I'm having fun with Quake Wars but it really is frustrating when your team has its dick up its own ass and cannot form a cohesive defense. We were playing the map with the Salvage (can't remember the name, the one after The Ark, in northern Europe), and the Strogg have to plant a bomb on a jamming generator. They were constantly getting up to the generator and placing bombs. The only line of defense? Me. I must have gotten 30 headshots and almost ran out of ammo before one of the guys I killed made his way to the tower and managed to flush me out. After that point our entire defense crumbled. They had an Engineer on the Mining Laser in seconds and no one there to do defense except, again, me, but I was a half second too late. Then they were at the Salvage and blowing it to pieces within a minute of that.
I saw like 3 guys dicking around on the far side of the map. If I get frustrated with Quake Wars I think I'll load up TF2 or Halo 3, but I'm already sitting pretty on a nice number of FPS games so I ain't complaining about that. Call of Duty 4 will make all 4 keep me busy for a year.

Ah well, aside from the official f13.ea.hate, BF2/2142 is pretty much the same kind of thing, but with the nice squad-based-voice and commander aspects. QW looks nice, but I'm just not feeling it, even after playing against bots.
