When Quake Made A Battlefield Game...

[@Hinokassaudifan1]

Used to play a lot as a kid offline because I didn't have internet back then. I LOVED the vehicles interiors. It was completely mind blowing.

[@Pilot_Warden]

Same

[@jamesclark-stewart7035]

Me too. I loved playing with bots. Got XBL afterwards and started playing Halo and CoD online, then onto PC stuff. Shame we didn't check out the multiplayer scene while it was alive.

[@blackiechan4681]

Same lmao

[@looneybatemanscotch2579]

Same

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle911]

Same

[@LightTrack-]

You unlocked a core memory of me playing vs bots as a kid for hours and hours. This game was soo fun even vs AI!

[@liminalphreak]

it definitely was so fun vs AI. I could play the matches for hours.

[@deana6072]

It was so much fun

[@zzz9952]

The bots could be surprisingly competent, both as allies and as enemies! Though of course there were still hiccups; the damn medic not getting down out of the Anansi to come rez me, for example... XD

[@bobzurad873]

I absolutely loved this game. It's a shame it didn't get the attention it deserved.

[@regmtait100]

Me too. Absolutely loved it. Thought it was so immersive, yet really playable and 'gamey'. Maybe too understated for a Quake title, with little gore or spectacular character design. Who knows.

[@CatsOverdrive]

"it didn't get the attention it deserved" because it launched at the worst time; just one month before Call of Duty 4, despite both being released by, and under Activision.

[@AdamS-nd5hi]

I played a demo for this for over 100 hours. Anyone remember game spy? This game was great and would love to see it revisited

[@Johhnnyy]

Dude I grew up on the exact same thing on the one map where the beginning has the bunker and the little beach islands, but spy is where someone had a brief case right and you had to find and kill them?

[@Juwan24]

I remember when it was on Xbox official magazine demo disc

[@admiralkaede]

Yeah I played the demo attention to because it was very rare for me to get a new game

[@ironpapay9933]

Yes and demo of some unreal game and bf1942

[@aesemon5392]

Gamespy is where I hung out circa 2000 played don't know how many hours ET:wolfenstien. First time I joined a clan too.

[@TheCrimsonElite666]

I feel that it being a Battlefield game with a Quake skin is fitting. You're not playing as a overpowered soldier that's expected to fight hundreds of enemies in labyrinthian maps, you're playing as a normal soldier or expendable Strogg soldier in a giant map with vehicles. This game could do with a new remaster similar to Quake 1 and 2 that polishes up the visuals and animations.

[@mohamadredzwan6628]

Man I can't put it in more fitting then this It legit just as said battle for territory not a strong individual going in but expandable normal freaking soldier that fight in a map.

[@ExoticccNick]

Quake wars and Section 8 were two underrated games for their time. Great memories of playing those games

[@entropybear5847]

Good games, just bad timing and trying to tick too many playerbases boxes. Wolf:ET players were still playing Wolf;ET. BF players played BF. Quake players had their hipster phase and played CoD because they were too grown up for arena shooters or something, I never figured out why those went out of fashion.

[@OverlordZephyros]

i miss section 8 too

[@perfectlyroundcircle]

"Pretty good" is an understatement. This game has amazing offline bots, deployables, vehicles, classes, factions, a very simple/non-intrusive leveling system, is fast paced, has the ability to host your own dedicated servers (unlike many modern games), and just has great map/sound/gameplay design overall. Even if you don't want to try the multiplayer (which is still sometimes alive at certain times of the day in 2024), you should definitely play the campaign twice (one time for each faction), by yourself. It's just a lot of fun, and a decent challenge if you play on the highest difficulty. I think a lot of modern skirmish games are lacking the polish the developers put into ET:QW. Almost a two decade old game and it's still super fun to play both offline and online.

[@elksalmon84]

The gameplay was definitely miles better than Battlefield/front. It encouraged team play and discouraged ratting. Back in time I did regret spending money on BF2 and BF3, but never regret buying Quake Wars.

[@perfectlyroundcircle]

@@elksalmon84 It's also much more fun offline, and quite different than the realistic tacticool games. So, refreshing. I'll always enjoy playing a match or two of this game against bots.

[@alfredspice3061]

Using human bodies as spawn points for Aliens and the spy/disquise feature were great.

[@reichtanglevictor1694]

the AI is amazing in this game, the shortcuts they can take and tk-ing you to revive you with more health is big brain

[@cobaltcardsgaming5982]

Quake Wars was a surprisingly fun game, even offline. I had many fun hours playing this with friends, and every once in a while we still boot it up to goof off in offline mode.

[@jamesking232]

I loved this game. Just like OG Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!

