Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is the 5th game in Quake series of science fiction first-person shooter games. It is a successor to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory but it is set in the same world as Quake II, and acts as its prequel. Its gameplay is multiplayer based and is comparable to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has been released on Windows, Macintosh OS X and Linux formats and a console version is set to be released on both Playstation 3 and X-box 360 on May 29th, 2008.
Gameplay
Unlike many other First Person Shooter games of this time An integral part of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars's gameplay is objectives that require certain classes to perform certain actions opposed for a more Team Deathmatch style of play. There are four types of objectives to compete:
- Construct objectives that are completed by Engineers for the GDF and Constructors for the Strogg.
- Capture a objective that is only ever issued to the GDF army where a MCP that is dropped in by a Maggog sky crane has to be transported to a certain location to capture an outpost. Any class can complete this objective
- Destroy objectives that are performed by either a Solider or Aggressor.
- Hacking which is carried out by a Covert Ops for the GDF and the Infiltrator for the Stogg.
Maps in ETQW consist of a number of these different objectives, typically 3, to create a map. One team will be attacking and having to perform the tasks, the other will be defending and attempting to stop the attacking team from completing their objectives.
The defending team will have a time limit in which to stop the completion of all of the objectives this is typically twenty minutes but can be changed if necessary.
