 So lame I'm selling it... December 28, 2007
2 out of 11 found this review helpful
I received this game as a gift and it simply wasn't very much fun. Gameplay is unrealistic and hyperactive. I honestly didn't bother learning much about the in-game goals or teamwork...it just wasn't interesting or involving enough to dedicate the time.
I enjoy FPS games and just beat COD4 and I'm working on Bioshock and Crysis...none of these are phenomenal (when compared to HL2) but all are better than QW:ET.
 Completely underrated. Fantastic team-based FPS. December 12, 2007

I can't believe how many people don't play this game. The gameplay is so addictive I'm reluctant to play it because I know I won't be able to stop until I've passed out.
Every time I play the same campaign, the outcomes are completely different. This is because the game is totally contingent upon team dynamics. If your team has good communication, proper class distribution, and the right skills you will win, but if your team is comprised of a bunch of lone-stars, you will get no where. This forces you to play through many different classes, and use many different skills from infiltration, shooting, sniping, driving vehicles, creating traps, etc.
The distinctions between Strogg and GDF are subtle but make a profound difference in gameplay. The primary weapons for each side offer unique benefits and drawbacks (such as the different methods of reloading between the lacerator and assault rifle). The strogg technician and GDF medic are parallel classes but play totally differently. Each side also has different vehicles and special abilities that create a well-balanced, yet diverse playing experience.
The teamwork in Quake Wars is much more intuitive and easy to comprehend than BF2's. The objectives are clearly laid out, and you can choose which objective you want to pursue. It is also made clearer by the fact that the objectives are typically connected to your class, which creates distinct roles for every character and ultimately facilitates teamwork because everyone knows what they're supposed to do.
There is also a great element of strategy in this game. Where you drop your defense-turrets, how and when you call in artillery strikes, etc. make the game feel somewhat like an RTS. There is so much depth to the gameplay.
Finally, the graphics are so nice to look at and the game is playable on older machines (albeit on low settings). However, even if you are dropping the image quality, you'll forget about the graphics because you'll be so immersed in the actual game - which is something many recent FPS games lack!
Very polished, very fun November 26, 2007

I'm always a little wary when I buy a new cutting-edge title for my 2-year-old PC. On one hand, I really hate turning all the eye-candy down. On the other hand, I'm not quite ready to buy a new PC just yet.
But this game runs beautifully with all options (except for resolution) set to maximum. I have resolution set to 1680x1050 (running a GeForce 7800 on a single processor Dell XPS system) and it runs smooth as glass.
No glitches, no crashes, beautiful graphics, good menu system, and fun gameplay. A very polished product, totally recommended.
 Great game November 21, 2007

Amazing game. Unlike Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, this game has teams which are drastically different. Vehicles on land air and water. And deployables!
Amazing team play. If you're coming from W:ET, you may not like it first hand. But if you just hang on to it, you'll like it even better.
And the other main reason why I bought this game is 'coz it runs natively on linux.
A new dimension with team speak! November 14, 2007

This is a great game but with team play the only way to unlock this game's full potential is with teamspeak, voip or other ways to communicate with your team mates. I have since joined a clan for my first time and it has tremendously increased the fun and in depth strategy potential of this game. Otherwise you will find yourself going in one direction while everybody else is going there own way and nothing is getting accomplished.. Even this can be really fun but when you really play as a team there is no better game I know of and I have played a lot .It is a 4 star game playing it by yourself and 10 stars when you are playing with a team. Get it and get on board some team. Gaming will never be the same and that is a good thing!
