Hands-on: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Postby Juggalo =8= » Sun Aug 06, 2006 2:42 pm

IGN's got a great article up after their hands on with ET:QW.

" wrote:Whether you hail from the tactical or twitch side of PC first-person shooters, there's really no denying the influence id Software has had over the years in building what is now not only one of the most popular PC genres, but also the most addictive competitive online gaming out there. Kicking off the FPS legacy with Doom, and later evolving into the world of Quake, id has always been there for the twitch-happy shooter fan in all of us. In a bold move, however, the company has now set its sights on the new wave of online gaming, teaming with developer Splash Damage (makers of Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory) to create what many loyal fans have been calling the "Battlefield Killer", with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. While the game doesn't quite have the same Quake feel we're used to (10-second flag captures, cross-level rocket blasts, and brutal humiliation kills come to mind) there's simply no denying the sheer awesomeness of the game.

Yep, saw this last night. QuakCon was this weekend, so expect to see a lot more info about the game in the coming weeks. Nice to finally have some real info, it's been all BF2142 so far.

The main ET:QW site has been updated recently with a lot more info about classes, vehicles, and deployables for both sides.

In the ongoing saga between BF2142 and ET:QW, I have to wonder who is copying who here. Both games "look" so similar on the surface it's scary. Of course it could be a case of them both copying from each other. Dispite what they say in public, you know they're competitors, so it's probably only natural for one team to look at what the other is doing and go "Hey that's cool, can we do something like that?"
