I don'tknow crysis seems to have a lot more hype than I ever saw for quake wars so maybe it still can be big. But ya lower system requirements are a big plus for quake wars.

You are right, but.. Have you played sewer in the first BETA? As soon as the battle goes inside the medics and technicians take over.
Point is, the type of actions are really map-dependant. Valley is quite vehicle based up until the 3rd objective. From there it's infantery mania

I am interested in how free roaming vehicles will effect the feel. I disliked battlefield becuase the maps were too big and it all felt unfocused. I felt I could not make much of the difference to the game.
In ET I felt I could contribute to progressing my side.

Does it still suck like the 2 previous betas?

If you disliked the BETA 2 with Valley, yes, it's still mostly the same game. So that will mean you won't have to waste 750MB bandwith. Thank you, bye bye!

Yes. You'll be quite ok.

The link doesn't work for me.
Is it just the new catalyst drivers that were posted today?
I'm an FPS nut, but after the disappointing first impression with the betas, I'm going to wait to see how the general impressions of the game are from people that felt similarly to myself. There are too many games coming out over the next couple of months for me to spill cash on something that I'm not sure will deliver.

The beta ran like shit on my system, will the demo run crap also?

I too was disappointed with the betas. This demo does not change my opinion. Too much coming out and it just doesn't stand out enough to me to be interested in it.

And you can tell by playing 1 hour? Too bad you have your opinion out so quick. It's a really deep game. Give it some time and you don't want to play anything else!

I downloaded the demo from Gamespot. Took about an hour.
The beta had the worst pub atmosphere of any team game I have ever played - even BF2 has a higher quality of play/goal orientation - and that was a self-selected group of people who wanted to actually try the game. After playing Warhawk I just don't have the patience for putting up with people with less common sense then the in-game bots.
Plus the game just seemed bland and dated <shrug>. Maybe some magic will happen if their promises to the mod community pan out and people actually bother to work on the engine due to the push to only play ranked maps (which killed the BF mod community more then the lack of usable tools).

I've spent more than 1 hour across the 2 betas and the demo. Nothing's changed significantly from the first beta, with the exception of a new map.

Pretty good game, feels buggy. 20 fps max sucks hard. (i have 6600)
edit: damn it feels really cheap..

Ah... good stuff. Just finished up playing a 6 map campaign (of the same map, heh) and had a hellofa lot of fun doing so, laying down the old artillery spam as a Strogg Oppressor.
EXP progression seems faster than the beta, frame rate seems improved, and netcode seems less laggy, although all of that might just be the server I was playing on.
I don't think this will keep me from TF2 if the open beta for that is hitting tomorrow, but this is everything I wanted from a sequel to RTCW:ET with added vehicles.
EDIT:
Anyone know how likely a Steam release for this game will be? id have moved their back catalogue to Steam, but I dunno what they're going to do with new titles, and frankly putting RTCW:ET on Steam would have seemed a no-brainer to me...

Demo's not working for me (7900GTX, AMDx2 etc.), it starts up, goes to a really small resolution and freeze up, the beta worked fine though...

Played for a bit there, not particulary impressed but then again I didn't know exactly wtf I was doing.
Still it's choppy as hell, I'm getting weird graphics corruptions (in other games too) think my 1950pro might be dying.
Oh and I also experienced 3 snipers standing behind my spawn killing people spawning, nice. (I went up there and kill them all yay)
Oh and is it just me or is the netcode terrible? The jerkiness is rediculous, are there any command I can tweak with.
