Enemy Territory:Speculation Wars

More like planetside. :smiley: <3

Judging from my pre-leaked alpha beta it’s actually a bit of a cross between Britney’s Dance Beat and Barbie’s Horse Adventures. It needs more pink though.

In an effort to become bored with the game before it’s even released, I decided to do some guesswork. And with enough luck, I might provoke some vague/teasing comments from Splash Damage.
I’ll be speculating on Rock Paper Scissors aspect of ET:QW.

Engineer
Good against:

  • umm, attackers ?
  • people who come close enough (shotgun)
    bad against:
    -Oppressor (sounds like great building destroying potential)
    -Infiltrator (shotgun vs railgun; infiltrator may have some specialised anti-building stuff)
    -Tank* (assuming the “rocketlauncher equivalent” is any good at destroying buildings)
  • any kind of SMG at medium range

Field Op
Good against:

  • engineer (spam on deployables)
  • Infiltrator/rail gun (artillery forces to move)
  • ground vehicles (spammage)
    bad against
  • Anything that can comes close (lightning pistol)
  • Ranger/Sniper Rifle (mutual enemies, I guess)
  • aircraft ? (hard to hit with artillery, I think)

Medic
Good against

  • Constructors (not again!)
  • with scope, can be annoying to Infiltrator/railgun and Constructor. Basically against anything.
  • with grenade launcher, against ground vehicles, probably.
    bad against
    Ummm…

Soldier
good against

  • with assault rifle: against infantry and possibly light vehicles, too.
  • with rocket: against vehicles, maybe buildings, too.
    bad against
  • Depends on weapon carried: vehicles or infantry…
  • lack of supplies (stretching a bit)

Ranger
good against

  • deployables (ability to hack)
  • people far away (sniper rifle)
    bad against
  • Vehicles (Snipe a vehicle ? Naaaah, it happens only in EA games)
  • direct assault, I suppose.
    ==================
    Meditek
    Good against
  • hard to say, no weapons known. Probably everything that doesn’t run on a tree.
    Bad against
  • Ranger with sniper rifle (annoying - you may take him down, but he’s too far to eat his corpse.
  • ?

Tank
See Soldier.
As far as special abilities go, Tank seems better on offense, while Soldier may be better on defense.

Constructor
Not enough info, probably similar to Engineer

Infiltrator
Probably like Ranger. Can’t say what ‘bioelectric pinch bomb’ does.

Oppressor
See Field Op

Vehicles
Good against:

  • Rangers/Infiltrators (guess - no explosives?)
  • ?
    bad against:
  • Soldier/Rocket
  • AT guns
  • Spam Op

I miss the cheerleader class in your listing :eek2:

Maybe the field ops will be able to call anti-aircraft strikes? Like the big gun you have to destroy in Q4.

The longer I think about ET:QW the more I get the impression of a mix between W:ET and Fortress games.
