The E3 trailer (Quicktime) for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has been released, and its so exciting I can barely type this. Download it now (or in Xvid) and forsake all other games!
It does indeed look quite awesome. Then I completely lost interest as soon as it said 2006. Screw getting excited about something more than 6 months away.
What is the extent of involvement of the core id team anyway?
The engine is all good and looks well implemented enough to shutup any of the 'too dark' whingers, hopefully they tweak it enough to make at least 20 player games viable.
However, the important things to get right in a game like this are level design and unit balancing, two things which im not sure id are any better at than everyone else anymore.
What is the extent of involvement of the core id team anyway? From the press release I think its zero :) I think they're just doing the engine. Gameplay will (probably) be up to Splash Damage, which works for me - I think ET is still one of the best games evar for pub server play.
