Default Quake Wars beta.

Anyone other than me an yunk playing it?

So far, I think it's fun. I spent most of my time experimenting with the different character classes, which all have pretty broad and unique attributes.

My favorite classes so far are the Constructors and the Oppressor's. I enjoy both classes mostly because those two classes are the ones that build defensive structures.

The Oppressor builds mortar's, each of which do differnet amounts of damage, and different warm-up periods.

The map in the beta, and the only map in the beta is Sewers. The Strogg are defending, and trying to stop the GDF from constructing an EMP disruptor. It's very much like the Assualt game mode in UT2k4.

The map is sized very well IMO. It isn't too big so that it takes you forever to get to an area, and it isn't too small to where things are cramped. Nothing like the massive maps in BF2.

The beta runs fairly well on my system, 7600gt, Opteron 148, 1 gig of ram, with the game running on Vista. I can easily run the game with all settings maxed, and it is a pretty game. There's loads of eye candy to be had, wether it be the heat waves emitting from the bottom of tanks, of the massive lazer that can be deploy'd by sattelite to reak havoc with.

I havn't encountered and lag problems, and the only bugs I have encountered is that it has locked up three times so far.

Well, time to go play some more.

When I said it ran well on high settings, I lied...

It bogs down to unplayable framrates most of the time, turning the settings all the way down doesn't seem to do anything..

Bit dissapointing so far, due to the LAG.

Its kind of blurry too. More later.

I think the beta is closed or something, FilePlanet tells me when I try to get it.

I've managed to unlock the 30fps cap, it's stupid simple, I just didn't read the beta forums.

I still find the game to be very fun. Once you figure out what use each class has, and how to use them to complete the objective at hand, it's such a blast.

I've been playing it for the past week, and I love it. IMO, they've done really well - taking the format that the Battlefield franchise has popularised, and added a good pinch of spice for people who really can't be arsed trekking 16 miles to yet another missile silo/control point. It's definitely a very worthy follow up to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. I used to play that loads.

A few things niggle at me; for example the sound effects are poor, and you can't really pinpoint where fire is coming from because of this. Also, what is point of a friends list if there isn't a 'join your friend on server' option?

Favourite classes so far: soldier and covert ops. I like having a machinegun at my disposal, and being able to plant explosives is especially useful on the map available. Also, being Strogg covert ops and flying that camera bomb is sweet...and I love dressing up as GDF and being all sneaky :sneaky:

I can usually be found skulking around the i3D and Rackage EU servers, so if you see me give me a shout. I've preordered the game and reserved my handle, so if y'all see a dude called reflux pwning all, that's me

ha Waffles my system is almost identical to yours so I got excited when I read that you were playing it on max. Oh well.

Too bad I'm stuck with my crappy connection at home. I'll have to wait until school

You'll enjoy it.

Mind you, settings maxed to me, means everything set up to max, but keeping the AA to 2 and AF to 8.

It does get crap fps in the building outside, but I believe thats just bad coding.
