So now that you have played (enter game name here) a while is it better?

Just curious, since most everyone has moved on to other games, are they that much better than ETQW?

The question popped into my head while I was waiting to get in the only populated NA ETQW server. A few people have been trying to get me to try other things. I just don’t see any of them being more fun than what I’ve already got.

I almost picked up BFBC2 the other day. Just went on home instead, loaded ETQW and, as usual, it satisfied my MP cravings.

Try an non-fps. Nothing that great to play, but at least most of the other stuff runs smoother and has more than a single server :wink:.

Haven’t found an FPS better than ETQW. No real interest in anything else, personally, although my time per day that I’ve got available to play is very small.
Maybe I’ll get distracted when Doom 4 comes out, who knows.

i would say BFBC2 but it got boring after 2 days worth of playing. So i came back to QW. Then played Borderlands for a good amount of hours then came back to QW palyed many other games and yet came back to QW so no there is none better imo :cool: But Beat Hazard is a nice game to chill out too. Its £7 from steam and developed by Cold Beam Games and its just 1 guy that made it =D check it its fun when u want a break from MP games :slight_smile:

Same feeling as Azuvector, no other FPS really strikes me as being amazing. QW is the best FPS i’ve played so far. But it if i want a break i play Moron Marathon (crazymonkeygames.com) or Homerun in Berserk Land (kongregate.com)

Still playing QW but not nearly as much. Gave L4D a go but its full of tossers, no room for newbies.


(iwound) #7

all of the other games ive tried dont feel as nice as QW. i always come home.

personally,quake live is everything i could have asked for even if i had to stop playing recently,that’s the only fps game i’d play nowadays (besides postal 3,should be released this year hopefully).
however,nothing will ever beat the adrenaline rush and goose bumps that only ETQW (pro) gave me despite all its major flaws , i’ll never manage to forget how amazing it was.

fired up “battle for Wesnoth” recently, got hooked for a complete evening, saw how much time I wasted then fired up et:qw to vent off my anger :smiley:


(Kl3ppy) #10

I played MW2, came back to ETQW. Then i played BC2, and actually i get away from ETQW, but since friday, im playing some etqw again.
Imo, etqw is one of the best FPS out there, i hope Brink continues but i think brink just fails like wolfenstein (2009)


(Apocalypse_Pony) #11

The thing is Inf, even with it’s flaws, there’s nothing else I’d want to play.

And that is partly why. If I had more free time, I’d probably be more adventurous.

I run that marathon everyday at work. Might not be the game for me. :slight_smile:

All my hopes are with Brink. If it is fail, I thinks it’ll just be me and the QW bots.


(light_sh4v0r) #12

QW is the best FPS still, QL is satisfying for short whiles. I play League of Legends a LOT now, which is not an FPS but a very good game nonetheless. If you play with friends anyway.

Been playing Wii lately. Ghost Squad!!! What a classic :smiley:

I spent a fair amount of time playing BC2 with my fellow geezers (many are old school BF2 players who moved into COD). It can be satisfying and fun, especially playing squad rush with fixed teams (we have a GzR vs GzR league with 6-8 4 man teams and have matches 2/week). I still enjoy those matches, and they work very well with 4 man teams so it’s easier to have more teams in a mid-sized clan like we have.

But is it as good as ETQW? No way. It’s the same thing over and over, your objective mode is Rush and anyone can arm or disarm an M-com. They have done some things better than they have in the past, including more team based XP awards. The vehicles are all very well done as well. The sound is quite awesome. Graphics I supose are great too but because of my machine specs I’m playing with everything on low and getting maybe 25-30 FPS.

When it comes to the gameplay though, no one does it like Splash Damage.

I switched to Windows 7 and hadn’t bothered to re-install ETQW until Friday. Have been playing again and re-familiarizing myself with the mechanics of the game. One thing i can tell you is I’m susceptible to rotator cuff tendenitas brought on by gaming, and the pace of ETQW is far more likely to cause me issues than BC2 is. That’s OK, I just have to take more breaks :slight_smile:

I have high hopes for Brink and can hardly wait. I really like what SD is doing to try and encourage team based play. They also seem to be listening a lot more to feedback than they did on ETQW, activly asking questions and soliciting feedback in a number of instances.

So, I’ll probably be playing more ETQW in the next few weeks than BC2.

Honestly, i’m glad such 13€ versions are sold as this game was utter ****. Very unbalanced and bugged.


(Donatien) #19

During the last year i played some games. Well… a lot.

And now i can say im a CoD fan.

Seriously, CoD4 is a great game for me, and it has an awesome promod.
CoD5 was really good fun.
And MW2… well we all know that was a fail, but even being **** i have 500 hours on it lol.

What do i like about CoD? the weapons, the maps, search & destroy, the game itself.

just my opinion, most of people have bad PC and their FPS is veery bad or just they dont play it cuz everybody says “this game sucks” “its epic fail” etc… they just havent tried this game before telling “this sucks” YouTube videos doesent tell anything about game ^^ just my opinion :slight_smile: , but i like QW alot, but atm i dont have a good PC but i own this game too :stuck_out_tongue:
