Appreciate the link but the download is doing less than 80kb/sec so even a file this small will take over a day to download.

I can't believe this is abandonware. After playing the original free Enemy Territory (2003) I was super excited for this that me and my brother bought it on release (with the trading cards and everything). It was really disappointing that the player base fizzled out so fast, the game never really took off like Battlefield 1942, Desert Combat mod or Battlefield 2. It came out at the wrong time is all. It had really interesting concepts, the turrets, the differing modes, the vehicle asymmetry. The maps got stale however, they didn't seem timeless like those of Enemy Territory (2003).

Though it was nice to see more of the Strogg.

If you have a QHD or 4k monitor and 144Hz,

You have to go in the "tourney" folder and add this in the etqwconfig.cfg

//resolution and aspect ratio
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1" // allows you to put custom screen resolution, you can also put number from 1-15 to use in game settings
seta r_aspectRatio "1" // allows custom screen ratio, you can also put number 0-3, 0=4:3, 1=16:9, 2=16:10, 3=5:4
seta r_customWidth "2560" //custom width, 2560
seta r_customHeight "1440" // custom high, 1440
seta com_unlockFPS "1" //unlocks fps over 30fps
seta com_unlock_maxFPS "120" //locks fps to x value, helps if you want to limit frames with vsync off
seta r_displayRefresh "120" //sets refresh rate, 60 is default, if you have 144hz monitor feel free to change it, don't forget to set other settings accordingly

//Custom aspect ratio
seta r_customAspectRatioV "9"
seta r_customAspectRatioH "21"

Great overlooked game, spent a lot of time back in the day playing against bots since everyone was too busy playing Team Fortress 2(me included most of the time) instead of this. Still worth playing today especially if you can find an actual server with people on it.

The Quake series is such a divisive franchise. Every game is different from the last. But it's funny how the games people hate the most (Quake 2,4, and Enemy Territory) are the only ones with any cohesion. Quake 1 and 3 are the ones people rave about the most, but they have nothing to do with the war against the Strogg.

Wtf, you do realise quake has various meaning and it's not entirely associated with Quake game franchise XDDD Idk how unintelligent you have to be to blow out such comment.
