Enemy Territory: Quake Wars demo now available for download

Pre-Order Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for PCThe Enemy Territory: Quake Wars demo is out now and waiting to be played on your PC! One of this holidays most anticipated first-person shooters, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has a release date of October 2nd in the US and September 28th in Europe & Australia. The Xbox 360 version does not have a solid release date, but it may still hit this year. There is not yet an announcement for the Xbox 360 demo, if there is one coming.

Those who have ATI cards will need to install this hotfix. (Windows XP hotfix, Windows Vista hotfix)

In the demo you will get the final version of Valley, one of the larger battlegrounds in the game. Set in Yosemite, California, Valley has the Global Defense Force on the attack, as they attempt to foil a Strogg contamination plot centering on a water treatment facility. Valley features a great blend of close quarters infantry action, vehicle battles and aircraft dogfights, and the varied terrain combining mountains, waterways, tunnels and industrial structures allows for many different playing styles. To top it all off, there’s a multitude of optional side missions and plenty of opportunities to try out the various defense turrets, artillery and radar deployables – Valley is a prime example of the frantic and diverse action you’ll find in Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars.

For those who already played Valley in the Public Beta, the map has undergone further balance improvements based on your feedback. Most notably, the GDF can now capture the Contaminator Forward Spawn before the Shield Generator is hacked, which really cranks up the action around that objective. On top of that, the Demo contains the final XP and weapon balance, player movement, and vehicle handling.

The demo also features bots, so you can explore the map and gameplay in single player mode with computer-controlled opponents, or use the bots to fill up empty slots on multiplayer servers. We are also including the standalone server as well as the server launcher tool, so you can host your own online and LAN games.
