Paul “Locki” Wedgewood of Splash Damage updated the ET:QW development blog, announcing a new public beta release for QuakeCon.
The beta includes a host of features and updates as well as a new map: Valley. Here it is, straight from the blog:
The GDF need to destroy a Strogg Prionite Contaminator that’s poisoning a reservoir (the Strogg are attempting to render the local population defenseless to Stroggification). Our Level Design Team has been polishing Valley like crazy, plus it’s larger than Sewer, and features four additional GDF vehicles (the Anansi Attack ‘Copter, Bumblebee Transport Chopper, the Platypus Assault Boat, and the Mobile Command Post) and improved visuals over Sewer. We’re confident you’re going to have fun on this map!
And here’s a short list of updates and features:
-Balancing, Refinements and Bugs
-Improved Bots
-Improved Prediction and Player Physics
-Improved Vehicle Physics and Controls
-Improved Interface
-Improved Audio
-Improved Game Performance
-PunkBuster
-Unranked Server Support
-Brand-new Statistics Website
All QuakeCon BYOC attendees will be able to play the beta. After a week or two, you’ll be able to get it from FilePlanet.
Read the full list and descriptions over at the ET:QW Dev Blog.
