June 16, 2006 - Activision let us in on the first details for their Enemy Territory: Quake Wars pre-order program today. At the end of July, at select retailers, those that are hungry for some Quake multiplayer action can begin getting ready for action by plopping down some money for the game before it's actually out.

The publisher also gave out the information that those that do participate in the pre-order program for Quake Wars will be able to register their username in advance of the game's launch (cuts down on those embarrassing moments when you walk into a chat lobby and have a extra character hanging from your otherwise perfectly crafted gamer handle) and will also receive advanced strategies and gameplay tactics to have a little bit of an edge on those that have to learn the hard way.

We'll have more details for you when Activision nails down some more of the details. For now, those of you that have ants in your pants can start saving your money to get some pre-release goodies. And, in the meantime, check out the new exclusive screen below showing off a lovely alley full of broken dreams and violence.

So it seems they are going to be doing something like Battlefield 2 where you have to register your name, and can't change it to whatever you want?

Well considering I was going to be buying the game anyway on the first day, preordering it and reserving my name at the same time just makes sense...
 
Hmmmm if it's like the BF2 system, I guess I'll wait till the game is officially out. Registering a name isn't really that important to me..
 
Is that the Doom3 engine?! Who's the strogg with the gnarly back pack? The alley reminds me of F.E.A.R. Initially I was only giving this precursory looks, but I do believe I've had a change of heart. Will this game have traditional FPS controls?

Yup, that's the Doom3 engine :) Modified of course, but still the Doom3 engine.

The guy with the things on his back is a class called "Opressor" and is simliar to the Field Ops...

Oppressor
The Strogg's fire support expert can call in artillery deployables such as the Plasma Mortar, Rail Howitzer, and Orbital Laser, and can direct their fire against enemy targets. He also carries the rapid-firing Lacerator.

Yes, it will have "normal" FPS controls, obviously other special ones used for calling in artillery strikes or whatever, but it's still an FPS at heart.
 
Well! Add this to the list of must-haves for me. I love blowin' up strogg. :sniper: :borg:
 
Awesome news, I'll defenently pre-order if I have the money at that time =>
 
God that looks awesome as shit. My PC would burst into flames trying to render that geometry with shadows, in that resolution.

It is with great disappointment to sit on the bench and watch, as your dreams are played out on the PC monitors of the lucky few.

I have to get an Xbox 360 or a new PC, and soon. I'd buy this game for both systems.

I hope The Quake Wars game is as mod friendly as Doom3 & Quake IV.

O RLY? Battlefield 2 looks good, but I think your opinion is... WRONG. ;)

Quoted, for lack of betters of words, for truth.
 
Uhh yeah way to pick the absolute worst picture of Battlefield 2 in existence :/
And good work adding a picture of Quake 4 in with Quake Wars :D

I'm not a huge fan of the Doom 3 engine and it's rendering of outdoor areas with low polygon geometry and low res textures but whatever floats your boat.
 
Damn this is going to be good! I saw that the min. requirements were only a Geforce 2 also. That's speculated though. So Virus, do not give up hope! There is a chance! :D
 
This doesnt change anything. I always preorder games so its no biggy. I like the user name thing tho, thats really cool.
 
So wait, there's no release date announced or anything but they tell us pre-order info? :p
 
Virus, that picture isn't even of BF2. It's of BF2: MC for PS2/Xbox. You don't have to cheat to make a point :/

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this. Probably gonna preorder, just so I don't have to make any ridiculously long nicknames :p

I've never really looked at but a few screenshots of either game. BF2: MC? Well, I don't know, it's battlefield 2 isn't it? :smoking:

No, seriously, it was a mistake. I typed in google images and picked what I thought were a few quake wars images and some Battlefield 2 images. I noticed that it looked sorta crappy, so I thought that would help make my point. Someone else pointed out that one of the images was from Quake 4 also. Since I don't have the game, I don't know. Next time I won't use google images to prove a point.

Ok well, whatever, I still think QW-ET looks a hell of a lot better, especially in motion. I always thought BF2 looked terribly ridiculous in all the videos I've seen. That's why I was surprised to see that it even has it's own forum. I was under the impression that BF2 is another WWII clone, and it's not even the best one. I only ever liked the Medal of Honor WWII games. Medal of Honor: Airborne for PC or 360 looks unbelievable.

Yes, I know I don't always have the popular opinions, but they are mine.
 
Nice try, Virus, but with the new effects Valve's bringing out BF2 looks better :p

QW-ET is promising, but I want to see how well it can render large outdoor scenes.

When will the Doom 3 engine feature soft shadows??

If new maps are made for BF2, they can use them, right?
 
Doom 3 is said to have support for soft shadows, unfortunately as seen in FEAR it's killer on the fps. What do you mean? Valve can use BF2 maps?

No, someone could redo the maps with Source's new features.
 
BF2 2140 or whatever date it is looks to bad to be the next BF2 game. Looks more like a expansion. I mean they are releaseing online expansions every month makes me think whats going on. Ill still get the new BF just really doesnt look good to me.
 
i told you before, another bf2 clone. but it is looks damn good
 
Will Quake Wars: Enemy Territory have a single-player campaign?
(Does Battlefield II have a single player campaign?)

He means with the commander.

And the first Enemy Territory is gameplay wise nowhere near this new one, everybody knows that. It's just a freakin' name that they are abusing. So don't use the old one to compare. Please.

Oh i see about the commander. But gameplaywise, this is going to be much much much more simialr to ET than to BF2. The whole point of BF is the flag cap, the whole point of ET is the little missions within an MP game. Classes existed long ago.

I understand your mocking of another poster, but the BF:2142 screenshot looks pretty shite, the ground textures and grass sprites are so Wolf3D :p
