I enjoyed Special Forces but I have to lean towards the craptastic tag for non gameplay reasons.

  1. The system requirments were higher than BF2 so a lot of players complained of lag when playing because there system couldn’t handle it.
  2. It fragmented the servers because you couldn’t run Special Forces maps in a rotation with vanilla BF2 maps.
  3. BF2 patches frequently ‘broke’ some of the SF maps and you had to wait a patch to play them.

Personally I just want Quakewars to be like a typical Id game. They give you the game and then maybe some extra maps down the road free of charge in a patch. Then you get the strong mapping and mod community to add to that content. You don’t have a ranked server situation that keeps people from playing custom maps because they have to be played on un-ranked servers. Un-ranked = no stats so no players. I just wanted one type of server with cheat proetection ala sv_pure + punkbuster.

Oh and the Urban shot looks amazing! I didn’t realize that we’d be fighting in cities like that. Very cool.

wow, so good!

the whole scene kinda reminds me of a level in SiN where you had to climb on a dumpster to get up the ladder to the fire escapes, and there was all the litter and burning barrels strewn about.

Man I sure hope that burger joint has tasty burgers!

Unfortunately, that particular Chicken Stop was closed the week before the Strogg invasion, due to excessive levels of acrylamide in the burgers.

Waaait a second.
Why does a chicken shop sell burgers?

(Rhoades) #26

somethings afoot

I wonder if they serve buffalo wings? :smiley:

edit: err served!

(Schizma) #30

w00t for urban combat maps :banana:

(Shanks) #31

Well around here chicken shops sell burgers and ribs, as well as the occasional chicken sandwich.
I just don’t understand how a restaurant with such an unoriginal name stayed in business! I bet the politicians were involved!

As long as the game supports clan tags so players dont have to reset their stats everytime they join a new clan ill be happy.

(kamikazee) #33

Even then - write down those stats before changing account and you know them. They have no more value other then bragging rights.

Do mind there are a bunch of other topics on this issue.

I’m pretty sure there will be a username and then an ingame name. Much like how steam works.

(ouroboro) #35

I’m confused about this “supporting clan tags” thing. Why do you need a different field for it? If your nickname is “LeetDood” and your tags are “[LC]” just register the username “LeetDood” and set your name in-game to “[LC]LeetDood.” You’d have to be pretty optimistic, or loyal, or SCDS_reyalP, to register “[LC]LeetDood” as your username.

Q4 has a “clan tag” cvar and nobody uses it.

(Rhoades) #36

they’re talking about when the username you register with is the only ingame name you can use, which obviously isn’t the case. So i dont know why they’re even talking about it.

I got rid of the logo on the screenshot. Its nothing great but it should do untill they release the proper unmarked version.

Hmm? Activision already released that screenshot without watermark. I have it on my HD.

(Fab) #39

Right. Ive been looking for it but have had not luck. You got a link or can you upload and share?

They resized it to 1280 x 960 so if you want the original 2048 x 1536, 12mb TGA check the press area of the Activision ftp, or I can mail it to you (7mb RARed).
