Quake Wars - Console Preview at CVG

[CSN NewsBot]

CVG has the latest preview of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

The biggest difference between the console version and its PC counterpart, which has been on shelves for a couple months, now, is the addition of a fully functional single-player campaign with 15 AI bots, all of which are 'extremely life like' according to id Software's Steve Nix. This way you can get yourself a surefire grounding in combat, get to know all the maps nooks, crannies and vantage points. Of course, multiplayer is the key here and this is what Enemy Territory was crafted for.

The console version will sport 12 multiplayer maps, with no plans to add more in the form of DLC. This is mainly due to the "sheer complexities of MegaTexture."



Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will be due out May 28, 2008 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version is already out with an 84% at metacritic.com.

This was bad on the PC, and its going to be bad on the console.



You have been warned.

I thought it was, and is, quite good on the PC. And, like I mentioned, the critical consensus seems to agree.



But, what did you find so bad about it?

Nearly every person I've ever seen bitch about this game uses stupid arguments about the state of the game during the first beta. Mostly problems that were fixed by beta 2, and absolutely fixed by the final game. Any remaining issues still present in the final game have been fixed by the fantastic post-release support the game has seen.

The game is great but it has steep learning curve which was improved by later patches with training mode. Thus the game has depth and you wont get so quickly bored with it.



I think that preview is wrong as PC version also has singleplayer campaign (scrim actually) with 15 nice AI bots.



The difference in console version is the party mode that allows group of friends to stay together while changing servers.
