Where PC Gamers Come For “Active” News

Wondering when the Quake Wars v1.4 patch is coming out? Here’s an update which gives a new ETA:

We know you’re all waiting eagerly for the 1.4 update to be released and I’ve got a brief status update for you. Quality Assurance testing has turned up a few issues with 1.4 that need to be addressed before it can go out the public. One of them is specific to ATI cards, so we’re working closely with the guys over at AMD / ATi to get this resolved as quickly as possible, while also making sure that the rest of the update is as solid as can be. We don’t expect this to be resolved before the new year, so we’re now aiming to release 1.4 in early January 2008.

Full voice communications (VoIP) support, allowing rapid and easy coordination with your team-mates!

Splash Damage and id Software have issued a new patch for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, adding full Voice over IP support, along with a host of XP and weapon balance tweaks, UI improvements, bot fixes, renderer optimizations for Quad Core systems, and much more.

I’ll keep this short and sweet, since a lot of folks have been waiting for this: Hot on the heels of the Linux demo, id Software’s penguin wrangler Timothy ‘TTimo’ Besset has just released the full Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Linux Client!

The formula set forth in Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory in 2003 has evolved rather well with Quake Wars, delivering a distinct gameplay experience centered around team dynamics. It may not be the prettiest game out there or feature the greatest sound effects, but the enjoyable core of gameplay helps keep things interesting as you blast through the twelve well-designed maps. The elaborate persistent statistics system only strengthens the game’s already impressive replay value, as it gives you something to work towards aside from in-game objectives. It’s not the kind of mass-market gameplay that’s going to appeal to every FPS arena fan out there, but it’s highly entertaining nonetheless.
