Quake Wars Beta Released!

[dissonance]

oh shit, i am down to play this.

is the beta available in linux flavor?

[ReNo]

Sorry JeanPaul, but were those gigantic screenshots meant to convince us the game looks sexy? I'm afraid it still doesn't look any better than BF2 Still, I haven't played it yet, so here's hoping it plays a little different/better.

Unfortunately they seem to be out of beta keys, so we'll probably have to wait for the demo to be release. n__n But I suppose the demo and full version'll be available for both mac and linux... or atleast I believe it'll be released for those two things...

For fuck's sake Jean if you post another screenshot that big I swear I'm going to find that thing that lets you stab people in the face over the Internet and put it to good use! 1024x768 is perfectly sufficient for a screenshot.

It still looks crap anyway, compared to the hype screenshots. It reminds me of Quake 3 a lot with all the blockiness.

I think it looks much better than BF2 myself. It's just a retina-melting bloom away from next-gen. If anything screenshots that big detract from it as you can see all the edges and your whole monitor is taken up by a grass texture even at a respectable resolution.

Won't comment on the gameplay as it's not for me, personally don't enjoy FPS that much these days, and never really enjoyed ones where you have to run around like a blue-arsed fly recapturing stuff to win.

Sorry Taylor, but even with bloom, it still don't look next gen for me:

It's still blocky, lacking of grass, with a bland lighting

Next-gen bloom needs to make your eyes melt from your skull.
