Should the bucket replace the QW server with a different game? If so, what game? If not, why not? I'll follow this up with a real poll on the games.

replace it with NOTHING. I hardly see anyone on it.. ever. And from a financial standpoint it's sucking funds away from paying for the ETPro server.

I agree no one is ever there and there doesn't seem to be any bucket regulars online ever so I can never try to populate it. But if you want to give it another chance,using ETQWPro you can get a very stable custom map server running with automatic downloads that work.
There's currently a grand total of 2 custom map server and about 3 or 4 etqwpro server that are public. Since by now every competition players can't stand the vanilla spread (I very much agree) maybe installing etqwpro and a few custom map might help populate the server. But there's no guarantee since the only way to populate these servers is to invite people to it.
And in case you were wondering, the current custom maps are pretty damn good and fun. These includes Artic Ice (vehicle madness), Comm Link and Meltdown (infantry), Sky (quake 3 style infantry) and ATW3 (still needs some work). There's also a beta of Brimstone that should be out fairly soon and it looks purty.
Just my 2 cents.

I kinda like QW and I'd play more if more Bucketheads played. But I understand why you want to get rid of it.
Do whatever you think is best.

From a replacement standpoint I would vote for TEAM FORTRESS 2 which I play when the bucket shuts down.
But, it seems financially prudent to lose the money pit instead.

it is a highly over hyped and under played piece of tripe that never should have been built.
Replace the Strogg (and their weapons etc) with WWII weapons of Germanic origin, stylish black leather gear and voice overs from Jurgen Klinsmann, mix in a few tank escorts and gold snatching missions and overall add a sense of FUN which was completely missing from this game by the developers and you might have had a worthy game on your hands.
Dump this junk...... it's a financial burden thats not worth the effort
I say wait for another free game to come out ... people like free... i suggest link which is due to be released soon....
Lets do this in realtime.....

I do believe that I concur with the hairy one's analysis.
The only difference, I blame Best Buy for taking the pre-orders, not the game developers for making QW suck by adding the strogg. They are the root of all that is evil. Of course my new HDTV and Home Theater system that I'm buying myself for my rockin new bachelor pad will come from there....I'm pretty sure they aren't going to allow me to pre-order for a HDTV that hasn't come out yet. And if they do, I'll tell them to talk to Fr3ak and he'll tattoo them. [ edited Jun 14 2008 : 05:49 ]

Battlefield heroes looks fun though i wish there were more bucketheads that played QW. I like it. Just funner playing with people you know, even if its Drake , but since its always empty i hardly play it.
