Quake Wars and Battlefield Bad Company

[Rob P]

Installed both demos on the 360 last night having never played any of the previous versions of the games.

Bad Company seemed crap? I try to avoid EA games and this seemed to be more about "funny" dioluge than gameplay. I know a few PH'ers enjoyed it, should I give up or keep on playing?!

On the other hand I loved Quake Wars, different enough from COD4 with the objective based idea and interesting take on different weapons. Great! Anyone else tried it?

Only on the PC.

I'm guessing 360 owners can't play PCs?

...because the PC owners, with their keyboards and mice, would pound the 360 players into the dust.

...probably.

I love ET:Quake Wars on the PC. Great pick-up-and-play game. Less po-faced than BF2142.

I was hoping that they'd be able to play PC owners so I could beat someone for a change.

I haven't played it much this year. My brother is the expert on this. He was head-hunted from one clan to another better one.

I thought Quake Wars was god awful.

No probably about it.

Battlefield2 on the PC was one of my favorite games ever (along with the original Ghost recon). I got my Bad Company game through yesterday for the PS3 and was really dissapointed. I was hoping it would be better than COD4 (which I think is brilliant)...but it doesnt come close...

I think its a different game to COD4, Alot of people i have hear are trying to compare the two when it should be seen in its own light.


I have been playing the demo multilayer most this week and i find the style of game better than COD

Thats a fair point, but it can be compared to BF2....and in that comparision, there is no comparison...if you get my drift.

thats true . . although i have never played that!

And i seem to suck badly at COD but do OK on battle field!

Your only at a low rank in COD though so haven't got the weapon & perks at your disposal.

I'll download quakewars tonight as already have battlefield.

Have not Tried quake wars,have not heard much about it. BFBC is a great idea but not executed that well, it's to lagy and does not feel free in the movement, they still have not bettered BF1942 Desert combat for playability and skill.

BFDC was the greatest online shootem up, with huge maps and 100 people servers, in a tourney with tactics and strategies, with people assigned roles and vehicles, it simplay was the best experience, BF2 did not match up and BFBC has not either.

Mouse FPS is unbeatable, you cant rocket jump with a control pad.

COD4 is the closest yet to the playability of BF1942, it is an excellent online game.

I can RJ in Team Fortress 2 quite fine with the 360 pad.

Mouse + KB is better though, I agree.

No probably about it.

I watched a thing on the TV a while ago where they got one of Microsofts PC/360 crossover games and pitched a PC Clan against a 360 Clan, and guess what, the 360 Clan beat them quite convincingly.

I don't remember all the details as such, just stuck in my mind as I though KB&M would beat a joypad anyday.

So I guess there is just a sniff of 'probably' as opposed to not at all....

IIRC there was an Unreal Tournament variant where PS2 players and PC players could join the same servers.

Let's just say it didn't go at all well for the PS2 players.

I believe I heard that Microsoft retard the controls a bit for the PC players to level the field a bit ??
