    i was wondering does anyone play QW? i have played the demo and it was great but im wondering what the full games like?

    i also heard that the game was just W: ET but with different skins, i may have only played one game but to me they are nothing alike is the full game any different from the demo?

    I think very few people actually play this online, which is never a good sign. The demo seemed fun enough but it just never took off I don't think.

    I play in full servers. Sadly the game wasn´t very successfull in salles, but always there is 4-8 servers full of players when i play.

    Lot of people dislike the game, but i love it.

    my user name is "d.ream"

    ps> sorry for my english

    I'm not much into futuristic shooters or sci-fi, assuming that's the category this falls under. But I heard a lot about this game because I dabbled in the free ET WW2 game. I guess this game was in dev for quite some time? Too bad it didn't pan out, that's sad to hear.

    On a side note - how long is the previous game going to last. I mean people are still playing that?!?

    but the vehicles are cool

    You know, if Quake Wars is unpopular, I sure haven't noticed. I can always find at least a couple good servers to play on.

    I don't even like online games and I'm awful at Quake Wars, but the game is a lot of fun and I give it a hearty recommendation. To me, it's like a cross between UT2k4's Assault mode and Team Fortress 2's class system. In massive environments.

    I don't know. I think it's pretty sweet, and I hate gaming online.
