Enemy Territory: QUAKE Warsâ„¢ Announced!


(Dingo19) #81

I’ll bet money that with a classed based system, vehicles can only be operated by a certain class, just like some weapons can only be used by the right class in Wolf/ET. So long as there is an inbuilt class number restrictions, and a good and fair vote system, I see no problems with vehicle morons.

This looks great SD, can’t wait to play it, although I’ll have to convince the wife that we need a new computer.

I made a own thread for these questions, but maybe you guys can help me out as well:

I just saw the few screenshots that are out, and I also saw the new trailer. The game looked great, so now im looking forward to 2006, but I have some questions that I would like som answers to.

  1. Will this game have pretty much the same gameplay as in Battlefield or Enemy Territory? (Like one team vs another?)

  2. Will this game be multiplayer ONLY, or will it have single player mode as well? I don`t care that much about a single player story mode, but I would like some COOP bots with decent AI. I know that most players out there are multiplayer gamers, but I think single player gamers should be able to enjoy games like these to. Like they did in Battlefield (even if the AI is crap) and the Unreal Tournament series.

If not the forum community have the answers, I sure hope that the developers can help me out on this one. :wink:

Greetings from Norway!

FREE?!!?!?! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Yes it could be free to play online, but as said elsewhere, the game will not be free to buy!
Dorest0rm, read the rest of the thread ffs, or the other threads on the same topic…

And that’s another point, can people please just keep all the same topic posts in the same damn thread??!?
I don’t know how many hours I spent last night reading through repeated threads, topics, and whinings about how people expected RTCW2.

Look, for a start, I think I read in one of those many posts somewhere that someone else is actually developing RTCW2.
True, it is not Splash Damage at the moment.
It is by another company.
Neither of these games are released yet, so infact, RTCW2 could be released before Quake Wars, so quit your whining, it’s driving me nuts.

These people at Splash Damage have taken on one of the greats in first person shooters… Quake, and they are applying their enemy territory gameplay and tactics success to this game…
How do you lot not understand that this will probably far outstrip ET as SD has learnt from mistakes on their first project, and this is more of an official endorsed game by ID themselves?!

And when RTCW is released, do you think that the games companies will not realise that there are three ways of presenting their games to the public?!

  1. As normal Quake4, Doom3, or any other first person shooter mainly in single player.
  2. Then you have the multiplayer side which is usually just deathmatch to begin with.
  3. But then you have the Enemy Territory style of multiplayer play, which is far supperior to the others as i’m sure a lot of you must know.

So please, either read the thread with other whinings or be prepared to be flamed!

Great
congratz!!!
the game look awesome, the best of 2 worlds: ET and Quake 2

i cant wait to 2006 :frowning:


(mouseumk) #85

ET is just a clone of Quake 1 TF.


(Laope) #86

i hope to see rocket jump, bunnyhopes (like q2 ctf ones with the acceleration … and go around the whole map with jumps :P), railgun and supershotgun!!
also prone from et classic :stuck_out_tongue:

a good weapon in a vehicle could be a mini-EMP to kill that stroggs bastards on a limited radio :stuck_out_tongue:


(Mr-Gibs) #87

Holy crap! I just ran across the announcement on PQ, and couldn’t be more excited! I am looking forward to this game even MORE than Q4 - never dreamed something would come along to take that position of honor!

I’ve been a fan of the Splash Damage gang for a while now - sincere kudos for landing such an awesome game to work on. Well deserved!

Quake 4 is just gonna be another Doom game. Based on screenshots, and how little some people pay attention to story line, I dont see a difference in the 2 games. Also the boys that make Duke Nukem have their own Doom 3 engine game coming out, that is Doom with aliens. How many times do we have to do the aliens or demons, Rambo Solo mish games?

Financialy, it may be getting to be a rocky market with as fluded as it is with ww2 games.

Now class based mercs going against aliens in multiplayer, ya, that is different.

