Quake Wars- Enemy Territory delayed
July 12 2006 10:01:44
Quake 4 NewsWell, it looks as if some of the people working on Quake franchise games are using their heads. Activision can't be happy about that, but Splash Damage has decided that they need to balance the gameplay for Quake Wars throroughly before releasing the game. Since the design of the game is asymmetrical, meaning the two sides strogg and marines have different weapons, vehicles etc, the gameplay balance will be both crucial and difficult.

Early projections had put the game on shelves prior to Christmas '06, which would have made Activision deliriously happy, but the extended testing will push the release to sometime in '07. Personally, I can't see that as anything but a good thing for a number of reasons. My suspicions (based on guesses only) are that the game will have ridiculous hardware demands. Its still the same Doom engine thats in Q4 with some serious refinements added to it. Can you imagine playing Q4 on maps three times the size with 32 players all shooting at the same time? They would have to have a counter for fpm (frames per minute) on anything other than a seriously stacked machine. The delay is going to give everyone time to step their machines up a bit and for hardware prices to come down.

On another note, the delay may give the Q4 community the opportunity to get it together a bit with the upcoming 1.3 patch. There are also some major mod releases for Quake 4 coming very soon. I have been sworn to secrecy but you all need to get ready for some seriously good stuff upcoming in the very near future.
