2:05PM Luke Plunkett | Sadly still haven’t had a chance to play this, but I love this trailer. Why? Because the original Enemy Territory was as fantastic as a giant, fantastic box full of fantastic, so seeing the steps they’ve taken to not just maintain the teamwork aspect of it in Quake Wars but improve on it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Australia Beats US To Quake Wars, Lots Of Shoving, Gnashing Of Teeth
9:20AM Logan Booker | Activision has seen fit to grace Oz retailers with copies of Splash Damage’s Enemy Territory: Quake Wars a full four days before it’ll venture out into Consumerland in the United States. If this Battlefield-inspired shooter appeals to your gaming tastes, you’ll be interested to know the RRP for the regular version is $89.95, while $99.95 will reward you with the Limited Collector’s Edition. The LCE comes with a DVD with artwork, 10 collectable cards and, for the particularly geeky, ringtones.

Tweak Your Territory
10:40AM Logan Booker | The guys over at TweakGuides.com have posted a spiffy optimisation guide for Splash Damage’s Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Based on id Software’s Doom 3 engine, there are probably a lot of tweaks you could carry across from the claustrophobic 2004 shooter. But, as far as the specifics are concerned, this guide is about as comprehensive as it gets.
So, if you’re currently enjoying the beta, or maybe trying to enjoy it but the frame rate stinks like the intestinal wind from a curry-loving monkey, then you might want to give this guide a look-see.

9:00AM Mike Fahey | Enemy Territory: Quake Wars feels like it has taken forever to get here, and honestly I had started to lose interest in the title, but the recently released launch trailer here has my interest rising anew.

Quake Wars Demo Is Live
5:40AM Mark Wilson | The Enemy Territory: Quake Wars demo is ready for download on the game’s official site. It actually supports both single and multiplayer modes, so you can kill bots and friends alike. We actually saw the featured map (Valley) in Leipzig and I can attest to it being both large and beautiful. And if this Mac were only a PC, we’d be base jumping off mountaintops into enemy bases instead of just telling you about it. Maybe it’s time for that Vista install. Anyone who completes the download, hit the comments and let us know the size, experience, etc. Because we want details. And we want you to do our job for us. Hit the jump for the full press release.
