Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (beta)
 

Yeah, that game.

So anyway, since a few people seem pretty excited over it, I thought we could try to get a playing group together. We have several GFFers playing the beta already, so if you'd like to join, mention it here along with your user name, when you'd be available to play, and preferably your xfire name and which class/role you play as in the game (if applicable). We'll try setting up dates and times to play and get a list compiled of all those that are playing it.

If you haven't played Quake Wars much (or at all) yet, I'd suggest you look over the newbie guide to the game to learn the basics. More information can be found in the other Quake Wars thread. If you've played Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory or Battlefield 2/2142, you should be able to get a grasp on this game pretty quickly. Luckly, there's a pretty functional friend/messaging system built in (although no voicechat), so once you have other members on your list it should be pretty easy to join them.

The game is currently only available in closed beta, with keys being given out to Fileplanet subscribers. If you don't have a beta key, but would still like to try it with your fellow GFFers, send me a PM and we should be able to work something out.

Sounds fun, I'm in.

Player Name: Free.User

The ET:QW Demo was just released, which is pretty much the same thing as the beta (+ more balancing). It has the one Valley map, with online and offline modes. Grab it here, and hopefully we can start playing it soon. Don't forget the game hits October 2nd.

And a fantastic demo it is too. I'm up for playing with you guys - Xfire: Thalin (classes vary)

I installed this demo and it lagged all to hell. It was so bad I could hardly move my mouse cursor, something that hasn't happened with any game recently. Fraps read my FPS no higher than 10. I'm running Windows XP @ AMD Athlon XP Dual Core 2.1Ghz, 2GB RAM, nVidia Geforce 7900 GS 256MB GDDR3.

No idea whats going on with you. I run an AthlonXP 3000, 1.5gb ram and a XFX 7800GS and it runs perfectly fine on medium.

Seeing as the game comes out in less than a month, we should probably wait until then before we start a clan. By the time we gather enough people, we'll have to switch over anyway. I know I, for one, will be buying the game as soon as it comes out.
