[QUOTE=jazevec;331705]More generally, based on my observations people with manga or anime avatars tend to be full of crap and have trouble with reasoning. So far correlation is amazing.

Sad, but true. I even overheard a following (translated) conversation once:
“Crappy game, eh ?”
“Yes. But it’s free.”

These days you’ll be hard-pressed to find a youtube video of W:ET that doesn’t have LOUD killing sprees and other K/D magnifiers. W:ET has completely denerated, servers full of “funny” voicepacks, or you’ll be votekicked for completing objectives.[/QUOTE]

I have never in my life heard this ******.
W:ET was not crappy in any sense. It was SDs best work by far. It was modified by the players for the players with mods like etshrub (later etpub) and etpro. The first for casuals, the latter for competition.

It essentially became a perfect game because there were DOZENS of people contributing to the project (regulary). I then basically quit W:ET to come and play occasionally.
I realized the mod Jaymod and Noquarter had come out (both were atrocious and destroyed the essence of the game). Then I continued playing etpro and quit to find new games.

The reason W:ET has so many players has only a part to do with it being Free.
Its a damn good game and there is more people playing it now than Brink (after 1 month GG).

If it (W:ET) was really all about being free and that attracts so many players it would have more people playing using your argument than CS and Cod and BF but it does not.

[QUOTE=jaxer;331579]Ero, you are so full of crap. I have a friend that I gave QW’s to. There are like 2 servers that get even close to full populace.

W:ET does get allot of people though. MAINLY CAUSE IT’S FREE!

I saw so many comments on the ET:QW forums from people like you that can’t face reality that the game they love is dead.

And no, SD games (plural) do not last long. W:ET lasted long! Quake Wars died a 4 year death.

Fan boy is fan boy![/QUOTE]

Funny. TAW clan is way active on ETQW , in fact its their main game with around 120 members. shocked? Go ask Feanor, who is the clan leader. He will tell you the truth, we made like 9 seasons of scrimming between the North america division and Euro division and pub play with many friends that really liked the game. Like me, tired of pew pews i killed you more so i win, we stayed away from those to stay with QW. Still not believing? Go talk with Greasedscottsman and Dommafia, they will tell how it was on the servers for the past four years (which i also played actively). Even Jamieson is now part of TAW (if you dont know him, you’ve never played ET: Wolf or you are a total moron)

And before that i was member of LZ clan, also players of QW AND as primary game … drums rolling ET W-O-L-F !!! They have so many servers… surprisingly active up to this day and still running.

Full of crap? or full of facts that you fail to see . fearing to be wrong once in your life… cry me a river kiddo

Filthy beast award to you :stroggtapir: Now take your mouth filled of BS , close it and swallow hard.

Where did you get that impression? Any proof of that? YOU are showing tendencies of being full of crap just by generalizing on that matter. “The correlation is amazing on how many people with weird name and being senior on forums are Dicks”. That is as stupid as what you just said. Your statement effectively shows how you have trouble reasoning. You based your thoughts on past experiences where some internet fu ckt ard with an anime avatar did or said stupid stuff. In truth you can never judge a new experience on a past experience since all the factors that you supposedly tried to make reasoning with were different, hence your judgement having all the chances in the world of being wrong.

But maybe we could voice chat together, since im a psy, we could go over all those hate issues you have for the things you fear because it is the unknown. Humans often react with hate, anger or hateful statement when confronted to new ideas or concept they dont know about. I will even do it for free since you seem to be an urgent case. Tell me when you are ready for it, ill be there for you…

For the last part of your quote, i guess you stepped in really really custom game servers which have specific rules of playing. If you got kick, either you tried to play the game as in vanilla, broke a server rule, maybe got kicked for reserved slot or you acted like you usually do, like a D i c K. If you read the welcoming messages in console, those server often advertise their website or else to consult server rules. But I can understand if you missed it, i guess you were too excited to notice it. I know how it is, kids dont understand anything at all when they are excited, i got 3 kids at home. You just need to calm yourself next time… it will get better for you…

And hey! if you failed to notice that OP is only ****ting on a compagny for nothing, refer to the up most response on this post. I guess you got too much tolerance to hate and now you cant make the difference between showing respect for people who can do something that you cant even imagine doing and insulting them for absolutely nothing.

