   Enemy Territory: Quake Wars: Demo is up!
  The demo for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is finally out!clicky ye' link to download gaming goodness from yonderYou can get it from a few other places like fileplanet, but you need a paying account with them. Luckily a few places like multiplay have setup an ftp for people. How nice!I'll be putting aside many important assignments later on today to play this game, so I hope to see some some GDnet people on!Edit - BLARG, the download just gave me an error upon unzipping. I don't know if it's just that site (it's the exact same file as the one on fileplanet), the demo itself and effecting everyone, or just my download. Blarg.Edit of the edit - Well in the comments on that site, nobody else seems to be having trouble, so I guess out of the entire internet my download just happend to shit itself. GREAT. But yeah, that site should be fine to download from.[Edited by - boolean on September 11, 2007 8:34:58 AM]
  YES! I forgot this demo was coming out. I'll DL it tomorrow.   ;  *whisper* you might want to cut down on the size of your sig *whisper*The only thing I'm worried about is that in the Beta (I didn't get in though) people were complaining a lot about the 'Valley' map, a few people saying it was the worst map they have played in the last few years. Most people avoided it like the plague, although SD promised to make some tweaks to it. When the demo was announced and SD said the demo map would be the 'Valley' map, people flipped out, screaming "You want to impress people with ET:QW and you give them the worst map there is?! WHAT THE HELL!".So it will be interesting to see if the Beta players still hate the map (since demo players wont know either way if it’s worse than the rest of the maps) or if SD has fixed it up so that it really is a good showcase of the game. It does seem odd that out of all the maps they could have used for the demo, they chose the most controversial =/;  North Americans: FileFront has it, no wait, and I'm getting a few hundred kilobytes a second. Probably worthwhile.   ;  the only quake i really liked was quake 3. im downloading the demo now offa nvidia @ 1/2mb/sec no wait. i hope the gameplay is better than the videos on the site, because they didn't really look like my sort of thing '=/   ;  That is one slick-ass UI.Grumble, choppy graphics. It's almost unplayable for me even on "low" on my 8600GTS; there's no way this is intentional. Does it have some sort of caching period, or does it just not like dual monitors?   ;  At least the download worked for you. I'm getting a 'Pak001.pk4 is corrupt' error, and I just wasted 700mb of my bandwith downloading it [crying]   ;  Looks like other 8600GTS owners are having similar troubles.Makes me wonder why they rejected my particular hardware for the beta program.Edit: Disabling my second monitor makes the game run properly. Yeah, sorry, no. Even STALKER runs with a second monitor enabled, I can find better places to spend $50. Thanks for playing.Edit #2: Looks like it's NVidia's fault; they have a specific option to accelerate OpenGL on all the monitors instead of just some of them. Apparently setting this option to "single display mode" speeds the game back up.[Edited by - Ravuya on September 11, 2007 12:17:36 AM];  Downloading it... will have a go later tonight.   ;  It doesn't seem like anything special. It's like BF2142, except everyone is hopped up on crack.There's three speeds: BF2142 sprinting speed, BF2142 Jeep speed, and BF2142 jet speed. This is encouraging. It doesn't want to waste my time.However, the overall gameplay is pretty finicky; I'm gonna give it another try, but the Quake style of "move really fast hit people with big guns" doesn't work with weapons with such a tiny killbox.
