Territory: QUAKE Wars Website now offers details on the demo for Splash
Damage's now-gold teamplay shooter. The demo is still expected on Monday, with

system requirements, and describes its content. Word is:
The Enemy
Territory: QUAKE Wars PC Demo comes with the final version of Valley, one of the
larger battlegrounds in the game. Set in Yosemite, California, Valley has the
Global Defense Force on the attack, as they attempt to foil a Strogg
contamination plot centering on a water treatment facility. Valley features a
great blend of close quarters infantry action, vehicle battles and aircraft
dogfights, and the varied terrain combining mountains, waterways, tunnels and
industrial structures allows for many different playing styles. To top it all
off, there's a multitude of optional side missions and plenty of opportunities
to try out the various defense turrets, artillery and radar deployables - Valley
is a prime example of the frantic and diverse action you'll find in Enemy
Territory: QUAKE Wars.

Valley Map
Guide for a full run-down of the team objectives, secondary missions and a
host of tactical tips for getting the most out of the various GDF and Strogg
weapons, items, deployables and vehicles.
For those who already played Valley in the Public Beta, the map has undergone
further balance improvements based on your feedback. Most notably, the GDF can
now capture the Contaminator Forward Spawn before the Shield Generator is
hacked, which really cranks up the action around that objective. On top of that,
the Demo contains the final XP and weapon balance, player movement, and vehicle
handling.
The Demo also features ETQW's bots, so you can explore the map and gameplay in
single player mode with computer-controlled opponents, or use the bots to fill
up empty slots on multiplayer servers. We are also including the standalone
server as well as the server launcher tool, so you can host your own online and
LAN games.