Any other FPS games I have found that do “Classes” really dont do it right. They are just different models with different weapon loadouts. Supposedly, the new BF 2 will have more distrinct classes and powers, we will see.

RTCW2 is already out in case you didnt notice.
Its called Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory, and its free. Go download it lol!

One more important point.

You peeps complaining about not being Wolf2…you guys dont want a new game ANYWAY! SD advanced Wolf into ET, and peeps complained.

Modders have tried to add new stuff to Wolf and the same peeps complain and dont want to try it. Demoman made the mod for ET to make it more like Wolf, and it doesnt get played that much, as good of a job as hes done on it.

What makes you think anyone can live up to your standards on what you want RTCW2 to be? No matter what, some peeps are gonna bitch and feel left out. I was going to try and mod the Half life 2 engine into a version of ET, like ET:Source is what I initially named the project. Now since SD and activision finally made hte annoucement, I dont have to worry about that, but, I was getting tired of waiting…

My suggestion to all you Hard core Wolfers is if you dont like what SD is doing, then shit man make your own mod’d version of wolf on one of the new engines. I know for sure you can bring ET maps into the Doom 3 engine, I have already done it and posted screenies, and the Half life 2 engine comes with a great developers package. :slight_smile:

Hot, high polygon Nazi chicks with stens is pretty hot though…

All i can say is that this game has been created by the Splash Damage Brigade so it will be a sure fire hit, they NEVER release any crap, fact. If you’re an f.p.s. " game hopper " then playing this new release is you’re next logical step, i guarentee you’ll love it. But as far as the hardcore Wolfers, which there are literally thousands and thousands of worldwide and who are totally deicated to all things Wolfenstein, this is NOT the game for us.

If this is the game that’s supposed to replace Wolfie then we will all be totally gutted. I would like to say to the crew at S.D. that we’ve waited patiently for the next episode in the action packed life of J.B. Blazkowicz and i, and thousands of others, sincerely hope that you’re not going to turn your backs on our loyal, dedicated, Wolfenstein asses.

WHAT WE WANT :

  1. World War 2 setting, 1939 - 1945 era.

  2. J.B. Blazkowicz fighting the evil Axis hordes.

  3. The return of Deathshead and his nasty nazi henchmen.

  4. Leather clad nazi bitches with sten guns causing us mayhem.

  5. Rock solid A.I. in the shape of the infamous nazi paratroopers, ( as difficult to overcome as the A.I. in the great single player add on " Timegate ". ).

  6. Some kind of new Multi Player that can be added to Enemy Territory.

WHAT WE DON’T WANT :

  1. Aliens.

  2. Modern weapons and technology.

  3. Any more insulting and thoughtless verbal diahorea from Salteh in this thread.

  4. Any change whatsover to our true Wolfenstein traditions.

We’ve stayed loyal to you S.D. for all these years, as have you to us, you even gave us E.T. for free, stick buy us guys and we’ll buy every copy of Return To Castle Wolfenstein 2 you release and that’s a fact.


(Th0mas86) #90

Still no news if the game will have official bot support?


(mouseumk) #91

I think Todd H said this will be a multiplayer only game.


(Th0mas86) #92

Hmm… Well, Battlefield and Unreal Tournament are multiplayer games to, but they have bot support. I wouldnt call it single player, but I sure would like to know if Quake Wars support official bots.


(makron) #93

A couple more screenshots up at http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/et_quakewars/Enemy+Territory:+Quake+Wars/1/thumbs/051705_etqw_1.jpg

Looks like medic with defibrillators instead of needles.

The guy to the right must be a Field Op. and the one who’s lying down is probobly a Soldier, this looks good :smiley:


(Th0mas86) #94

Will they give us more information about this game during E3?


(NoSoup4U) #95

Who says that they aren’t planning on making RTCW2?, no one. Don’t get me wrong, I love RTCW & ET but this looks very promissing. We have to give more room to Sci-fi. There has been to many WW2-shooters over the past few years. And I don’t think that a classbased Sci-fi FPS exists, or does it?. Anyways, this will be a whole new experience.
