Can you say lock and load? You’ll be saying that from here on out because Activision and id Software have announced that Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars has gone gold and will be out in stores for Australia and Europe on September 28, 2007. North America will get their hot little hands on the game on October 2, 2007. The games will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
So what to expect? How about your classic Global Defense Force (GDF) against the dastardly Srogg?
A press release from id, Splash Damage and Activision described the game thusly:
Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars takes place in the year 2065 and gives gamers the chance to play as the GDF or Strogg in one of five unique character classes, either online or offline with computer controlled AI teammates and opponents.
Employing an arsenal of weapons, vehicles and deployable armaments, players engage in an action-packed test of skill and coordinated teamwork through a series of combat objectives. Persistent character growth and achievements reward players for teamwork, while clearly defined mission and class objectives guide new players to meaningful contributions on the battlefield.
Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software beamed, "After months of testing, tweaking and balancing Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, I’m pleased to finally be able to say ‘It’s Done!’" said id Software. We’ve had a ton of fun getting the game ready for the masses and I’m looking forward to seeing the massive battle for the top of the online leaderboards begin!"
There will be two editions available for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars — the stock edition and the Limited Collector’s Edition. They’ll go for $49.99 and $59.99 respectively.
Let the Strogg slaughtering begin!
