News from N4G Jan 15, 2008
Sept 27, 2007 Despite appearances - specifically the vehicles, the character classes, and the open maps - this is not an attempt to make a sci-fi version of Battlefield. Nor is it, despite the name, much to do with the deathmatch tradition of Quake. It's therefore perfectly possible that fans of either of those series will be disappointed. This is, first and foremost, an Enemy Territory game. What this means is that ETQW is a class-based first-person shooter with asymmetric, objective-based ...

Clever design... in a shooter?
Jul 6, 2007
What if you dropped into an online game and always knew what you were supposed to be doing? We're not talking about a causal Halo match where you just have to shoot dudes and forget 'em. We're talking about a game where you fulfil a specific role: say, a saboteur who sneaks behind enemy lines to destroy its equipment, clothed in the skin of one of its own soldiers. What if you could jump right into a game like that and understand your role? What if you could help your team achieve its goals ...   » Read Full Enemy Territory: Quake Wars preview

Like Battlefield - with added sci-fi
Jun 21, 2007
Announced in 2005, shown at E3 2006, and confirmed for the 360 in 2007, Quake Wars is still an awkward one to preview. The coders at id Software love showing off their technology but aren't so keen on going into specifics about the game, yet as the launch draws near, morsels of information are starting to emerge and once again we find ourselves looking at one of the highlights of the year's many online first-person shooters. Quake Wars favors massive Battlefield 2-style maps, but adopts a much ...   » Read Full Enemy Territory: Quake Wars preview

Despite warnings of incoming tremors - that will surely thin out Battlefield and Counter-Strike server populations around the globe - seismologists continue to show no concern over ids next big Quake. But fragging fans, waiting to stress their systems and fingers on ids upcoming title, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars would do well to prepare for this years next big team-based shooter. We recently had the opportunity to score some time with the beta version of the game, and its looking good, really ...   » Read Full Enemy Territory: Quake Wars preview

Solid ten on the rictus scale
Mar 14, 2007
One of the lead Quake Wars developers summed it up best as we were basking in a post-playtest glow of fading adrenaline. “I think weve found the perfect balance of chaos.” After three hours of matches on some near-complete maps, its hard to disagree. There were worried murmurs when it was revealed the games vast maps would be optimized for a scant 24 players, but this isnt a problem. Quake Wars even works with three players to a team, because like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, ...   » Read Full Enemy Territory: Quake Wars preview
