ET: Quake wars has its ups, but unfortunatly its weighed down by its downs...
ok if you are looking for a great bot match, this is it. Oh or go rent shadowrun. Both have really good PVP simulation. However online both games struggle with lag as well as replayability. In the age where Halo can make a game that records your battles and forge allows you to build unique scenarios, This game is seriously lacking.
Some of the big bad issues. The feats system is non existent. You find yourself getting these awards flash on your screen, but then try and figure out what you have and what you can do with it, good luck. Also the tutorial sucks, and with a game as complex as this they could have taken a lesson from shadowrun and made a very detailed tutorial. ALSO there is no story line. The missions could have easily been streamlined into a seriously good story. But they didnt. ANd my last grief is the load times are long. not too long, but still having to wait more than thirty seconds for anything nowadays sux.

well thats my 2 cents, and with this game im gonna ask for my change back.
See u on live

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is an online shooter that reaches into decent territory at its best. It tries to blend fast paced action with a class based shooter, but doesn't do either very well. Some cool ideas are present, and there are some redeeming factors, but very few willl want to spend the time to find them. In the end a fair shooter, but why settle for this hybrid when you could be playing the better games that are fully fast paced, or fully tactical class based.

Also graphics were sub par, if you care about that kind of thing.

Just can't compete to the PC version

The PC version of this game is great - but the sad truth is that squad-based games go a lot better on the PC than on consoles. I am not sure if it has to due with the audience (I think there tends to be a lot more people who just want to run around and kill stuff on the console shooters - at least that is the case here vs. the PC version). The game requires team-based play, and requires people to handle their respective roles during the game (medics need to act as medics, not try to kill everything that moves, etc.) Bottom line is that it just wasn't ready to be ported over from the PC in it's current state. If you've got a PC, it's worth getting if you can find it in the bargain bin (I got the collector's edition for $20). But save your money, and your rental, and avoid it for the 360. I'd give the PC version an 8.5 out of 10 for comparison here - just to emphasize that the problem isn't the inherent ETWQ game - its the 360 version of it that is the problem. Even playing offline is fun on the PC - the bot AI is great.
