This is going to be the next game I oogle over until Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2 comes out.
Some older screens and a couple videos are mixed into this quake thread if anyone cares: (I don't feel like digging through it) http://www.forum.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=18104

christ that looks beautiful. too bad I suck at video games.

Looks absolutely insane, and should have some different gameplay for people who aren't Quake vets.

there is a trailer at http://www.enemyterritory.com

World of Warcraft is for pussies.

wow, those graphics are awesome.

except for the explosion, it looks like shit. needs less stretched out transparent sprites and more particles.

haha no ones computer could run that though, i bet this already stretches a geforce 4 to the limit.

Are you kidding? Geforce 4 is probably about 4 years old. You can buy a geforce 7 card for under $50.

And it's based off the Doom3 enigne, which I'd say is one of the best engines for the ratio of eye candy to hardware you get. They can do so much with so little, unlike the piece of shit FEAR engine, which I still like to talk about how bloated their code is.

Funny. And here I was thinking quake was for retards.

For the horde!

I can't stand behind that statement anymore anyways because I found out that Ed McNamara plays World of Warcraft. I was obviously wrong.

PUBLIC BETA COMES OUT TOMORROW

I believe it's new system time also.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU
EVGA 122-CK-NF63-TR SLI motherboard
Memory - OCZ Flex XLC 2GB Kit DDR2 PC2-6400
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Video card (2 of these fuckers running in SLI)
WD Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB HDD
WD 5000YS 500GB HDD

in the beginning I will also be running my good old 32bit copy of winxp pro

I will also pick up a cheap SATA DVD+-RW drive (i'll see how cheap bluray is now though too)
I'll be chucking in my hauppuage tv tuner card if I have room with the shitty PCI slots
I also need to research cases & sound cards
And I'll be using my "old" 24" display

So fucking jealous. It's gonna be a LONG time before "new PC" comes up on the list of things I can afford. "House" is probably gonna come first.

Beta Comes out tomorrow? I'm using a 3 gig Pentium with 2 gigs of ram and a Raedon 9800 pro. Hopefully, that will run it.

Minimum System Requirements
Operating System: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
Processor: Pentium PIII 800 MHz Processor or AMD Athlon
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 2™ or ATI Radeon™ 7000 or higher
CD-ROM: 4X or Faster
RAM: 256 MB RAM

Recommended System Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP
Processor: CPU Pentium 4 2.4GHz or Athlon64 3000
Video Card: Geforce FX 5700 or Radeon 9600 or higher
CD-ROM: CDRom 52x or DVD Rom 16x
RAM: 512 MB RAM

Goody.

Fuck, I knew this would happen. SLI motherboards these days typically have only 1 or 2 PCI slots. The motherboard I chose has 2 pci slots, but 1 of them will be unusable because the 2 nVidia GeForce 8800GTS cards I'm getting will each occupy 2 slots because of their cooling. I'm down to 1 PCI slot now. I'm throwing a sound card in that slot so I guess I can kiss the idea of moving my old PCI tuner card over to this machine goodbye. I'm out of space.
