Public beta keys for Quake Wars coming this week
The public beta test for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is coming, and boy, everybody’s itching for the details. According to the official community site, there will be 60,000 public beta slots available. Half of the slots will be given to FilePlanet subscribers, and the other half to people with free FilePlanet accounts.
If you guess I belong to the second half since I’m such a cheapskate, you’re correct.
The ETQW public beta client won’t work without a valid beta key. To get this beta key, you’ll have to log in a special ETQW mini-site that will go up in FilePlanet using your account. When the keys are already available, you’ll get a download link for the beta client—along with the valid beta key of course.
The most exciting part of this news: day 1 of the beta test’s key distribution is currently scheduled for the middle of this week. The mini-site will be live on that same day.

ETQW is being developed by Splash Damage, and will be published by Activision. The game will be using a modified version of the Doom III engine. Based on the screenshots we’ve seen, ETQW won’t have the claustrophobic feel of the 2004 shooter’s Mars base.
