I never played the Quake series to any extent so I am not familiar with the games. I have played alot of BF2 so playing ET was different.

The game feels faster/arcadey than BF2 (or even 2142 from the demo I've played). I think those who were complaining that 2142 is more arcadey and faster than BF2, than wait till you play ET, it's faster/arcadey than both of those games. Faster/arcadey is a subjective term, but from what I know of the Quake series, it's a deathmatch style of game, so maybe that's why ET felt that way. Perhaps those who have played alot of the Quake series can shed some light on that. Maybe the pace will change on the final version.

The game had many of the attributes of BF2, kits, vehicles, that type of thing. I would not say it was a copy, alot of games "borrow" from other games, but I saw the influence for sure.

I can't remember what game mode we were playing, but I got to play the Strogg and Humans sides. The Strogg side is cool. The weapons, vehicles, kits, graphics, were all very well done. One cool thing was that you could shoot the tires off of individual vehicles, say the APC. If you shot one tire, say, you could still drive the vehicle, but it drove like a six wheeled vehicle with only five!

It seemed like the two sides were pushing forward, and not really going back, say like in BF2 where the other team can move back and forth to other flags.

Hopefully the game will fit into the TG style of play.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Once you get past the eye candy, I was wondering if they were going to make it something that actually supported teamplay, or just something that was run-and-gun with some acoutrements borrowed from other titles.

That said, like all other Quake titles, there will be mods...so there is hope that if the game itself is lacking in TG style play, then a Tactical Mod of some sort will be available.
