Soon: Quake Wars on Xbox 360, PS3

ID Software and Activision have disclosed that their highly anticipated videogame title, "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars" will be launched on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 (PS3) platforms.

The company said that in this multiplayer-focused game, players can choose to defend humanity as part of the Global Defense Force (GDF) or destroy it as the merciless Strogg alien invaders in the battle that ensues for control over Planet Earth.
It is learnt that programming details for the Xbox 360 edition are being handled by Nerve Software, while Z-Axis is the developer for the PS3 model.

In a statement, Todd Hollenshead, Chief Executive Officer, id Software, said they are pleased to be working with Nerve and Z-Axis to bring the highly anticipated game play from "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars" to the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms.

Quake Wars, which will also feature strategic team play, persistent character promotions and online stats tracking, will allow players choose to battle as one of the five unique classes in either the conventionally armed GDF army, or the futuristic Strogg invasion force, each outfitted with specialized weapons and combat hardware.

Besides, warring forces will utilize different vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems, including quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to unleash a string of air attacks. And throughout each battle, teams will establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory, while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed-up progress and gain tactical advantage over the opponent.

The game also features 16-player battles on console systems, thus delivering the ultimate team-and objective-based multiplayer experience.
