Activision Dates Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (News)

Apr 16, 2008

This is one of those times where everyone just turned around and went, "wait...where'd that game go?" It's Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and while we heard a whole lot about this promising title late last year, it mysteriously dropped off the radar for a few months.

Well, it's back. According to IGN, Activision has finally revealed a release date for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of this promising shooter: it'll hit stores on May 30. The PC version has already been available for quite some time now, so console players have been itching to get their hands on it. If you're not too familiar with the game (heck, you might've forgotten), here's a brief description:

"Experience the ultimate team and mission-based online warfare, defined by the acclaimed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, now set in the legendary QUAKE universe. Choose to play as the human Global Defense Forces or the invading alien menace, the Strogg. Each side has distinct classes, vehicles, and weapons to choose from, giving players countless ways to join the battle."

With all the enemies, vehicles, and interesting terrain present in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, this could be one of the best console titles of 2008. Of course, the competition will be stiff...but then again, it's always stiff these days. Head back our way again at the end of May to check out our review.

Ahead of Activision's financial results next week, Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey has commended short-term revenue prospects, but commented that "emerging competition for some of [Activision's] core franchises, including Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk", may prove damaging for the company's long-term growth.

Hickey stated for the short-term company prospects, "We expect key fiscal Q208 and 2H08 game sales will come from Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Transformers, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Call of Duty 4 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Review)

Sep 27, 2007

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 ...

Windows Vista vs Windows XP Performance: 7 Months Later (News)

Sep 22, 2007

It has been over seven months since Firing Squad last took a look at Windows Vista performance versus Windows XP. In that series of articles, Firing Squad found that both AMD and NVIDIA's Vista performance was lacking in comparison to Windows XP, although NVIDIA's showing in Vista was much worse: Vista performance was in some cases substantially slower than Windows XP, features were missing, and SLI was unsupported entirely. Meanwhile, AMD's biggest problem was the OpenGL portion of their Vista driver, OpenGL-based games like Quake 4 scaled poorly in performance in comparison to WinXP and Firing Squad encountered numerous visual artifacts. CrossFire support was also limited.

As you can imagine, in the span of the past seven months quite a bit has changed on the Vista driver front and Firing Squad received quite a few emails asking to revisit the topic.

With the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Public Beta approaching, Community of EnemyTerritory.com have a few more bits of information about how the whole thing is organized, how you will be able to get your key, and, most importantly, when key distribution will actually start.
