The game has an affair focuses rewards system set up. That remunerates each player a few focuses relying upon the mission finished.
A: Yes, you need to fulfill the minimum system requirement to play or install this game smoothly. Further, if you not do that then you face the error at the time of gameplay. So, both users can install Enemy Territory Quake Wars into his console. But OFW users need to follow the installation instructions as given.
A: The Xbox and Xbox , is region-locked consoles. Although it was up to the publisher if a game is region-free or not. This includes a glass vault reminiscent of Magneto's prison in which to house their massive 'Megaserv' server -which not only hosts their frequent LAN games, but also renders the gigabyte-straddling mega-textures used to make Quake Wars look so detailed - and the delightful corridor of concept art, which tlisplayed some rejected character ideas such as the mutilated female Strogg.
The short walk back to the meeting room then takes us past a cabinet displaying award after well-deserved award for Splash Damage's previous title, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. In all, it's really not a bad place to work. Having sat me in front of a projector screen, Wedgwood wastes no time in getting to the interesting stuff. He tells me how the visuals have improved since their astounding E3 movie, before taking the easier route of loading up the Valley map and letting me see for myself.
He really isn't lying, and while the difference might not be monumental, it's certainly noticeable. Tlic terrain texture is far more defined, right out to the horizon. The mega-texture ensures there are no repeating tiles either - compare that to a game like Oblivion, in which detail only exists up to a certain point before turning into a distant blurry green texture.
The game's maps, in terms of size, are roughly on par with Battlefield's, but in terms of scale and design, Quake Wars contains the most elaborately constructed maps of any online shooter.
Thanks to the mega-texture technology, fogging is only ever used aesthetically too - and it all runs on a machine that can run Quake 4. This is a major technical achievement for PC gaining, and as if it needs stating, one that obliterates any notions I had of the Doom engine being a useless, clunky shadow simulator.
With the basics thoroughly conveyed, and the game's limbo screen beginning to burn into my retinas, Wedgwood begins the demonstration proper. In order to show me exactly how the mechanics of the shooter operate, Valley is emptied of allies and foes alike, and Wedgwood's character stands alone in the GDF base. Currently, the CDF objective is to construct a bridge well, repair a broken bridge about yards down the road in order to move their mobile command post forward.
On the far side of this destroyed bridge is the tunnel you may remember from the E3 trailer, the one that hotshot-pilot flew through. The Strogg objective is simply to defend. My team hasn't gathered any intelligence about the fact that it exists, so currently my task is still just to secure the bridge.
But one of the things that I can do as a Covert-Ops character class responsible for gathering intelligence is to deploy radar. And so if I deploy radar Wedgwood selects the deployable radar from his weapon list, and an RTS-stylc grid appears on the ground in front of him.
The interface is instantly recognisable, glowing a healthy green when it's safe to deploy it in a given area and an angry red when you'd be blocking a path. Once placed, it can even be rotated, where it remains as a holographic blueprint until a massive skycrane airdrops the desired deployable into place. Strogg deployables, on the other hand, plummet down from orbit with a satisfying 'whumph'. In this case it's a radar dish, and it instantly picks up the Strogg anti-vehicle turret on the other side of a bridge.
You see, even if I didn't know what class I was, or what I'm supposed to be doing, it tells me I can go and do this mission if I want I'm picking up missions to go and do things which help my team. Splash Damage even go so far as to loosely compare Quake Wars to World Of Warcraft, in that even though you may not understand everything the game is doing and throwing at you, you'll always be able to boil it down to some simple objectives.
These mini-missions, once assigned to you, are given to nobody else. They're class-sensitive too, which means that if you're a medic you'll get minimissions to go heal team-mates, if you're an engineer you'll receive minimissions to repair vehicles. Or you could ignore the mini-missions and concentrate on the main objective. Respawning amid the battle once more, I spy Wedgwood standing next to the Anansi gyrocopter. I comply, sprinting in terror towards the air vehicle.
So much is going on around me that it really is quite overwhelming. Strogg infiltrators zip over buildings with their jetpack-style Icarus machines, gun-turrets blast round after round at approaching targets, everywhere things are just exploding. Despite the fact that it doesn't support as many players as games like Battlefield, the objective-based maps create focus points, battlefronts on which everybody can be found.
There's very little reason to be anywhere else on the map, meaning it's insanely action-packed. At first, it seems to handle like a helicopter: the Anansi dips forward, diving towards the lake surface before levelling off and speeding across the water and under a bridge. The Anansi's onboard systems, which I assume are programmed to feel abject terror, beep endlessly, thoroughly unappreciative of Wedgwood's near-terrain piloting skills.
He explains that by holding the control key, you can unlock your gun reticule and fire your guns and rockets in any direction - of course, this means effectively taking your hands off the Anansi's wheel, and as such it's the reserve of the more confident pilot. The aircraft's boost feature turns it into a jet, something Wedgwood demonstrates by rocketing at full speed towards the tunnel opening at stupid-miles-per-hour, narrowly avoiding the burnt out cars and barricades inside, surprising at least two Strogg Oppressors and emerging triumphant and unscathed at the other end.
He's done it at least times I'm sure, but he obviously gets a kick out of bringing a co-pilot along for the show. An errant tester who was out of the room when Wedgwood requested immunity blows us out of the sky, and the round ends. I've just experienced Quake Wars - so that's wliat all the fuss is about.
Once ejected back into the bleak Bromley evening, I grab a sandwich and head for the station. Having arrived with the pieconception that I'd be playing a game not entirely unlike BF, I've been well and truly proven wrong. Every map tells a story, featuring progression, changing objectives and moving frontlines. It adds several more layers of depth to an increasingly rich universe, and it's the by-product of a holy union between Splash Damage, those connoisseurs of multiplayer gaming, and the legendary id.
What's more, it's stunningly beautiful to boot. Not only is Quake a huge technical achievement, but it looks set to be one of the most refined, polished and successful online shooters the PC has ever seen. Be excited. Arnout van Meer, Splash Damage's co-founder and technical director, explains: ''Technical changes to the game will remain fairly easy as the game code is very accessible.
There's a lot of potential for smaller gameplay mods, though a bigger project would take a lot of effort" Richard Jolly, co-founder and art director continues. To go from concept to high-poly, then low-poly model to in-game, with animations on top - as well as multiple characters and vehicles and about two weeks work per asset - it's a lot of work.

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 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, you'll be an important part of this last battle for control over the planet!
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a multiplayer shooter that aims to combine the old-school style of the previous Quake titles with some new age ideas, as seen in games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, or Medal of Honor. Quake did manage to gather a huge fan base for itself, thanks to the constant stream of good titles that were part of the series and came out over the years.
However, although Quake IV did not manage to impress the public as much as the developers would have liked, there are a few other options to choose from as well, not all of which have a campaign element as well, though.
In order to achieve this, the title at hand is mostly based in team play and objectives, rather than the free-for-all carnage that ruled its predecessors and was the cause for countless hours lost on deathmatch servers. In case you are not familiar with the universe, the Strogg are a race of aliens and they are constantly fighting the GDF, whether for territory, weapons, or just to kill each other off and get custody of Earth. There isn't much of a back story going on, although you can play a campaign mode and go through a series of maps that are meant to give you some insight into the conflict.
