The folks of Enemy Territory have announced a public beta that is to be released in the near future.
After the closed beta testing, the developers have decided to open a public beta for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. They want to give more people the ability to give feedback about the game so far. They want to see how the game behaves under different combinations of hardware and they want to get a better idea of how the game plays for the general gaming pubic.
The public beta will consist out of a single map named "Sewer" which is part of ET:QW's pacific campaign. The map revolves around a Strogg base in Japan. It's hidden, as the name suggests, a sewer. 'It’s an interesting mix of outdoor and indoor, vehicle and infantry combat, deployables and counter-deployables and good old-fashioned FPS combat' says badman, writer of the Dev Blog.
The beta is not the demo, so don't expect a finished game. It is purely an opportunity to gain feedback from a large group of users while testing stability and performance on different sorts of hardware combinations. The beta will also collect information on your hardware configuration.
There are a total of 60.000 slots, when the beta opens participants will be sent their unique license code which is required for play. FilePlanet will distribute the license codes along with the beta clients. A fixed number of slots have been set aside for FilePlanet subscribers. The rest of the slots will go to people with free FilePlanet accounts, you don't have to pay anyone to participate in the beta.
More information about the ET:QW beta and the official start date will be announced in a few days.
