2 xeon with wildcat card,yeah crap.

it looks ****ty,i was hoping for more but,it left only hope...

you played a little q1,2,and you qualify for what,i played space invaders when they were made,so?

.. and not games. Wildcat cards are not for games, simple as that. And you can have as much xeons as you want but with a non-game video card your CPU power won't cut it, simple as that.

Sounds like a graphics workstation to me; aren't those drivers optimized for CAD programs and the like?

theres your answer. It runs like however it runs on your pc (i hope you dont have it on ultra or high settings....)

Please dont hate when a game is great but for tech reasons you dont like it.

i dont hate it,i bought it,just that i've expected more.

if you check the threads i post,in pc gamer section,it is all mods for d3,and stuff,i like the engine,but the game is ruined,and too narrow.

and my hardware runs it just fine but i still dont like it,and hardware is not my reason.

i did not raise this question due to hardware reasons,but for the game itself,and to base q4 on this,it is silly.

i like the mods however,that is why i bought it in the first place.

You are contradicting yourself. First you say it is silly to base Q4 on D3 engine because D3 doesn't contain any story and too narrow as you say, yet you DO like the mods for D3. But you do realise that Q4 is completly different game with a different story behind it and that id Software pretty much made D3 only just to show off their new engine so to speak. Certainly it's a game, but putting much effort into stories it is not their main goal anymore, hence why they hired a professional writer for the story. Raven on the other side focuses more on stories and the actual game, hence why they use a non-inhouse engine. And just because D3 engine renders the way it renders doesn't mean Q4 will be the same as D3. Certainly in some graphic aspects it will, but what does that has to do with the actual story.

Also as far as I know Raven has always produced kick ass games and all of them were hits, so why should this one be a quick mock with a silly story as some say? Just because it uses D3 engine? Please, do stop linking engine and the story as it doesn't make any sense.

man, you make no sense... "and to base q4 on this" <----- they are using the D3 engine, thats its, thats all they are using, they are not basing Q4 on D3 :no: Then Soldier of Fortune 2, Jedi Knight, Heavy Metal, MOHAA, etc, all of them are based on Q3? Did they get affected because Q3 its just multiplayer? No! Its just an engine

ugh I gotta upgrade my pc soon.....i really want to wait for a nforce4 board though but I don't know how much longer I can keep waiting.....

You may as well just upgrade if you need to because there's always going to be something better around the corner. I remember wanting the original GeForce when it came out but it was too expensive, so I decided to wait for the price to come down. By the time it did the GeForce 2 was out as well as some nice Radeon cards, so I wanted one of those and ended up waiting some more. I finally got a Radeon or I'd probably still be waiting. :)

Probably will be crap. Unless they manage to make it like Call of Duty or something along those lines. The setting looks kind of crappy too, who are these aliens and why do they look like that? Too cartoony for my tastes.

I don't have much confidence in Raven based on their recent track record, and the founders have all left, the people remaining are Activision corporate lemmings remaking the same game over and over.

heh

this is d?j? vu

it looks just like DOOM3 with new characters... even the scenery looks the sam:(:(

it sucks...bhoooo

i can't agree more! in fact for someone who doesnt know what this is, might consider it as a Doom 3 expansion pack:blush:h:

but i hope the gameplay is better than Doom 3 (it does mentioned about fighting along squadmates)
