You have got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[Got Haggis?]

just a rumor, most sites have it listed for being released in june. i know they are in closed beta now so i have a hard time believing a beta would last half a year....

 

[Hugo]

This games looks like the shit. I can't wait. Time for an upgrade I guess!

 

[hilo]

No one should have to upgrade too much. It's been said if you can run doom3 and quake4 then you can run this, or rather, how those performed is how QW will perform.

is this a first person shooter?

Performance is more crucial in a multiplayer game though, and I really doubt that the massive external areas with many players going around will perform as well. Or, you'll need low view distances.

is this a first person shooter?

Yes

I mean, I'm running a 3700+ 64 with 2gb of ram and a 6800 Ultra, I should hope I wouldn't have to upgrade to enjoy this game with a little eye candy.

 

[DudeofDeath]

They said last Fall at first, then 1st Qtr. 2007, then June 2007, and now that article says it'll be released This Fall....


It best be good...

I'm on an XP 2700+, 1 GB of slowish RAM, and a 9800 Pro. I'm betting I will. I want to anyways; playing games on low with less than 30 FPS is getting tiring. The computer has lasted a long time though.

That last screenshot might as well be raindance with two extra bases.

it better last at least 6 more months

Well mine anyways, I'm riding the same thing but the current generation of GFX cards, while performance monsters, leave a little something to be desired with size/power consumption.

Supposedly second gen vista architectures are going to address that.

ATI should be revealing the R600s soon (next week, hopefully). Nvidia's current gen stuff has been somewhat disappointing.

The 88xx's are pretty good performers. Their Vista driver's lick ass though.

I'm sad that ATI killed off the AIW line. I had 2 AIW's in a row

Enemy Territory : Quake Wars - GDF Tutorial - Google Video

Looks like about 6 different games combined... some of it they arn't even hiding.

Battlefield games: The vehicles
Wolfenstein ET: The classes and level objective design
Tribes: Mapping... jetpacks ect.
Quake: Its in the title?
Halo: Space marines and aliens look really really similar not that those two are anything new.
CNC: GDF and the human vehicle design screams it.

^ Recipe for success however so I wont complain. Rip out all the good parts of those games and smash them all together with some shiny graphics FTW!

 

[Theta]

^ Don't forget the jetpacks of tribes

 

[Evil Light Bulb]

They have skiing.

It's less than double the performance of the X1950 though, and yet a great deal more expensive. Two X1950s are less expensive than one 8800 GTX, and perform a good deal better. Of course, they'd be more power hungry and hot as well, but .

This and Crysis are pretty much the only reasons to stay into PC gaming.
