today announced that Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is coming to next-gen

From id Software:
In this epic multiplayer-focused game, players can choose to defend humanity

alien invader. Under the executive production of id Software, Nerve Software is
developing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for the Xbox 360, while Z-Axis is the
developer for the PLAYSTATION 3.
“We're pleased to be working with Nerve and Z-Axis to bring the

Winner of more than 15 awards in 2006 and already selected as one of the most
anticipated new titles in 2007 by more than eight publications, Enemy Territory:
Quake Wars is being developed for the Windows PC by Splash Damage – the Nerve
Software and Z-Axis console versions will also feature strategic team play,
persistent character promotions and online stats tracking. Players choose to
battle as one of five unique classes in either the conventionally armed GDF army
or the futuristic Strogg invasion force, each outfitted with specialist weapons
and combat hardware. In this adrenaline pumping fight for survival, warring
forces utilize a variety of 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 airborne attacks.
Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures,
artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory
while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a
tactical advantage over the opponent. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars features
16-player battles on the console systems, delivering the ultimate team-and
objective-based multiplayer experience. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has not yet
been rated by the ESRB.
