I read some of the comments on ESR and Xfire and I was amazed at how people feel they can slate a game before they have even seen it/ played it … Splashdamage did a wonderful job with ET and I can’t see any reason why ET:QW should be any different.
What a lot of people seem to forget is that SD came from the gaming community … they know how important gameplay is. have some faith people …
Exactly.
People were always moaning about something, be it Quake1, Quake2, Quake3, RTCW (OMG zombies, it will suck… remember it?), or Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory.
If you don’t believe, go to 60+ page of this forum and read for hours how crappy the W:ET is, how is it just a cheap Battlefield clone, how is it unfair that you can’t kill everyone with a sniper legshot like in Q3F, and how much more 1337 the RTCW was; read posts of prophets who said people would never switch from RTCW to W:ET and so on.
Basically, stupid people tend to idealise one game and are certain there will be no better game, ever. And it won’t change.
What’s interesting is that is that 95% of complainers are always so-called pro players . Newbies, by comparison, complain very little, unless a game has some fatal flaws (see any of EA or Westwood (c&c) games for reference)
as far as i’ve read, the objective is centralized, i.e. not like in bf2 where you have stupid flags all over the map and everyone is doing some stuff anywhere.
so as far as i’ve seen from the videos, you can easily see where the action is, it’s there where the smoke comes up, so that’s the direction where you head to. if the noobs head into the other direction, then they’re strogg food. flee, noobs, fleeeeee!!! 
I hope it will be not to much like bf2! 
btw, won’t there be any free tapir mod made by sd for etqw?(it would be cool for bots to frag them) 
bf2 sucks. especially the game design. ever since i saw the commercial where they were proud that a rocket could fly through a helicopter (without doors), i knew they didn’t focus on game design. it’s only about graphics. it’s EA, that should say it all.
Actually kinda sad, Desert Combat was still fun to play from time to time. (Given it was a free mod to bf1942)
I believe EA bought out the team behind it.
Yea they did, im actually a tester for the new DC for bf2, they recently released ctf for bf2 but anyway hopefully that release date on amazon is correct

well i gota admint that bf2 is not my favorite game, and there are some pretty big faults in it (not to mention bugs) but it gets a lot more bad press than it deserves. For pub play its crap but with a good clan teh game becomes a lot more fun
but hopefuly ETQW will be more suited to pub play
And also that these same people were the guys moaning when W:ET came out, and it was not ‘rtcw enough’
