History VideoGame / EnemyTerritoryQuakeWars

* OddballInTheSeries: ''Quake Wars'' is comparatively slower-paced and objective-based instead of having traditional multiplayer modes. {{Justified|Trope}} in that the game, although is canonical in the Quakeverse, (taking place before ''Quake II'') is part of the ''Enemy Territory'' series, which started with ''Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory''. One can expect now to hear about ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}: Enemy Territory'' or ''Enemy Territory: VideoGame/{{Rage}}''. (''VideoGame/{{Brink}}'' is Enemy Territory 3, so those others will have to wait until Brink is done)

Canonically, it is a {{prequel}} to ''VideoGame/QuakeII'', with the Stroggs [[AlienInvasion invading the Earth]]. The player takes the place of a human or strogg warrior, first by choosing the side, and then, by choosing a class. Each side has 5 different classes: Soldier / Aggressor, [[TheMedic Medic / Technician]], [[TheEngineer Engineer / Constructor]], Covert Ops (Spy) / Infiltrator and Field Ops / Oppressor.

** The Oppressor/Field Ops can use a flare/smoke grenade to call a satellital laser/bombardeer which follows a path destroying anything in it's way.

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Laser Drill in the Strogg side, which, objective-wise, is the equivalent of the EDF's MCP.

* DeathFromAbove: The Strogg Hornet. The EDF also has a plane of their own. Also, the Oppressor/Field Ops can use a flare/smoke grenade to call a satellital laser/bombardeer which follows a path destroying anything in it's way.

* DeathFromAbove: The Strogg Hornet. The EDF also has a plane of their own. Also, the Strogg Oppressor can use a flare to call a huge laser which follows a path destroying anything in it's way.

** The console version's intro plays exactly like ''Quake II'' and ''Quake IV''. With the exception that, [[Prequel this time]], it's the Stroggos who are invading Earth.

* BackFromTheBrink: The Strogg have nearly wiped out humanity at this point in the story. Judging from the plot of Quake II, things turn out pretty well for us.

* HumanResources: The Strogg technincians can hack fallen GDF soldier bodies to become host spawnpoints for their team.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: The Titan tank looks very similar to a M1 Abrams.
* LandMineGoesClick: For no real reason, since they are triggered by some high-tech motion sensors.

* ZombieApocalypse: In one mission the Strogg's objective is to poison the Hetch Hetchy water supply, thus corrupting all of California's water and turning all who drink it into drones.