No contradiction. W:ET was not crappy - but now it is. It’s well past its prime, it has (or rather, community) degenerated. Good luck finding a server without obnoxious killing sprees or where you don’t get kicked for completing objectives. It’s always like this with multiplayer games - after a while, good (in more ways than just aim) players leave for greener pastures.

It essentially became a perfect game because there were DOZENS of people contributing to the project (regulary). I then basically quit W:ET to come and play occasionally.

  1. There are no perfect games, certainly not at this level of compexity. Is Battery a perfect map ? Is it okay if 70% of players are medics ? Is mortar used for more than spawncamping ?
  2. Perhaps this is why you look at it through rose-colored glasses. Because you don’t remember. W:ET you remember is very different from W:ET it is today.

The reason W:ET has so many players has only a part to do with it being Free.
Its a damn good game and there is more people playing it now than Brink (after 1 month GG).

True. And the reason W:ET is a good game is only in part thanks to Splash Damage. W:ET consists of RTCW (90%), so you should credit id Software and, I guess, Nerve (the devs or RTCW multiplayer). Tight controls, solid engine, pretty good sounds (compare to ET:QW !!), balance, even objective mode. Splash Damage created new maps and added a poor character class.

If it (W:ET) was really all about being free and that attracts so many players it would have more people playing using your argument than CS and Cod and BF but it does not.

I don’t know about COD and BF, but a lot of people have CS for free :P.

At least we agree on something - Jaymod and Noquarter are abomination.

(Kurushi) #86

Slammed for what? Probably the same minor things that can easily be patched like they can be for Brink. The ETQW beta was rock solid, it only really needed minor tweaks

(Ero-Sennin) #87

True, good old valley…

(FaL.Coaster) #88

WTF? This is a troll thread for sure!

(jaxer) #89

Ok Ero. So a game that has 2 populated servers at any given time is a thriving game huh?

They might have 120 clan members, but I’m sure they are are not all active in QW. TAW has a crap load of members in quite a few games.

QW’s is dead as a door nail!!!

Never said W:ET was only so popular because it was free, but that it was widely picked up because it was free. It stays alive because it is a decent game, and it’s free.

I’m sorry that you’re retarded enough to play a dead game. Play it till there are only 20 people left. I’m sure you’ll still say it’s “very” active then too.

I plan to move on and find a game that actually has more than 2 servers, and 300 people playing.

Haha, lamer.

(Qhullu) #90

There are few great servers in Europe. My favorite is running etpro, has 10 custom maps rotation (9 of them are my favorite et maps and then there is sw_oasis_b3 at the end to drive people away and make room for new people during the next rotation). It’s usually filled(24) with people that are good at the game and playing for the objective (sometimes we don’t complete objectives quickly if the allies side is much stronger though). And the teams are not mostly medics because mostly medic teams don’t do that well when playing for objective and when people are skilled and gibbing. Edit: And forgot to mention my favorite thing of all; class and weapon abilities are limited to level 2, and battle sense is not so that we can see mines.

Agreed on RtCW mp being a better game, I only started playing W:ET three or so years ago when it started getting hard to find people to play RtCW mp with.

(Kalbuth) #91

Hahaha! So you let other dictate your taste? Good sheep, good sheep!

As long as he finds people to play with, who are you to call him retarded because he’s playing a game he likes, not a game he is told to like

You should have way better reasons to drop a game than “it is not popular”. Calling others name because of that is even sillier

probably he is saying that a game without a bit of competition isn’t fun at all? dead comunity = NO HUMAN PLAYERS

this game isnt fun. I used to spend 2-3 hours A DAY, playing et or rtcw in publics
i dont waste 3 minutes in brink publics and the game is multiplayer only.

this must tell u something … maybe to hard do 1+1?

probably youre too fanboy to face the truth. Soon you will understand and you will ask yourself "why noone plays it?it’s such a cool game! "

Yup! Also i failz to understand, Jaxer, your " 2 full server with 300 players", where did you get that? QW sure has a small community still playing the game since they like the gameplay and the rules, but it is still a lot of so called retarded enough people playing dead games. BUT there are peak times where there is a lot of players and others times when is quiet. Maybe thats what you are talking about.

