Now, there was thread a while back on this but it never really got anywhere, anyway..

Which are you people going to buy Quake Wars : Enemy territory from the wonderful ID software, splash damage and Activision, or stay true to EA and Dice, and the bugs, the crashes... never mind....

After thinking about it I've decided I'm going to get Quake Wars, EA/Dice have let me down with their so called patches so I'm moving on to greener pastures. Whilst the game play may stay similar as These videos show, i feel that more attention and care has been put into it's making, for the vehicles each wheel, thruster, anti-grav pad and hull plate has its own physics, meaning that you can shoot off parts of a craft without completely destroying it, you could destroy a thruster making a ship dangerously unstable and forcing the pilot into making a crash landing or shoot the wheels of a Quad bike sending it into a spiral.
The way you spawn is interesting as well, instead of re-spawning at a base miles away from the action you are re-spawned in transports that take you directly to the action, no messing around waiting for vehicles to spawn or 10min journeys across the map, no, now you travel in style.
The classes are relatively the same, the strogg Medics have the interesting ability to Stroggify humans and turn them into spawnpoints. And as with Battlefield 2142 the Sniper and spec-ops are combined..
Anyway, whats your opinion and what are you, if any, going to get?

Edit - Typos

Some info incorrect

I am going with 2142. As much as I have had problems with EA's patches in the past I am hesitant to change games. The last time I played Quake was with the orignal version. Ahhhhhh. Many fond memorys of that game... I am excited to see and play the new type of gameplay. Conquest is good but this might be fun too.

One thing is for sure though, I am going to get my money's worth out of this game before I move on to another. LOL.

Quake Wars.

I'm putting 20:1 odds on 50% less bugs.

2142... Quake got old real fast.
Deathmatch sucks and ctf is dumb. Co-op is ok but I just don't see myself reverting to the same ol' crap. Battlefield series for me guys.

The other Quake games were in opinion pathetic, so i agree with you on the Previous Quakes' this however is totally different to that deathmatch crap, this is BF 2142, Without the inevitable bugs x 1000, oh and with uber leet mutated humans

BF2142 for me

you see people, you can wait and see if the patch is good or not before installing it. That's what i did, and why i'm still with 1.22 until they fix 1.3

it saves time , and avoids unecessary bugs. Yes, it's a bad thing that they are there, but you don't have to worry about them if you don't want to.

Call of Duty 3 and Battlefield 2142 for me. I hope to god CoD3 has recoil. Melee combat should be pretty fun too

Impossible, once you play BF2, you cant go back to those games, having a hit indicator is just far too addicting, plus, you'll miss the action of BF2 and its vehicles

i see some of you people judging quake wars on previous quake games. true mulitplayer in the previous games were shit. but this is going to be like battlefield. but better. read about it first. like that guys Sig says
"Meet the new and improved Battlefield 2142".

seriously go read some stuff about it. obviously if you think its some kind of Quake 3 arena. you don't know much about it at all, just that the name is similar.

i will try both but you have to remember IGN and activision will also release new patches for there game. so i am expecting the same amount of CTD and all the other bugs you get in BF2 to happen to Quake wars. maybe not straight away but defiantly in the future same with BF2142 i will just have to live with the bugs.

For me it's Quake Wars for sure! And Dilbert2468 is right...you can't compare Quake III (Arena) or Quake IV with Quake Wars. It's more like the good old "Wolfenstein-Enemy Territory" with it's mission based maps. I enjoyed playing maps like Goldrush, Fueldump or Oasis....sweet! I'm looking very forward to Quake Wars! But I won't say BF 2142 is a bad game!
