps us tell whether each iterative adjustment is beneficial or not (since it acts as a great bar).

Remember though, that ETQW took four years. We’be worked on DB for a year so far.

So is the class specialisation a concious gameplay deciscion or a placeholder for more modular content?

So later on there will be special modes with vehicles etc like ETQW? ? :smiley:
