Sci-Fi

Quake Wars thrived on its blend of objective-based combat and class-based teamwork. The asymmetrical balance between the GDF and Strogg factions, each with unique vehicles and abilities, demanded adaptation and coordination. Players kept returning for the satisfying gunplay and the strategic depth of capturing command posts, deploying deployables, and calling in orbital strikes, all within the familiar Quake universe.

About Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Details
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a first-person shooter video game developed by Splash Damage and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The prequel to Quake II, Quake Wars is set in the same science fiction universe as Quake II and Quake 4, with a minimal back-story serving as a prequel to Quake II. It is the second multiplayer-focused game in the Quake series after Quake III Arena. Quake Wars features similar gameplay to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but with the addition of controllable vehicles and aircraft as well as multiple AI deployables, asymmetric teams, much larger maps and the option of computer-controlled bot opponents. Unlike the previous Enemy Territory games, Quake Wars is a commercial release rather than a free download. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars received mostly positive reviews upon release, although it received some criticism on consoles.
