But ETQW was by a seperate dev team all together. id did not make ETQW. Splash Damage did. id are still pumping out generic deathmatch guff so no worries there I guess.

ETQW was garbage. TF2 simple, elegant, GREAT FUN. I’m hardcore id, but after Q3 died… so did id. No more crap id. Get back to the basics (i.e. Quake and fps multiplayer).

RAAAAAAAAAAGE ONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

“Wait, where’s the bloom? Isn’t that mandatory for next-gen graphics?”

Bloom is this gen. Rage is so new that it’s inbetween this gen and next gen. Basically it’s this-gen.5. ;)

The graphics look nice but i wonder what the gameplay will be like. Also, Borderlands looks set to have a similar style of gameplay in the sense of on foot and vehicular combat.

With the lack of marketing Activisions done for all recent id games, I’m surprised they didn’t switch publisher sooner. Good on them.

Almost forgot what an ID logo looked like on a game. They have some big cred in the industry, but it’s slipping in the face of so many superb studios. Hopefully this will stick ID back into the sunshine of our love.

To say QW is a mere rip-off of the BF series is a seriously bitter slap in the mouth to all the people that worked hard on the game. I’ve been following Enemy Territory since it’s RTCW days and loved every second of it. There is more tension, joy, excitement and heartbreak in one single QW match than in all the Battlefield matches in the world. (which largely consists of massive ammounts of dissapointment, acctually!)

Every single map and gameplay feature is so meticulously thought out that it frankly puts most multiplayer games to shame. If anyone reading this plays QW regularly they can add me to thier friends list; “ZenArcade” is my QW handle!

tl;dr – QW is an extension of the original Enemy Territory, NOT Battlefield 2.

Sam . . . I don’t know what to say. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to play QW. Matches last about as long in both games.

Camelcarrot: You obviously haven’t played QW, as BF and QW are completely different in concept and execution. In fact the capture-and-hold gameplay of TF2 is more like BF2. I will now call TF2 a lame contraction of BF2 that doesn’t even have vehicles.

I guess I’m as much of an id zealot as many of you are Valve cheerleaders. Looking back I honestly believe I enjoyed D3 more than HL2. Perhaps it didn’t have the gameplay variety, but the aesthetic (for me) was unmatched till Stalker.

Bring on Rage.

Remember the infamous D3 release when Activision after hyping the game to the gills and then released it with a 10 day window between America and Europe? I suspect iD still remember all the money lost through insane levels of piracy during those 10 days. GJ Activision.

Looks good. I probably only noticed this because I’m replaying Doom 3 at the moment, but did anyone else note the name of the gas station, Mixom Corp?

Deuteronomy: I own ET:QW, and I own TF2.
I’ve played TF2 a lot more because it’s fun, and ET:QW is both horribly difficult to get into, and (for me, at least) far too overcomplicated to be fun for brief periods (some of us don’t have hours to play games!)
