Quake Wars Beta 2 Review

Quake Wars has two betas, Sewer and Valley. Sewer being the first beta that was a very small map. It was also easier for GDF (Global Defence Forces). And tougher for Strogg (The aliens attacking earth) because the tasks to prevent were difficult. Quake Wars has great graphics and water effects. The weapons layout depend on which team and what character class you are playing.

The Strogg has futuristic alien technology. Including ; shield gun, rail gun and the Tormentor. Which flys using the mouse to move up and down and some special assigned keys. GDF has things like the husky and the Titian (Which is like the GDI medium tank in Renegade Command and Conquer). It has three objectives each one is unlike than the last. The video indicated below is the Sewer map.

The valley map on the other hand is larger and has more water and GDF has boats that are useful in sneaking up on Strogg to complete the last 2 objectives.

Boats are very useful by taking advantage of a water tunnel that connects to a passageway which leads into Strogg’s shield generator.The boats are very sink too.

Strogg must mine the path into the second base otherwise you will be sent to the last base and if GDF gets through they win and you will lose the battle. But it is tougher on GDF because the map is larger and holds greater objectives.

Which include; constructing a bridge, deploying the MCP, and to fire a SSM and destroy the contamination facility. Strogg has to prevent these things from happening. Luckily they usually don’t get past the second stage unless they are really good and work as a team. Every move effects your team. Being a team game means working together, something many games can”t seem to master, btu in Quake Wars it’s kinda forced on you.

If you do not you are certain to lose. This is one an amazing game. It’s very realistic and during warm-up you are allowed to kill you’re team mates. But ofcourse do not kill them after the match begins. Otherwise complaint may be filed against you. Too many complaints filed against you you could be kicked or baned. Here’s a tip if you see a red circle on the map do not stand there. It signifies an object will land at that place and it will kill you. The game will be released sometime in October. It will have up to twenty maps. And it’s a great game. I would think about purchasing it if I were you!
