Line 4:
'''Enemy Territory: Quake Wars''', launched in 2007, is the latest original canonical installment in the ''[[Quake]]'' series, and it's also part of the class-based FPS ''Enemy Territory'' series, which started with ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein|Wolfenstein]]: Enemy Territory'', four years ago.
 
Canonically, it takes place as the [[Prequel]] of ''[[Quake II (Video Game)|Quake II]]'', with the Stroggs [[Alien Invasion|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, [[The Medic|Medic / Technician]], [[The Engineer|Engineer / Constructor]], Covert Ops (Spy) / Infiltrator and Field Ops / Oppressor.
 
And then, both teams fight in one of the four campaigns of three maps each one, taking place in North America, Africa, Northern Europe and the Pacific. The objectives of each map in the campaigns are different between each other.
 
== This game provides examples of:<ref>Again, tropes from [[Quake II (Video Game)|Quake II]] and [[Quake IV (Video Game)4|Quake IV]] may apply here as well.</ref> ==
* [[Back From the Brink]]: 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.
* [[Badass Army]]
* [[Base Onon Wheels]]: EDF's MCP.
* [[EMP]]: EMP grenades temporarily shut down enemy turrets and vehicles.
* [[Human Resources]]: The Strogg technincians can hack fallen GDF soldier bodies to become host spawnpoints for their team.
Line 20:
* [[More Dakka]]: Some vehicles.
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: Any Strogg facility you could think.
* [[Oddball in Thethe Series]]: ''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 ''[[Doom (Video Gameseries)|Doom]]: Enemy Territory'' or ''Enemy Territory: [[Rage (Videovideo Gamegame)|Rage]]''. (''[[Brink]]'' is Enemy Territory 3, so those others will have to wait until Brink is done)
* [[RPG Elements]]: Unlike the other games of the Quake saga, you gain better weapons and abilities with gameplay.
* [[Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom]]: The only game in the series which averts this.
