quake wars – blek

Quake wars, the official game, arrived at my door today and I just got done playing it for a while. I played it for a full round against the computer because this way I know that other user’s aren’t screwing with me affecting my opinion.

Sure, I had a chance to play the demo when that opportunity first came about. I tried to enjoy it.. I really wanted to enjoy it. However there were many things that still needed to be fixed tweaked. So, I figured that I would wait until the actual game was released before formulating my final thoughts.

Well, the game is here and so is my opinion. The is crap not as much fun as I was hoping. There are several inadequacies with the game that make it less fun that I had hoped. I played one round and now I am ready to go back to Battlefield 2142… who did it right.

What’s wrong with the game?

• controls seems to be incorrectly placed on default
• vehicles have poor physics and poor steering
• the chatter is annoying
• it sounds like a screwed up game of Counter Strike (sound effect)

You know.. that’s enough. I don’t want to completely rip the game. Perhaps I just need to play it for a few weeks and get used to it. BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THAT!

   BF2142 is excellent for vehicles. The handling is just right. I was really put off with the QW demo, just because it didn’t feel like I was in control of anything. It felt like I was playing War Rock. bleh.

   I guess demos make or break my decision sometimes.
