ET: Quake Wars Delay

Frans points out that GameSpy's Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Diary from yesterday includes the revelation that Splash Damage's multiplayer shooter is delayed until next year:

It's also been a challenging year, as the team here has given extraordinary effort towards completing the game this year. Unfortunately, sometimes effort isn't all you need -- sometimes you just need more time. To ensure the quality we want, we've decided to push the release out of 2006 to allow for extended testing, feedback and game balancing.

The fact people still claim that makes me laugh. I tried that game out way back when on a friend's recomendation "Oh yeah! This is so realistic!"

No....

Its fun as hell but yes, its not a a realistic wargame. If you think about it, super realistic war games like flight simulators can be quite boring (for some). Tribes is still unique even today, but it has a lot of wargame style battle elements. I think that why some compare it to real war games. Plus theres two types of play. Folks who play it in a more warfare strageic style with vehicles etc. Then there is the hardcore lot that play a more esport style with jet skiing and routes. Its gameplay that can be intimidating to those not familiar with it, but if you get it, nothing will ever compare in your mulitplayer gaming life (non realistic FPS wise). The jetpack was such a brilliant concept to deal with making a faster playing FPS fun even on large maps. You know other franchises want to, but havent gone the jetpack route because you know there will be instant Tribes comparisons. Although I think Quake Wars will have a type of jetpack but I could be wrong.