[@frydac]

I played RTCW ET so much, but never played this, I wasn't really playing games around that time, but looks like I should have..

[@mobilegamercapone]

This was the best fps I have ever played

[@aesemon5392]

Chatting on gamespy and playing RTCW:ET did not help me study.

[@havocco]

ET? Game od my life mate!

[@QuadRipper]

Didn't play this, but yea ET was so good. Played many years of competitive ET.

[@BalgaBear]

That is wild this is being discussed more than a decade after the release I'm here because I want to play again!

[@DTOXTV]

I truly loved Enemy Territory. Played it to death over the other bigger titles at the time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@IncognitoBambino]

This was one of those games that had a demo where you could only play one map, but you could play it as many times as you wanted. Always had the demo on my ps3 and loved playing it from time to time

[@admiralkaede]

Same

[@aesemon5392]

Ditto

[@colinmcom14]

Haha same, wish I had bought the full game!

[@TheWOLF1201]

I distinctively remember this and MAG were the best BF Clones. Sadly MAG never went anywhere 😢

[@Nonebit]

that game goes hard, even tho the 256 player cap was fake, the game was still fun

[@BLUEPELICAN234]

MAG was SO awsome. It’s a shame that SVER dominated due to better defensive placements on most maps, but I played it to death. Was just an amazing game. So sad these games are just gone forever

[@SgtZaqq]

5:58 talks about Quake 2, shows the original Quake, lol.

[@BreakOutOfYourTrance]

Right.

[@altaiir541]

I miss this game so much, ima try and download it later today

[@Nuggy1980]

Paul wedgewood Splash damage CEO was my clan leader in qwtf. Clan Earthquakers. He made quake3 fortress and that bunch went on to found splash damage.

[@adrian424587]

One of my favorite games of all time

[@dudeitsivan]

Thank you for making this video! Would love to see an influx of new players. As I'm sure you can imagine, when a game is this old it is very rare to see new players joining up

[@suspiria6493]

Back to 2012, i was 6 then and used to play it every day with my older brother. Those were good times.

[@zombina9999]

this game need a remaster or legit come on steam or on console

[@poohboochie1]

I bought this game for PS3 when it was $20 and I played it for years. Endless replayability!

[@TheGamingDefinition]

I loved this game back in the day, was one of my first multiplayer experiences

[@tristangoings2057]

"I'm going to Team Kill revive you!"

[@Blarg]

Anyone else just played the Demo offline with bots? That was so much fun

[@himitsugawa4226]

No wonder why we have "Bison" walker and GEV-hovertank in Quake 4. It was AFTER Strogg invasion, which we witnessed in Quake Wars. You can say that we "stole" strogg technologies. But it's even better.

[@celladoor_uk]

This game was fucking awesome, a true hidden gem.

[@TTPBeats]

Bro, where tf can i buy this, i wanna relive my memories again.

[@adikmen007]

I remember playing this, never online because i pirate it. It was a very different game than what we had back in the mid 2000s.

[@noel_s_visuals]

I played the crap out of it. It was amazing. I even still have the original game in my basement

[@BgT1990]

Reminds me of how Frontlines: Fuel of war, another large scale, not terrible battlefield-like came out in 2008 and was very short-lived too :D

[@tylermitchell8649]

I remember playing this Demo over and over again while I was a teenager barely getting into listening to Pixies at the same time. Man, what a great time.

[@awakeandwatching953]

HA NEVER PLAYED THIS BUT WAS ADDICTED TO THE BF 2 DEMO.. AN ENTIRE 64 PLAYER MAP..good ol days.. dunno why i was shouting lol

[@Johhnnyy]

I was addicted to the online multiplayer demo, I think about this game often and how amazing the different maps and game mode where it makes me nostalgic cause I have so many vivid memories of moments from this game.

[@admiralkaede]

Same I never got to own the game but I did play a ton of the demo

[@KaanTechCrazy]

This and Frontlines Fuel of War. Ah man. I wonder how it would be today if we had more than 2 main FPS titles today.

[@greenuranium2052]

I used to love this game!! Used to play it at my friends all the time

[@Johhnnyy]

This game actually lives rent free in my head, I grew up on the demo and had so many vivid memories from funny and crazy moments so I just get flashback of little flashes of gameplay

[@angelinadash2396]

NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS I EVER THOUGHT A PROFESSIONAL GAMING JOURNALIST CHANNEL WOULD COVER THIS GREAT GAME EVER, LET ALONE RECENTLY NEARLY 2 WHOLE DECADES LATER! I'M SO GLAD PPL STILL PLAY AND TALK ABOUT THIS GAME! I THOUGHT IT WAS DEAD IN THE WATER!