Here goes my fullness of crap going on again, somebody hang me with my PC power cord, oh my!
For me it was ETQW and TF2 as main FPS games last year, until Brink said would came out in Fall… nah it was kept from release until this spring. Why not wait a game release by playing a game you like? is it wrong? I also played Mass effect 1 with all its bug and ****… see i like crappiness, especially when you can port yur character to Mass Effect 2 ( receiving a lot of advantageous perks) and after beating that 2nd title, you will be able to port again in the next Mass efffect 3 game. OH MY OH MY what a sucky life huh? Im a fan boy for what MassE is, one of my fav starwars writer is the Lead story writer behind the game ( oh noes another Jedi wannabe!!!).

What a moronic way of thinking Jaxer… dring dring oups, could you excuse me a moment? Dring dring Hello? oh president obama what can i do for ya? what? stop going against Jaxer’s wishes… No no, i did nothing to make him cry he was just… but president Obama… Ok i understand , if its a request from its mother, ill stop being a renegade… Yeah of course i know how stressful it is to take care of a crybaby, but he is old enough to… oh! really?? omg i didnt know there could some of these so small… huhuh no no im listening… ah ok so if it makes at least grow his E-peen, his mother will be less worried…, no no of course Mr. President… yes ill comply, i kinda feel bad for his mother… yes i was wondering about the same thing, better having a big e-peen when you got self esteem issues… Thank you Mr. President, i will *turn off the phone and start laughing not believing that such micro real peen could exist…

pathetic :rolleyes:

Here’s an idea, maybe just maybe ‘fun’ is something that is subjective and as such some people find this game fun while other do not, you been the later, get over it, people will always enjoy something you don’t. No one forced you to buy this game, it was quite clear from the trailers and every preview how this game was going to be like, if you was expecting ET2 (again) then you only have your self to blame.

I’m no fanboy, there are plenty of issues in Brink.

I just don’t teen-angst “hahah game is dead therefore is bad lolololol”. I have reasons to dislike the game or parts of it.

This type of thread is childish at best, and yes, it’s completely sheep to let the popularity of a game dictate your likings.
There are 100’s of CoD servers. That doesn’t mean it’s a good game in my eyes, far, far, far from it, I find it a horrible game without anything in it. I’m not going to blindly buy it and play just because others play it

As long as you find servers with opponent and play against them, and these opponents have fun, again, who are you to dictate their fun? Laughing is them is only childish

boring, look at numbers please…ETQW has such a low concurrent players that it is embarassing if compared to BF2 released in 2005
http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?game=etqw

come on, be serious, u cannot state that a game is good and still alive because a clan is playing it

ETQW lasted longer than Brink, but after few months it was dropped by the most part of players and the numbers prove it

btw, i quote the initial question of this topic, i m sorry for SD but customers are not protected in game industry and this should be modified

(Aristotle) #98

**** all these people **** talking QW kind of makes me want to go play a few rounds.

The game may be dead compared to some other popular titles, but I wouldn’t really call it a completely dead game until the player base drops to something that can’t keep even one server full.

Oh and el1as, a person can state that any game is good if they enjoy playing it. You don’t have to have validation from other players to decide what you like.

Oh, I would also like to point out that the number 2 is not the same as the number 6, which as of typing this is the full server count, not to mention a few that have enough players in it to start the maps. Yes, it’s a small community, but again I wouldn’t call it dead until not even one server can be filled at any given time. Besides, sometimes it’s fun to play older games with a smaller community where you know pretty much everybody.

[/QUOTE]

obviously i was not talking about any personal opinion, but general consideration made by facts

clearly a player can consider etqw or brink a good game, but there are facts that state if the game was generally good and a general success or if the game is still alive and so on
numers give you an objective standpoint to evaluate that

(Crytiqal) #100

I know Jamieson, he’s a cool guy.

I also played W:ET. Never heard of Jamieson in that connection tho? Does that make me a moron? What did Jamieson do for W:ET?
