At long last, we are delighted to confirm the impending Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Public Beta. The ETQW Closed Beta has been going extremely well and yielding excellent results. We want to give more people the opportunity to give us feedback on the game so we?re going to open a Public Beta with 60,000 slots available. This way we?ll be able to test many more combinations of hardware, RAM, CPU, graphics card, drivers etc. than we?ve been able to ourselves, and also get a better idea of how the game plays for the general gaming public.

The Public Beta build will consist of a single map named ?Sewer?, which is part of ETQW?s Pacific Campaign. Set in Japan, the map revolves around a Strogg base hidden in, well, a sewer. It?s an interesting mix of outdoor and indoor, vehicle and infantry combat, deployables and counter-deployables and good old-fashioned FPS combat.

If you?d like to help us finish ETQW, we?d really appreciate your participation. If you want to just play a game for free you may find it a frustrating experience. This Public Beta is not the Demo - it?s not the finished game, but an opportunity to get feedback from a large group of people while testing stability and performance on a wider range of hardware combinations. The Public Beta will also collect some information on your hardware configuration, so you shouldn?t apply unless you?re comfortable with that.

When the Public Beta opens, participants will be sent their unique license code that is required for play. As we don?t have the infrastructure necessary to download tens of thousands of clients, we?ve asked FilePlanet to help us distribute these license codes along with the beta clients.

A fixed number of beta slots are being set aside for Fileplanet subscribers, so if you already have a FilePlanet subscription, you?re in the front of the queue. The rest of the slots will then go to those with free FilePlanet accounts. To be clear: You don?t have to pay anyone anything to participate in the ETQW Public Beta. It?s up to you if you want to pay FilePlanet for use of the improved download services they provide.

We will reveal more details on the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Public Beta, including the official start date, in the near future. Hope to see you all online very soon!

CAN'T F*CKING WAIT!

EDIT: Hmmm, I should've put "This week" because the PR guy at SD posted this yesterday.
 
sweet i cant wait. gah they just have to use fileplanet.
 
I'm going to get this! (if my comp will run it) *starts to get worried*
 
About time. I've been in the beta for momths andmomthws and haven't been able to say anything! Been like a balloon about to explode.

lol....how did you get in the closed beta?
 
something tells me this will come out while i'm at work and i won't get a spot... but i wish i could
 
I wonder how many slots are reserved for subs :| I hope I have the chance to sign up.
 
It's a good thing I only have to go into school for 2 hours on Friday.
 
You know what's ironic? When I payed for my FP subscription for that god awfull BF2142 beta they had future slots open for this. The downloads were slightly faster and some hot files crept along slowly. Thankfully I reserved a spot way back then and now it's finally payed off. ;) I also reserved the Crysis demo too. Will I still be able to get in even though I'm not a member but still have a key?
 
Wait, if this is on Friday... **** I won't be here.

Going to my sister's wedding in Jamaica. :|

I've a friend who works at Splash Damage. My brother also works at The Creative Assembly and a few people I used to hang out with work at Lionhead, although I haven't seen them in a while.

Who wants to touch me??!!
 
This is a Golden News to every dam fan of this game.

The reservation thingy says "Demo" though. They might not apply that to the Public Beta.

I wonder what part of the week this'll hit and how long this beta will run (hopefully up until the demo comes out :D).

fileplanet subs will be in line ahead of the free accounts. there is no reserved slots.

This is good stuff!

Aside from the sucking of FP's c*ck.
 
Good times ahead, the Insurgency Mod should come out before the end on the month as well. :imu:
 
I have been looking forward to this game for a long time. :sniper:

I might try and get a key and torrent the download so I don't have to fileplanet it.
EDIT: Anyone have a fileplanet sub account, but doesn't want to/can't play quake wars? I'll be happy to take the key off your hands.
 
I'll try to get a slot but won't be terribly disappointed if I don't.
 
Eh, queue will be so big you'll be down downloading when the game is released.
 
I have a FP subscription, so, do I have MORE of a chance of getting a key before the free accounts? Like we get it 24 hours earlier or something?
 
Yeah great stuff, If I can get my hands on some beta's I'll let you guys know.
