Represent the US in QWO at WCG!

image: wcgGame developer, Splash Damage have today announced that they will be teaming up with the World Cyber Games executives and will be sending an American team to the event with their airtravel and hotel provided by the WCG organisation. As you may have read on Crossfire previously, Quakewars Online is one of this year's promotional games that is being featured at the WCG 2010 Finals in Los Angelos.

As the Asian and European slots have already been filled, this left Splash Damage with only to send an American team. So for those of you who used to play Enemy Territory: Quake Wars in America, then this is a great opportunity for you.

Basic Game Rules
  • Teams take turns playing GDF and Strogg, once each on same map
  • The team finishing all three objectives faster is selected the winner
  • If the teams have the exact same time, then other methods are used to determine winner


Example Match 1
VoDs: http://kr.wcg.com/TV/TV_play.asp?keyno=C10081310001&index=200 & http://kr.wcg.com/TV/TV_play.asp?keyno=C10081310002&index=200
  • Objectives: GDF to build EMP scrambler, destroy sewer entrance, hack sewer controls
  • In the first game, the team playing the GDF side finished all three missions, but in the second, the GDF side could not even complete the first mission, thus the team playing the GDF side first was selected winner


Example Match 2
VoDs: http://kr.wcg.com/TV/TV_play.asp?keyno=C10082010002&index=200 & http://kr.wcg.com/TV/TV_play.asp?keyno=C10082010012&index=200
  • Missions: Strogg team to destroy signal scrambler generator, build mining laser, destroy bio-scanner
  • Same as the 1st match, the team playing the Strogg side first completed all three missions, while the opponent couldn’t finish even 1


The World Cyber Games take place between September 30th & October 3rd, so there's really not a lot of time to get your team submissions in. If you're interested, then leave a reply at this news post on the Splash Damage website.

Good luck.

Parent
quake wars going huge
Trying to get keys for this online mega.
Parent
haha me and elven have had keys for this gaming portal for about 1 year now :D
Parent
Congratulations. Pointless playing it vs. Koreans on a 250+ ping.

I'm talking about getting keys for people to play in a EU cup...
Parent
do that Seanza ... :)
Parent
Proving to be difficult since it's nothing to do with Splash Damage :(
Parent
Quake Wars is not dead? I'm confused.
Not a chance meight!
Parent
i fucking love quake wars.
Parent
get et :P
Might happen when ET Live goes... well... live!
Parent
will that ever happen?
Parent
Fingers crossed, eh?!
Parent
Filter ETQW
Parent
what seanza said
Parent
pff journal....
Parent
I really cant understand how and why that game is still activ in asia/america? why not in europe then?

So that game is activ again/still?
Some random korean company made an MMOFPS out of ET:QW and called it Quake Wars Online, that's what they're playing there. Considering the WCG originated from Korea I guess they iether get paid money to feature QWO or the game is actually popular in Korea...
Parent
It's not a MMOFPS. It's an online version of ET:QW, not a massive multiplayer online first person shooter.
Parent
In this case the MMO part refers to a central lobby system.
Parent
no, its just wrong here
Parent
Matter of terminology...
Parent
It's a new game, not the same one. However, ET:QW is still kinda active in EU. I'm running weekly cups for it.
Parent
Afraid not, sorry. Will let you know if I find one.
Parent
i dont even know how/where to play the game , i installed it ~ 2 weeks ago but i couldnt even patch the game anymore :D sad :-(

hope to play it once again , game was not that bad imo
Parent
do u know who will be playing QWO for europe?
Parent
No idea. Rumour has it, it's SD themselves, but I'm not too sure.
Parent
lol. it's a pity, would like to try it once tbh
Parent
Yeah. I'm trying to get some keys for us euros to play.
Parent
nice. what would i have to do for getting one?
Parent
Being active in ETQW might give you a better chance :P

http://tlr-etqw.tourney.cc/
Parent
yeah we already thought about participating but we currently haven't got enough players. so immo no qw for us
Parent
Put yourself up for a merc or something, it's been really fun : )
Parent
hmm k. i will think about it even though the spaintards are back once again ;)
Parent
nobody likes them ;D
Parent
i like them ! :)
Parent
They never left!
Parent
haha... just like the vanilita guys xD
Parent
damn i'd like to play. dunno why almost nobody likes etqw. If anyone has etqw key and wants to trade it (for starcraft/w3/GW or smth keys) let me know :P
Parent
It's a mega cheap game these days.
Parent
Yeah, I bought it for like 5 € or something at a supermarket. :P

Have yet to try it properly, should be enough people in TGT to get a team running. Will you be hosting more of those ET:QW tournies? :)
Parent
Hosting them every Wednesday, then in October every Sunday : )
Parent
All right then. I'll install it again soon and see what I can gather up :)
Parent
Nice one. Aero are already involved. Force Shiv to fix his ETQW problem he gets on his PC!!
Parent
All right, will do :)
Parent
I'll look for it. Is there any community irc channel?
Parent
#etqw.gather is probably the main one.
Parent
Fatal attraction takes it if they decide to play/
team fate will probably show up, same with team hot. would be nice if hubris did :D
need key, need team
Slovenia Mamut.si incoming? easy money for them i think?
They're not going :P
Parent
ive watched the streams and the asians cant play the games :D

would be pretty easy for them :-))
Parent
would be pretty easy for everyone, who played qw on a higher level i think ;)
Parent
Whos playing for EU?
Parent
rossko has removed you from his buddylist !

TEAM HOT? THEY'RE TERRIBLE!
looks like team hot will get it? most expierenced team there?
Probably most inactive team too. The fairest way for them to decide is probably a playoff.
Parent
Splash Damage must start making a new et game.
Let them finish Brink first :P
Parent
BRINK is probably the closest game to W:ET we're getting in the next few years. Unless id decide(d) to make a Quake Live'ish ET Live that is.
Parent
lol they changed sewer map, look at the vod
Yeah lol, want to try this version now!
Parent
instant way to balcony = win
Parent
lol at these asian teams :D who's playing for europe btw? :)
omg just installed ET QW yesterday maybe this is a sign? :o
seariously? main news?
Seriously? Filter ETQW?
Parent
lol wow, not sure if there's some kind of lag or what in those VoDs or if their aim is just.. not that great :p

gotta be some huge value in attending that tourney, who the hell is playing for EU? I asume there will be some ex-u5/bL guys playing for US and they'll probably breeze through the competition.
bloodline hahahahah
Parent
hey, I don't know anything about the us scene :D
those are the only two US teams I know, I blame wizzel, he was the one bragging about bloodline being a topteam in the US.
Parent
yea bl was never really a top team they were okay, it was pretty much just emanon and paul that were good - and they ended up playing with u5 for a bit then both quit et - the only 2 american players that were associated with u5 playing qw now are special and radea - silver did once upon a time
Parent
bL were overrated (mostly by themselves)
Parent
haha i was listening to special radea anim etc all re-install and play last night they going for gold, even though anim cant play

games a joke, but a trip to LA would be fun
chinese and quake :)
what teams are playing from europe? ; o
its funny

people making W:ET with a better graphic when there is already quakewars that satisfies already all the requests of more graphic details

many years are past but it's still a kick ass grapic game

(too bad for the vehicles)
Now this doesn't sound half bad.
Any chance of you coming on IRC or summit! Was wondering where you've been!
Parent
loule , fok i go in Asia.
wut is this we need to go show those Americans again? :D
