Enemy Territory: Quake Wars | Xbox 360

About the Game

After they had fought out their civil war on their homeworld called Stroggos, the Strogg ventured out into space to conquer other planets and study other races to integrate them into their own. In 2060, they enter space above their next target: Earth. The Global Defense Force (GDF) is completely overwhelmed by the attack of this highly advanced force but they don't give up and fight for their survival. Ultimately Earth will fall into the hands of the Strogg and the events which lead to the beginning of Quake II will unfold but until then, the player will be an important part of this last battle for control over the planet.

Gameplay & Core Systems

As a successor of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory , Quake Wars focuses on objective driven gameplay rather than just capturing flags like in the Battlefield series . This means that on every map one team needs to fulfill an objective while the other needs to guard it. For example, on the map "Valley" the GDF needs to build a bridge, then drive a MCP over the bridge to a nearby outpost, hack a Strogg-shield so that the MCP can fire a missile into the Strogg base so that the GDF can enter it and destroy a generator. The engineer for example can build the bridge on Valley, repair damaged vehicles or deploy identities while the Field Ops supports his teammates by handing out weapons and deploying artillery systems. Since the maps are all pretty big, there are also several kinds of vehicles ranging from little quadbikes to helicopters.

Unlike most multiplayer games, the teams in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars don't just have a different skin but are actually completely asymmetrical balanced from classes over weapons to vehicles.

Standout Features

• Strogg: To balance this out, the Strogg technician can turn dead GDF soldiers into spawn hosts.
