Enemy Territory
Quake Wars



Coming to a PC near you.

I saw this on G4 / TV today and it looks sweet. It’s not your ordinary Quake game. It looks more like the Fear Game being played outside. Nice .

Mission based = good.

Trying to find a forum or FAQ on it. Does it have MP COOP vs BOTS or is it PvP only?

EDIT: Found a Home made trailer someone made from E3. Has some cool music too:

Fight the Buffalos ?

Could that be an Alien race ?

From one of their screen shots it appears that an Alien Landing Assault Craft is under fire while dropping it’s cargo of troops.

Woo , ok it’s got my attention now.


Anyways , if that’s the way the combat really looks during the game , than I’m sure I’m going to have some fun with it. Especially if that Mech shows up. :wink:

Aye , I saw it in the preview. I’d like to rape it’s cockpit and take control of that sweet looking thing.

Hopefully there will be a number of missions to played B4 I go on-line with it.

Some Q&A Chat :

Shack: Rather than true single player, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars apparently has some kind of mission mode that is played online. Could you explain this (or correct my incorrect information)?


Paul Wedgwood: Enemy Territory is a multiplayer game, and the core of Enemy Territory gameplay (whether that’s Wolf ET or ETQW) is team-play. So, when you’re relying on your team-mates to perform specific tasks or you’re covertly observing the enemy and trying to learn their tactics, it is far more satisfying and rewarding when the other players are human. As gamers we love multiplayer games, and as developers of a multiplayer game, our goal is to have people playing with other people. When a person would rather play with a computer controlled bot than a live opponent, the design has failed as a multiplayer game.


Continued Chat :

We developed the game as multiplayer from the very start, rather than adding multiplayer to an existing single-player game. This meant that we weren’t taking a single-player game and cutting back on features (because we wanted to send them across a network), but instead focusing on what features could be added or improved for pure multiplayer. This is also true for the physics engine, which now allows us to simulate vehicle forces and traction much more realistically than has been possible across a network in the past.


Thirdly, and probably most importantly, the game focuses on team-play. Two asymmetric teams (with differing weaponry, vehicles, deployables and combat roles), fight it out to secure specific tactical objectives in pursuit of a strategic goal – you’re not simply death-matching or stealing flags. Instead you take on a specific combat role and work with your team to construct a bridge, escort and deploy a Mobile Command Post at an outpost, steal data, or destroy a Strogg Shield so you can launch a full attack on their base.

END

Looks like no single player mission to be played. Oh Well , It looked nice anyway. Being only a multi player game this could turn into a pay to play. Why else would it only be Multiplayer ? Personally I would rather buy me a PlayStation before I start paying for online games using my PC. Simply because there is a better selection of good games being offered on the game console.

Pay to play is a bit naughty IMHO, especially if thery're going to ask you to pay for the game in the first place too!

September 13, 2006 - New information on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars can be hard to come by. But today we have a newly revealed map to show you courtesy of the guys at id and Activision. Below, you'll find a description of the new level called Ark along with a couple of new screens and a map and legend showing off all of the points of interest of the level. Quake Wars is due out in 2007 at this point so you'll have plenty of time to study up before throwing some pain around on the map.

They updated their web page here and installed a cool video. There’s also a pre order option.

I would certainly play a demo if one is ever made but I wont buy this game outright before I at least try a demo.

I just found this article on BOTS. (Excellent Article, a must read!)

http://pc.ign.com/articles/795/795599p1.html


This article sealed the deal for me, it looks like I will be getting Quake Wars for sure. I watched few videos over at gamespot, looks really good. It's about time someone made a MP COOP game the way WE (The players) want it. Can't wait!
