After finally having the opportunity to play this game, I offer you all my unbiased review. As you all may know, the game looks and even at times feels a lot like the popular Battlefield series. However, don’t be mistaken Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is much more goal oriented. For the Battlefield fans out there trying to get their feet wet with this new game, the controls take a little getting used to but you should feel comfortable. There are a lot of vehicles that you will find very similar to those in BF2142. The Strog (alien invaders) have a battlewalker-like vehicle that has battle turning firepower. Some of the helicopter like vehicles are fairly easy to control after a few rounds in them. Overall gameplay is fun and challenging.
Graphically the game isn’t new. It looks a lot like your typical DirectX 9.0c FPS. Nothing that really blew me away. However it is a lot more seamless than the Battlefield series. The storyline is, well simple… storylines in FPS games are never to detailed because as soon as you begin the game you have forgotten about it altogether. One very good point about this game is it runs very well on mid-grade machines with the settings turned up to high. As an FPS gamer, you should already know that lag is the difference between victory and defeat.
So I advise anyone looking to continue on from the BF series and migrate here, don’t expect the gameplay to be the same, give it some time and you will see this game is a much more team oriented than Battlefield. Give it a few days or weeks depending on your gaming habits and I guarantee you will like it. And for everyone else, once you become comfortable with the controls and the pace of the game, you too will frag like no other.
