Multiplayer in first-person shooters isn't confined to infantry combat anymore, as more and more games incorporate vehicles into the action. This can have a dramatic impact on the gameplay, as you now have grunts, tanks, and aircraft thrown together into the fray. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is such a game, and this upcoming online shooter from Activision and developer Splash Damage will take the mythos of the Quake universe into a whole new territory. In Quake Wars, the Global Defense Force defends Earth from the alien race known as the Strogg. You can fight for either side online, and you'll be armed with an array of Quake-style weapons and vehicles. In this preview, we're pleased to present the GDF's vehicles. (We'll have details on the Strogg's vehicles soon.) The game is scheduled to ship later this year.

Potentially very cool! We'll see how they control though before I say much more. :)
 
slightly reminds me of the original command & conquer.
 
This puts BF2142 to shame, and I'm a BF fan :| Time to change brands I say!
 
I hope the APCs are useful. In BF2 you find that most APCs have a single person using them just for the weapon they carry. They're rarely used as, shock horror...Armored Personal Carriers. They should take away all heavy weapons on the APCs and make them tough as hell. And if they're incapcitated the troops inside should be given the chance to escape.
 
Ya this game is looking really sick right now. Man i cant wait for this.
