ok, ive spent the past couple of hours reading up on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and BF2142 alike.
here is my analysis thus far.
QW
for all those people that bitch about "omg lasers are ghay the future games are real lame im gonna go play Quake Wars"..
shut up
id rather have lasers than a gay army like the "Strogg".
from the ET:QW official website
now, for something somewhat interesting: the vehicles will be able to go offroad and do tricks and shit like that, but because of that, the Sir. community will be playing that game, and they are all selfloving douchebags
apparently there will be "objective based" combat, but knowing Quake in general, those objectives will be "capture the flag" or "conquest", just like every other online FPS
QW does have some nifty airlift features and support items tho, like orbital arty from the Strogg, medevacs from GDF
2142
its traditional BF series, with new twists
the new Titan game mode is introduced, which ensures that teamwork will win games, not brute force.
yes, i know, its DICE and EA. big fucking deal.
im not going to elaborate on much about it because you probably know most of the information about it already.
BOTH (similar things)
Hovering vehicles
cloaking/disguising tools
medical/support abilities
both games have a battle for earth
Final Thoughts
i used to be a quake fan. but the BF series is alot more attuned for massive online play, so they know how this shit works. both games will have patches, QW's will probably be effective in stopping bugs/exploits.
==to me, the idea of a cyborg alien race fighting for earth is so gay it makes my eyes bleed, if i read correctly QW will have its own stat tracking system, if that is still in place. the fact of the matter is, Battlefield has its own feel, Quake has its. as you can tell i am a pro 2142 person, but to each is own
your opinions are accepted, along with derail attemps, flames, whatever
i also accept negative karma, if you leave your opinion and your name, otherwise it is not acceptable

umm... wow, how enticingly gay. this sounds more like a bad scifi movie rather than a gameThe dawn of a hellish new age, the Maravding Strogg, cyborg soldiers of the evil Makron, have left the worlds major cities as abandoned smoking ruins. the Strogg come in greed- to Stroggify humanity into spare partsand protien food. the GDF must defeat the Ravaging alien hordes, or face extinction.
