I picked up ETQW yesterday and so far it’s so-so for me.  The game is nice but it’s a lot more skill kill than the Battlefield series so it’s going to take some getting use to.  I would have never thought that out of the game after announcement but I’m not doing so great on KDR (which I typically don’t, it’s usually more strategy that I score with).  I’ve not found that strategy yet but it’s still early for me and I didn’t really play the beta much and maybe one or two games in the demo.

The game does look very good and smooth playing.  WTF is up with ID and not requiring a DVD to play?   This was a great surprise and I have no idea other games require them on games that you have to register with.  BF2142 is for registered users only but yet I have to use the game DVD (still) as does BF2 (still requiring the DVD).  Thanks to ID for not requiring you to scratch up your disc by constantly swapping it for other games.  I typically try to find something at GameCopyWorld to avoid this but BF2142 is questionable since I had lock up issues with the modified code and I obviously don’t want banned for using a cracked EXE even tho I bought the game.

I’ll get some more screenshots of ETQW up soon.
