Decent beta. You can tell they tweaked the guns more so than they did first beta. And I do in fact like the new map a whole hell of a lot better.

oh yay, can play this without a cdkey...
goto server launcher... create a server,put minimum no of clients to what ever u want, , so that bots will fill up...select the map valley.
then on additional parimeters, add +set fs_savepath c:\etqw_server...
load up the game with an offline account, goto lan.. and the game should show up...

Offline/Lan play is disabled, I noticed this after testing the dedicated server utility and attempting to launch the config ingame so I could play the game with the server adjustments only to be greeted by a error message in the console stating that "SpawnServer" is a unknown command.
(The game exe file lacks that command but the dedicated exe has the command enabled.)
You can also do a few things that should be disabled such as check the campaigns and maps even though there's only one campaign profile and map in the beta.
(Open Beta 2 / Valley - checked the PK4 files after decrypting them with a utility.)
EDIT: The above method will also work since when launching the game and dedicated server at the same time one normally gets a save error regarding a few game files, by changing the location those files are saved to you can launch several instances of Quake Wars.
(Didn't know the exact command, thanks!)

I think you get the SpawnServer error, in the dedicated server if the game type isnt set to Objective and the map isnt set to valley... and in case you have trouble finding where the map list is, its under "Rotation"....
Played the game for a little while, got the hang of it with the humans, definitely a fun game... bots were a little hard, needs a little getting used to... they complete objectives and stuff properly as welll... Tried a coupla rounds with the Strogg, and kept getting pawned!
I love the chat interface, its sweet...specially how u can select what you wanna say by moving the mouse to the sides...

Everything feels so 30fpsish. I unlocked the fps, but still, animations and particle effects feel like they were rendered at 30 fps and that's it. Gameplay is fine, but still, BF2142 feels better to me.

this game is still a piece of shit they have wasted way too long making this game & it feels dated & slugish crap. I think it's over hyped & if I wanted to play quake il just stick to quake 4 since it does a better job then this piece of shit...especially concidering like most big gaming companies they've also sold there soul to the advertisment. Fuck it's bad enough we get spammed through e-mail's & other mediums the last thing us consumers want is advertisment in the games we enjoy on a daily basis. So with that being said this is another company I point at them with my middle finger ..I.. peace out

It's really not. Everyone has their taste in games, and as soon as they play a game they personally don't like. They trash talk the game. What I find funny are the ignorant people saying what a piece of shit game it is, how sluggish it's running, how unbalanced it is. People using computers should have to take a test before even operating one cause half of the people playing the game doesn't understand what BETA stands for. The game isn't supposed to be almighty. Their testing it for bugs, it wasn't released for your personal entertainment, and if you don't know how to help test a beta then maybe you shouldn't have tried it in the first place.
Any who, ending my rant, I got my glimpse of the game and I like where there going with it. Clragon, PM me a password you want for your account, im not going to give you the password I use for certain reasons, I'll change it for you then PM you the account.

I'm sure the textures will be a lot better in full release since this is only beta and wouldn't want to make the download super big.

Played a little more yesterday with a few clanmates and I liked it a little more atleast. Performance is alot better as I now can play in 1680x1050 wtih 2xAA and every setting maxed out without hiccups.
The map is a lot better then Sewers, however it requires a whole lot of teamwork on both sides in order to be real entertaining. As for snipers strogg still has too damn easy to take the Icarus to inaccessible place and snipe out the GDF. That is very noticable once the MVP left the tunnel, Strogg can easily take the icarus up the mountains somewhere high and snipe any engineer trying to fix the MVP. Also because they are so damn high up it can be very hard to take them out as GDF sniper.
Ok lets see about the objectives then...
Viewed from GDF
Build brigde
pretty funny objective, would be even better if the previously mention Strogg snipers didn't have that advantage with the icarus. Another "problem" is that Strogg so easily can lob grenades/plasma launcher onto the "building area" and it's very hard to keep any Engineer alive. Solution, put a Hammer on the Stroggs and built it REAL FAST.
Escort MVP
some real nice fights in the tunnel sometimes, mostly the MVP is pretty easy getting through though. When the MVP leaves the tunnel hell begins though. All sides of it are easily accessible for GDF but also the Strogg. A few AVT's will stop the MVP from moving pretty damn fast. Here teamplay is very important, disable all AVT's, tanks, walkers and AT troops quick and protect the one repairing the MVP. When I played we got stuck the entire round trying to move the MVP the last few meters because the team lacked teamplay and were mostly interested in getting revive points as Medic.
Hack the thingie
This is where the map shines a little more IMHO. There are many ways to enter the Strogg base and with the flying helicopter look-alikes it's pretty possible too. The flying look-alikes have to few hitpoints though. One hit from the obligerator (strogg AT/AA) is enough. A mayor PIA to get a lock on to something without getting shot down. Pilot has the missiles and to lock it must be in the middle of the sight. Gunner only has a minigun. I would like it to be reverse. Nothing flying in this game is really much to use IMHO. Fun to fly though. It can be quite hard to get into the Strogg base sometimes, with a lot of AVT, APT turrets it can be a nightmare. Add the walker in "crouched" mode and the tanks are really fucked. Once again hammers, hammers, some other artillery and more hammers is the solution to clean up and then have the team rush. Very doable if you have teamwork. Harder to accomplish on a public server where everyone wants to try things out. When you finally get to the thing to hack be aware of mines as almost every time I've gotten there mines are everywhere, add a few APT turrets, respawning enemies and you realize you have to be 5-6 people to successfully hack the objective. Atleast 2 medics and 2 Spec Ops that can hack.
Plant explosives at the thing
Pure inf combat inside a house here. If you get 4 people in there, atleast 1 medic and 2 with GPMG, it's a piece of cake. Plant the explosive (why not 2 while you're at it) and defend it for a while. Very do able as the Strogg for some reason almost always put most of their energy into stopping more GDF from entering the base instead of defending the objective. Don't ask why it has been that way most times.
I might add something about Strogg later when I have played more...
What I still don't like
Strogg Walker is still so damn good if you can handle it. Find a good spot, "crouch" with it and blast away.
Strogg hyperblaster is still to accurate, does a lot of damage and fires at incredible speed.
It still feels as if strogg is the stronger team, could be because they are defending I do not know until we get a map where GDF is defending.
For some reason I enjoy playing GDF A LOT MORE. Guess it could be because they are easier to relate too. I think I would enjoy the game a lot more if it where humans vs humans. That wouldn't fit the Quake universe though.
Everything that is in the air is to weak, except Icarus which are almost impossible to hit while they're traveling up/down.
Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

The graphics are what you'll get in full version, minor tweaks here and there aside, that is.
