New Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Demo

quakewars.jpg

I have been playing a lot of Quake Wars recently and loving every minute of it. The game is really well designed, with perfect class balance and extremely well designed missions. I can tell that I am going to be addicted to this game for a long time. For those of you who have not checked out the game yet, a new demo was released today. The new demo incorporates all the improvements that were made to ETQW in the three months since its release, including the new training mode that was introduced in 1.4. The training mode is a great introduction to the unique gameplay concepts and mechanics featured in Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, so this is a fantastic way for those still on the fence to experience the latest and greatest version of the game.

The new demo can be downloaded here. While you are waiting, you might want to check out the two training videos for the demo:
