Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Announced
by Maarten Goldstein, May 16, 2005 10:41am PDTid Software and Activision today announced Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, a new strategic shooter by Splash Damage (Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory). The game pits humans vs invading Strogg forces, as they battle for control of Earth. Quake Wars promises strategic gameplay, persistent character promotions, day and night-time battles, and vehicle support. It's also mentioned that Quake Wars is powered by id Software's new MegaTexture rendering technology.
Unlike Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, this won't be a free download. No release date is mentioned either, but that isn't terribly surprising considering id's involvement.As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the EDF (Earth Defense Force -- humans) or the barbaric alien Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons and combat hardware. Troops utilize over 40 conventional and futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy.

And for those who say Tribes sucks. Well your an idiot. Deathmatch style gameplay is completely different than Tribes gameplay. Its like comparing Apples and Oranges. Tribes is more on the level of something like BF2 but bending more toward e-sport style of gameplay, all the strategy, warfeare combat mixed into one. There is no other game like it.
The shots are awsome , this game is gonna eat a lot of time from the boyz :)))) a nice addition to the game would be the BIG FuCKING GUN ( BFG :D )

I don't care if they port it over later, but color me exicted if this thing is being developed first and foremost for the PC. Nothing can match the feel of a good PC FPS game. A well developed, mouse-driven interface and clean controls make all the difference.
Please, please, please be a PC game!

raven are making strogg assets for q4, which i'm assuming will in part be used in this (for the strogg side), and there also might be some crossover between the earth stuff (walkers, tanks etc). i suspect less crossover because here earth is defending and in q4 the earth forces are attacking (thats why they're in space suits and stuff)
it seems like a really good mix, though i do see conflict between the team based q4 multiplayer and this - i imagine the q4 team based stuff has been scaled down and it'll be a more focused dm game

Nah, this looks and sounds very cool. Hopefully we get more media from E3 and a nice trailer for Quake 4 would also be nice. =)

Wolfenstein: ET was a triumph for multiplayer gaming. This is going to be incredible. In fact, I just completely stopped caring about Battlefield 2. This can't come soon enough!!!!!!
although, nothing will ever be as good as Quake 1, Quake 3 OSP 4v4 dm :)
