"Usually when a PC game is ported over to the both the Xbox 360 and PS3, one developer works on the game for both platforms.

Not so in the case of “Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars.”

Last month I saw a demo of “Enemy Territory: Quake Wars” on the Xbox 360. Ported from last year’s PC title, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions of the game will be out on May 27. Two different development teams worked on the ports — Nerve Software on the Xbox 360 and Underground Development (formerly Z-Axis) on the..."

Two weeks ago, the upcoming multiplayer Quake Wars was declared gold. Now after almost three months of public beta testing and developer tweaking, the demo running the final version of the game is available for download.

The system requirements are as follows:

* SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP/Vista (Windows 95/98/ME/2000 are unsupported)
* Microsoft DirectX(R) 9.0c (included)

* HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.8 GHz or AMD(R) Athlon(TM...

"Back in 2003, we started exchanging design ideas with id Software for what started out as a fairly modest attempt to evolve the team-play in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Now, four years later, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars has officially gone GOLD! For those of you not familiar with the development term, going gold means that the retail game is complete, and that master DVDs have gone to manufacturing, and will then head to stores. This makes us especially proud, not just because of the incred..."

"id Software and Activision announced at QuakeCon that Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars for the PC will hit European shelves September 28 and US shelves October 2. The game, in development by Splash Damage, pits the armies of Earth’s Global Defense Force against the alien Strogg in a multi-player strategic shooter where players engage in a new war for Earth.

Offering objective-based multi-player action online or off with bots, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars is set in the QUAKE universe in the year ..."

"This is the moment you have been waiting for: id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead just announced the official release date for the PC version of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars during the id press conference at QuakeCon! Without further ado, here's the scoop: ETQW is slated to ship in North America on October 2, 2007, while Europeans will get their hands on it the Friday before (September 28). Mark your calendars, gentlemen!"

"The Enemy Territory Public Beta 2 is now available on Fileplanet along with 25,000 new license keys. The keys are first come, first serve, so head on over there right away if you don't have one yet. Beta 2 offers thousands of improvements, fixes, and additions compared to the first Public Beta and features an all-new map, and the changes are so extensive that even if you are already in the Public Beta, you will need to download the all-new beta client from Fileplanet. You can read all about B..."

"Activision has announced that it’s to invite 60,000 of its dearest gaming buddies to participate in the public beta of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the upcoming multiplayer shooter for the PC. Players lucky enough to bag one of the lucky places will get to annihilate one another on one beta level, which is entitled "Sewer"."

"One of the most respected and well-known game developers in the world, John Carmack hardly needs any introduction. Having mastered the skill of game programming, Carmack co-founded developer id Software, and has also worked on such classic series as Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D."

"Activision's recent financial report suggests Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will be with us by the end of summer.

In its outlook for the year ahead, the money paper states the game is due in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which narrows it down to July, August, or September. This also falls in line with retail predictions saying late August.

Activision, however, is standing firm on id Software's guidelines that "it's finished when it's done".

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is in develo..."

"Let's have another example. The GDF Covert Ops troop packs a sniper rifle (or a scoped assault rifle if you'd prefer, you brute you), smoke grenades and EMP grenades that knock out any Strogg deployable or vehicle for 30 seconds. If 30 seconds isn't long enough then you've got the option of getting up close and hacking. Covert Ops can also have a radar airlifted in that'll show up nearby Strogg on everyone's minimap and give Engineer-created turrets a helping hand. Best of all is the 3rd Eye ..."

"And no, it's not done yet. id Software's elusive Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is still in development by a trio of developers, including Nerve Software, Z-Axis and Splash Damage, each one catering to a different gaming platform (the PC, the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3). If you haven't heard the news yet, Quake Wars went multiplatform after id Software slapped buckaneers' hands for making them do it.






Splash Damage is responsible for the PC development side, and have been in cl..."
