Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Preview
GameSpy keeps the content flowing with a preview on Splash Damage's upcoming multiplayer shooter, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Here's a snippet on calling for a vehicle:
With the maps in Quake Wars being so much larger than the original Enemy Territory, this raised an issue that's come up in similar games: what happens when you find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere without a vehicle? The answer: the character calls in a vehicle drop. At the moment, the procedure is a bit comical, as a supply plane flies high overhead and drops out a vehicle sans parachute, which then comes plummeting to earth and lands with a few bounces. (You'll want to move out of the way after calling for a new vehicle.) The question of how often you'll be able to call for a new vehicle has yet to be settled; it's safe to say that no one wants jeeps falling out of the sky every 10 seconds.
