Enemy
Territory Quake Wars |
After
successfully releasing the downloadable
Enemy Territory Castle Wolfenstien,
Splash Damage released their second
Enemy Territory game, set in the Quake
Wars universe. We see the evil alien
invading force; the Strogg, attempting
to take over earth and enslave its
population. However the GDF (Global
Defence Force) stage fierce resistance
and defend the earth across all its
continents at all costs. Both races have
access to a wide variety of technology,
weaponry and vehicles, as well as
upgrades and special abilities like the
Strogg Spawn host, or the GDF Vampire
air strike.
In the
multiplayer you play as either the GDF
or Strogg on a wide variety of maps that
are set in various locations on earth.
Each map contains a series of objectives
that must be completed to win the map,
these could be such things as disabling
Shield generators, Destroying barricades
or Repairing generators etc. The
fighting takes place around these
territories and ground is gained when
objectives are completed. Defences can
be set up in the form of turrets (only
Engineers and Constructors can build
these), while the Field opps and
Oppressor can deploy fire support
turrets such as the Hammer Launcher and
Plasma Mortar.
Each side has
five different classes to choose from;
each has its own special
abilities/weapons and useful additions
to the team. The Strogg and GDF have the
same class types, however each varies
slightly with the weapons and
deployables they can have etc.
