    hmm I may give it another whirl after a couple patches, as the case with beta I always reserve final judgement for the release version.

    And why am I not getting that download rate? :p

    The Dallas server was the only one I could get that crazy download speed at.

    But yeah, people are already discussing plans for a tribes mod for QW:ET. Granted on the quake engine, any real tribes mod would probably feel more like T:V than the originals, but we'll see.

    Deffinetly a good game , alot more strategy than 2142 so the run and gunners will be upset and learning curve to the strogg side for alot of the sterring and guns . Overall very good game and splash damage effects and im sure alot will enjoy it but not everyone.

    Hmmm, they doing just one map or rotating a couple? I've pretty much had it with Valley.

    [edit]They're only giving us access to the Valley map. But they're also including Single Player support so you can run around with a bot filled map looking for key weaknesses.

    The new demo includes some XP tweaks and the spawn point just off the bridge on the way to the Shield Generator can now be captured before GDF hacks the Shield Generator. I'll be d/l it as soon as I can.

    yeah...i took a little bit to figure out what to do where with what class, but since i've played a lot of et:rtcw it was fairly straight forward on a lot of stuff

    have had a decent amount of fun and have gotten pretty high on the score list at the end of a campaign...gotten pretty close to but don't think i've broken 400

    it is frustrating the lack of coordination at times...but hey, its a demo and i'm playing on pubs w/no voice

    I've been playing this for a few nights now on my new machine, as my old one just crashed (to blue screen flashing "are you f@$#%&* kidding?!?!?") when I tried to run it previously.

    I have to admit its kinda fun, but the whole thing feels like quake hepped up on crack.. It's almost too fast, for a game that should be more about tactics than just blunt frags.. The vehicles all feel paper thin, and you either seem to "roxorz" everyone in your path or you die 6 seconds after spawning..

    Maybe if it were tightly coordinated with your teammates it would be better, but right now the concept gets a big "meh".. It's pretty to be sure, but I'd sacrifice looks for decent gameplay any day.

    Any benefit they gain from making a more tactically oriented game they lost by keeping the game flying along like Unreal Tournament.

    I think I'll wait for Call of Duty 4, it seems from all accounts they're balancing things right..

    I enjoyed the quality of the game, and some of the 'strategy' for the Valley map. A good Strogg team can keep the GDF forces at the bridge for a good part, if not all, of the match. As I've not seen the other maps, I can only comment on Valley.

    It still felt like a jumpfest (UT style) but after a bit you can time the players jump. I like the comedic feel of TF2 over QW right now.