[@Xyos212]

0:39 - I always remembered that zoom in effect. This game had a lot of cool little touches like this. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@alljarod]

I completely missed out on ever knowing about or playing this, but thanks to this video im going to play it now. Alot of cool concepts for a bf styled game at that time.

[@friendlyreaper9012]

It's like a combination of battlefield and modern battlefront games when it comes to doing objectives. The best part about this game was that certain objectives can only be done by one specific class.

[@captcrunchy]

Got like 4 copies of this game 3 on ps3 and 1 for xbox 360

[@MaximilianoAedo]

I used to play Quake Wars a lot throughout the 2010s. I always played as the medic, because I always prioritized keeping my teammates alive.

[@Ratich]

1:31 it also suffered because it was too similar to the original Enemy Territory which at that point was free so a lot of people either stuck with or were gravitated towards the original.

[@tornadoaftermath]

This game introduced me to FPS games as a kid. Still remember going over to a friend's house and playing either this or Empire Earth for hours and hours.

[@ShayesWorld]

My parents got me this on the 360 when I was younger. Super underrated! A great game to play when your live ran out. All around a great game.

[@airun5362]

Enemy territory Quake Wars very heavy on PC specs, didnt mentioned that.

[@kazisamagicaldolphin]

Can they bring this back please? I think Battlebit shows that there is room for more games in this space.

[@I2econ1]

Played this game so much as a kid, I was so young I always called it Quake Oars 💀 but countless hours spent building bridges and flying around in a jet pack

[@aurorafox1283]

For me ET:QW is a really great spinoff of the Quke series and tells story of what kinda happened before Quake 2 and Quake 4. I like it a lot

[@shineandcriss]

I still play this infrequently. I love that you decided to showcase this game. I hope it brings more attention to the game, and in turn more traffic to the current selection of online servers. I would love to see Dice incorporate more variety into Rush mode objectives (destroy a bridge, breach a gate, etc.) in future Battlefield games.

[@HamHammGaming]

This game was awesome. Only made it big on PC. They should do a remastered version with cross play.

[@DaVoxxii]

This was probably one of the first games I'd ever played as a kid next to MWII. My dad had the Limited Collectors Edition, but I never managed to get it from him. Just bought my own limited collecters edition off of eBay! I knew that the ETQW revival stuff was around, but the nostalgia from being able to have a physical copy of the game and all the bonus goodies that comes with a collectors edition is well worth it to me

[@Peecow81]

i was busy playing bf2 in this era

[@Edimonde]

Wow! this game just popped up in my head a few days ago. I have many fond memories of playing it way back when. Thanks for informing about he still active community! Im going to download this and go down memory lane. :D

[@coffee0093]

I loved Wolfenstein Enemy Territory but by the time I go around to Quake Wars it was already dead, such a shame cuz I would of loved it. I think I still have a disc somewhere

[@kendrickl5913]

I found this game for $2 at a used bookstore and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made

[@7Mizfit]

I remember when I was a kid, going to microcenter and playing a game demo and not wanting to leave because I was immediately hooked on it, and I never remembered what it was called, and here it is. I would've loved to see this get more attention than it did

[@altaiir541]

i hope they re-release it with updated graphics.

[@SoldierOfFate]

This game needs to be remastered. It had SO much potential.

[@TAURON85]

Remastered? Lol Why?

[@dozyfantastic4579]

man, i Loved Quake wars

[@Zero-Sun]

I played the heck out of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but this game did not click with me at that time. Looking back at it now it seems like a good game with a bad timing

[@autocrat9791]

Those were the days man. Good memories, deserved a remake or remastered edition.

[@bean6377]

I played the hell out of this came when it came out because I wasn’t allowed to play M-rated games yet as a kid. I was always blown away by the scope of battles and atmosphere.

[@blueshit199]

it is a testament to this game how no call of duty plays good nowadays, but ETQW is still hella fun to this day

[@rymosrac]

Ease of installation and working well with relatively low playercounts for a battlefield-esque game made this a LAN party staple for years!

[@CptCthulhu]

MY CHILDHOOD

[@Thesavagesouls]

One neat touch is that the stroggs are wearing the armors of their previous lifes, which are space marines armors, since the stroggs probably fought the humans in space before invading Earth. Unlike the human faction which are from the GDF and only fight on Earth.

[@Adamcint]

In 2007 I was 10 and wasn’t allowed to play rated M games like Halo or call of duty so this being Rated T was great and let me experience my first shooter game even if it was only with offline bots

[@regmtait100]

I loved this game as an old Quake guy-seems forgotten in history. Just right in scale. Really 'gamey' (so playable, no gore, clear objectives), and the vehicles were great.

[@nkasnowman]

this is a game ive been trying to remember the name of for years. i played the hell out of this on my 360, whether it was on or offline. great game.

