Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Public Beta First Details
Submitted by badman on Sat, 2007-06-16 19:15.
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!

All of the above + teabagging
from I heard there is some strafe jumping where you can gain a little bit of speed.
It's just unbelievable what that guy does.
Alright, how about circle jumps, slope jumps or wall sliding?

Oh well. It's not a true Quake game, IMO, but I'll still give it a shot.

well yeah it isnt supposed to be. It is more like RTCW or ET, not quake even though it bears the name.
You....You have no idea what this game is, do you?
Of course it's not a "true" quake game! It's a Battlefield clone!
anyone got more informations about this?
But it's a top notch Battlefield clone.
"Our expectation is that we will be at the Quake 4 recommended specs and minimum specs," said Cloud. Though the standard Doom 3 engine may be showing its age, the addition of MegaTexture technology has extended its life into Quake Wars and perhaps beyond. By using a single, massive texture map to skin the environment, MegaTexture allows for greater visual detail and variety among the landscapes and structures.

I understand perfectly what this game is. It is the death knell of truly competitive FPS games for teams smaller than 8. I have very little hope for Q5 after the horror that Q4 was.
What is strange to me about this, though, is why bother calling it Quake? That name is supposed to represent a very specific run-and-gun anti-realism in FPS games, at least to me any everyone I know. Frankly, I'm sure the level of game play depth the series is known for scares many people away from it, so I can fully understand why it would try and distance itself from such a branding, but I'm very disappointed just the same.
I'm sure the game will be fun and all, but how long can simple fun last? There are still people playing Quake 1, are there still people playing BF 1942? There are still people playing Starcraft, are there still people playing Red Alert or Total Annihilation?

It has Quake in its name because the "Quake Wars" are the Wars between Earth and Strogg.
You know,the aliens that you fight in Quake games? Those are Strogg. They are bad. And they once invaded Earth. This game is the war to drive the Strogg back from Earth. So it's a prequel to Quake 2 & 4.
Man, now I have to wait for this so I don't miss out. It's today, right?

Believe you me, my anger for Q4 knows no bounds, but I'm still a little miffed about how this general trend for FPS' is panning out.

I've been waiting for quite some time to try this game out
AND refreshing this forums, I need to find anything to do.
I am. And I have things to do... but I don't want to miss out on this one.
