The battle between the GDF and Strogg begins on next-generation consoles as id Software and Activision release Enemy Territory: Quake Wars in May 2008. This is a team-based first person action title, and already one of the most anticipated new properties of 2008. In this epic multiplayer-focused game, players can choose to defend humanity as a part of the Global Defense Force (GDF) or destroy it as a merciless Strogg alien invader. Each side is outfitted with specialist weapons and combat hardware. In this adrenaline pumping fight for survival, warring forces utilize a variety of different vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems including quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to unleash airborne attacks. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the opponent. The game features 16-player battles on the console systems, delivering the ultimate team-and objective-based multiplayer experience. Under the executive production of id Software, Nerve Software is developing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for Xbox 360, while Z-Axis is the developer for PS3.