[@ZubiForce]

Oh... I plaid it a couple of times on a cybercaffee and had completely forgotten about it! Thanks for doing these type of videos on older, still playable, games!

[@BreakOutOfYourTrance]

As a quake veteran, this looks nothing like Quake. I'm blown away. Quake seems to have struggled with an identity since forever.

[@kacperwejchan3897]

Btw. It's still online and have some players playing from quite frequently.

[@DracoMeteor91]

I remember playing the OG enemy territory, such a fun game it was

[@Grimnir_x]

Man, I can't believe I completely missed this game.

[@shimadabr]

Wow, that's crazy... I played a lot of this game when I was a kid and didn't remember this at all (specially the name). Seeing the footage is bringing back some memories haha.

[@HakanBacon]

This definitely looks like something i would have loved back in the day. Missed memories damn

[@EposVox]

I only got to play a tiny bit of this, I should go back

[@warsmithstefanos2095]

This game was an absolute banger. Played it a lot

[@Csilk]

Was assymetrical and featured advanced movement with strafe jumping. Besides that the look back at it was pretty accurate.

[@TerkanTyr]

I loved this game, I wish they'd make a new one. Another classic I recently rediscovered was Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, with the mohawk viking biting a grenade on the yellow cover. I couldn't believe I had forgot that game completely when I rediscovered it. It was my favorite for years. Dropping MOABs and Nuclear Bunker Busters.

[@Ozzymortal]

I love quake wars, got it set up on my steam deck so I play it whenever I’m on the go

[@The3Shogun]

I put my blood, sweat, and tears, on this game. RIP to my childhood 😢

[@t___m]

I used to play it as a kid. Loved it so much despite playing it offline only because the key code on the DVD box was used. I gotta play it again.

[@jc9665]

I completely forgot about this game until the very moment I saw this title.

[@admiralkaede]

I played this game so much sadly I could only play one single map as I had the free version of the game because I didn't really get bought games but I still had a great time I never got to experience a lot of those game modes I'll have to look at gang that installer in the rest of the stuff I wish you put it in the description

[@obsn7809]

On this game i did fall in love with Heli flying and gameplay !

[@corpusc]

looks like there's no weapon variety, which is a key aspect of Quake games. everything appears to be variations of a machinegun

[@Spartaner627]

Actually i did play it. A fair bunch. What a throw back. I believe I wanted this and cod 4 for Christmas but my brother wished for cod 4 on x360 earlier. so my parents said you don't need it for pc if you can play it on Xbox. Any time my brother was playing i went to quake wars on my PC. Had some connection issues early on and almost exclusively stayed offline. I loved the turret building, the flying and driving was great, just so many aspects that worked well. class specific side objectives was terrific.The ai was pretty adequate for me at the time as well. I'm gonna have to give this a shot again (and I might finally reach that point of feeling old when talking about my favorite games of the past)

[@CondemnedInformer]

I remember playing this a lot at an internet cafe with friends. this and Warcraft 3 took up much of our time there.

[@greenscorpeon3]

This game sounds incredible. It really is a shame that this game didnt get the attention it deserved. I hadnt even heard of this game until now. I really wonder how the landscape of battlefield games would have looked now, if Quake wars was actually successful and would have made sequels. How would have the battlefield franchise evolved when faced with a competent competitor like Quake Wars

[@Zayed22x]

I loved this game so much and I'm so glad someone made a video on it

[@TonyVallad]

Did not know about this game before, but considering myself somewhat of a BF fan, I would have loved to find this one at launch ! Hoping Battlebit makes a difference for the development of the next BF...

[@Meidenless]

God, I miss this game. Wish I had gotten into it more heavily.

[@avery4149]

There is also mods for this game….the 4-5 mods available on moddb. The one that I downloaded for this game basically changed some settings to make the shooting less RNG and some other stuff. Love this game.

[@BAD_HOBO]

This game was really fun. Got it as a gift from the grands but didn't have internet at the time. The bots were really good too. "Do I look like a Strogg?"

[@Soctom]

"Big sandbox shooters weren't a common thing in the early 2000s" Tribes 2 and many other lesser known games would like to have a word with you.

[@damienlee1165]

Anyone here remember that PS game called MAG? Never played it since I was an Xbox kid but the whole concept and scale of that game definitely made me salivate.

[@samrobson8701]

Needs a remaster!

[@animalxINSTINCT89]

I honestly thought I imagined remembering this game since I never heard anyone else mention it ever till now

[@Nitromessiah]

This game was THE best of all online MP FPS games. I miss it so.

[@JourneymanJohn]

I played this and Frontline's Fuel of War back in the day. Good memories
