Why do you still play ETQW?

(taw_m0nsta) #1

For me personally is team play. Every match is different. If there is a good balance, holding or doing an objective can get very exciting and its never the same. Its also a lot about thinking forward when your on the objective and finding the right moment to attack. I tried other games (last one is Nuclear Dawn), but the action of playing ETQW with a stable team is just incredible high.

No other game (online game) holds me attention as much

Team Play and Custom Maps.

there is no other capable to replace this game not even brink, which sucks with its tiny maps, smart bottom always on and hard to knock out a friendly team mate. BF3 is based on D/K ratio whoring!

I still play, cause ETQW 2 hasn’t been released yet.

Team objective play, variety of balanced weaponry (for the most part), high skill curve, good concept of map designs, user-friendly interface and cvars, etc, etc. When your not some wannabe-pr0 rambo medic newb who just camps the spawn, the game has a lot to offer and no game is ever the same as the last. I still like the part where aim is quite a large factor, but of course the LAGGY NET CODE is the main reason why people become frustrated. Otherwise I would probably just complain about flier nubs.

I still play it simply because it’s still the best MP shooter out. I think the real question is, why don’t people play it.

Granted, that does get frustrating, but it’s something I can deal with. S*** gameplay and random cones of retardation, I cannot.

I voted for all categories because everything bring tears of joy on me in this game…

The main reason tho is the “social network”, I mean with a little community you know everyone, and flaming / bragging / tbagging / making insane kill or get insanely killed by someone you “know” is really really what makes me play one game.

That said I need to move my arse and replay customs maps, but it’s sometimes frustrating when you left etqwpro for some times to get owned and owned and owned, nirvana show need some balance at some points, we all know the “skills” of each other, shouldnt be that hard to balance… Or we can do like in gather at some point, 2 shuffles before the campaign starts.

Peace

Well spoken Apples, thank you!

The ingame community is my 1st choice to play this game, still :slight_smile:
For me there is no game which such an intense, fast and various gameplay.
With a good team you can win a map vs. all these wonder.cfg heroes in one team :slight_smile:

Oh dear! I love QW, I fear :smiley:

all the best,

What else is there to play? I enjoyed L4D and L4D2 and I would probably still be playing those, if it weren’t for the disproportional number of retards that seem to populate the servers in those games.

Simply because ETQW is a great game. It especially shines when you have played many of the other trash games that have been released since ETQW.

When there is no single game to focus on competitively, I like to pub quite a few games. COD, ETQW, QuakeLive, Brink, TF2, W:ET. ETQW shines due to it’s high skill cap when it comes to aiming. I personally feel like many of the skills that are developed in ETQW directly translate to other FPS games.

Ticked em all :slight_smile: QW is still the best online game out there by a long shot.

Great reactions guys. I fully agree with BMXer, if you know how to move and shoot in ETQW you can deal with any other FPS shooter.

For the lag, it guess its very depending which server from which location you join. Last months I have been playing lag free with a stable 60/120 fps and a ping of +/- 5. (yes I am almost sitting on the server).

(Slade05) #19

I play it because there is no other game like it!

Please, god, make SD develop the next one, with completely totalitarian control from id.

I love it because its two factions whilst similar play completely different.

I love it because the objectives can be achieved in many different and imaginative ways (like air dropping).

I love it because it rewards team play and lone wolfing, depending on your mood you can take either route.

I love it because the maps are varied and open and do not funnel players into killzone/choke points.

I love it because its the only game to get vehicles right in my opinion, they are powerful, they are fast but they are weak.

I love it because the deployable’s are useful and worth the effort to put up and are feared deterrents.

I love it because despite the games limitations players are free to come up with their own unique ways to attack/defend.
