This article will review the good, the bad and the Strogg (lol) of Enemy Territory - Quake Wars and how it will stack up against the upcoming competition.
Enemy Territory - Quake Wars is facing a lot of intense competition in the realm of online PC multi player shooting games. Such contenders are Battlefield 2142 that still draws many devoted gamers, while many hopefuls are saving their cash to get a piece of the following computer video games: Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, or Call of Duty 4 all of which comes out before Christmas.
The premise of Quake Wars is that it is a multi player game only with no real storyline, but he is the plot non the less: "The human Global Defense Force is battling it out with the Strogg, a repulsive race of alien warmongers. The Strogg has set its sights on Earth and dispatched wave after wave of warriors to conquer our fair planet."
A plus of Quake Wars is that you will not get bored if you cannot find a live person to challenge in its online environment. Most multi player video games are pretty bland when comes to facing off against off-line characters or artificial-intelligence-powered bots as they are called. However with Quake Wars the artificial-intelligence-powered bots are keen, meaning they will definably give you a challenge to face.
The A.I. bots add character to the games overall play. Instead of the bots bumping into each other or moving around like zombies which is typical for most multi player shooter games these bots actually know what they are doing. The bots have the ability to complete tasks and reviving unconscious soldiers including you the gamer.
Of course there is nothing better then when it comes to going head to head with some remotely connected people. You tend to get a sick sense of satisfaction when you can track down a exotically named player whom has been making your game life a living hell and reducing that character to a convulsing scared twit.
Instead of finding yourself lying down or dying a countless number of times like in other multi player shooter games. You can feel more comfortable in knowing that because of the sophisticated A.I. with the bots, dying will not be a commonoccurrence and you can more fully enjoy the game play as well.
As any true gamer will tell you there is a thin line between enjoyment and frustration
