I just spent the last hour downloading and setting up the game only to find out that
1) beach doesnt exist in ET
or
2) no one's playing it

thanks for getting my hopes up

It's #2.
I played it once in ET with like 3 people.
But it's THERE!
 
Primarily online games that rely on having a base community should never push the performance envolope of whatever is the standard gaming setup (which i'd say is a 3500mhz [processor, 7600/x800 256mb gfx card right now) at the time of release.

Also I've bought every single Quake game, and ALL have performed better than I ever expected, based on footage/images i've seen pre-release. Judging from what i've read about Megatextures and how video memory efficient they are, i'm thinking this will be no different.

You must be looking in the wrong place. Try the hh-ops servers. Real nice people, nicely balanced maps, FF on like it should be, XP save off like it should be, extremely good moderation with retards kicked in no time.

Indeed, ET does have a beach level but it's no way as good as the RTCW one.

In the ET Campaign you've got to destroy the grand cannon which is viewing the sea so reinforcements can come in; a nice level still but not as good as RTCW's one.
 
I wonder if you could extract beach.map from rtcw's pk3s and any required textures and put a new pk3 into ETs folder :)

playerspawn entities probably have different names though.
 
this is the reason i'm upgrading soon.

i loved the wolf mp test. i loved rtcw. i loved wolf: et, and think splash damage did an awesome job on it. can't wait to see what they've done with quake wars.

indoor screenshots don't do the game full justice.
 
even if ET had the same beach level, it wouldn't be as good b/c the gameplay has changed so much. it doesn't even feel like RtcW.

at all.
