Quake Wars: Tactical Assault

Bravehardt — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:38:00 GMT

The TAW QW Division is excited to announce the arrival of Quake Wars: Tactical Assault. This mod for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, created by Azuvector, offers us not only extra features, but new content as well. Gruesome blood & gore, new vehicles, new deployables, new weapons, etc. This fresh face for ETQW is a welcome revival to a truly great First Person Shooter. QWTA has been described as a “realism mod” but it is much more than that. Tactical Assault represents the next step in Quake Wars and unlike other ETQW mods, it is FULLY customizable. That means we can turn on or off each individual setting or mix and match them for any number of millions of possible server configurations.
Here is the website for QWTA: http://qwta.moddb.com/ , but you won't need it to get it. QWTA will be available for automatic download and automatic install from any TAW QWTA server.

QWTA also offers us a chance to change what is known as regular Quake Wars for our “vanilla” servers. We will be making the following improvements to the basic game:

-Shots and explosions draw gruesome spurts of blood from bodies

-Removing the text artillery warning that appears on the HUD when a Hammer missile or Dark Matter Cannon is fired

-Using the Quake 4 Dark Matter Cannon which launchers a gravimetric singularity and sucks things in and then violently explodes them

-Using a nuclear Hammer missile which has a brighter flash, mushroom cloud and it has an EMP effect on nearby enemy vehicles for 10 seconds

-Using reversible airstrikes which allows you to right click and make your vampyre or violator go right to left instead of left to right

-Using instant gibs for covert ops backstabs so when someone is backstabbed they are unrevivable

-Using the Quake 4 Railgun which allows strogg railgun shots to go through GDF bodies

-Using the Tactical Shield Absorber which allows Oppressors to recal their tactical shields by right clicking

Other new things in TA which WON'T be in the “vanilla” servers BUT might be available for use (depending on configs created by the staff which turn each of these settings on or off) in the “pure TA servers” will include:

-Improved Shotguns/Nailguns (higher rate of fire and higher damage)

-switching vehicle spawns to requesting drops for all vehicles

-the screen fading to black while you are dead and gibbed

-The lock-on, splash damage Quake 4 Hyperblaster

-Limiting the number of each class

-realistic movement (toggling strafe jumping and toggling lean shooting)

-toggling mine icons

-toggling mine trigger warnings

-toggling lock warnings

-the Jupiter tank (modified Titan which shoots the BFG10k)

-the Abaddon tank (modified desecrator which has an anti-vehicle plasma beam and an anti infantry flame thrower)

-the use of consumable Field Experience to drop different vehicles (FE is the average of your whole team's XP)

-toggling vehicle crosshairs

-realistic weapons (light weapons don't damage heavy vehicles and do more infantry damage)

-making radar detect only vehicles/deployables, or having it detect everything

-making vehicle drops cost more FE/XP

-vehicles run out of ammunition or not

Check out these videos which show some of the new features!

In TAW we've been running our own tournaments and begin the 12th Battle for Earth tournament in January. Every BFE is different . Battle for Earth XII be introducing QWTA for the first time and using the 10 favorite custom maps picked by our members. What are you waiting for? The difference is clear, come join us here in TAW QW and see what keeps 150 fully-active members coming back for more!

Section 8 is a GO GO GO!

'09 TAW GATHERING

Hook — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:56:00 GMT

The 2^nd Annual TAW Gathering at QuakeCon has now come and gone but not without creating some lifelong memories for those that made the trip to participate. We had a great turnout this year with 22 TAW members in attendance. The event didn't go off without a snag or two but all worries were quickly pushed aside as the event began picking up steam. There was record attendance at this years QuakeCon, over 7000 gamers total, yet TAW had the largest representation of any clan there.

Standing L-R MyBadLuck, CharlieHustle, Rabidferret, Rinehardt, Geppy, Hook, Todbot, Feanor, Rinnosuke, ShmeeCow and SpaceJunky

Kneeling L-R Trakana, Arcangel, Tarable, SuperTreky, Shadowmage and ArmChairWarrior

The QuakeCon exhibits gave TAW members the opportunity to win prizes such as hardware, software and apparel from the QuakeCon sponsors. TAW members were also among the first to get a chance to play the still in production Global Agenda and were given special invite to partake in the closed beta. Some of the biggest highlights of this years QuakeCon had to be the sneak peaks at ID Softwares Rage and Splash Damages Brink. Both games looked awesome and left all that attended the main stage events for them wanting more.

Global Agenda booth set up inside the exhibit area for attendees to participate in an exclusive 8v8 match.

Set up in the BYOC section TAW members enjoyed getting to know each other and getting a chance to game side by side with their friends. TAW hosted a ETQW 4v4 BYOC tourney this year. Six teams total participated and prizes were given out to the winning team provided by the BYOC tourney sponsors.

There is much more that could be shared here but what I want to do is let those that attended tell you for themselves just how much fun they had. Everyone in TAW is invited to next years Gathering and you now officially have 1 year to save and plan for the trip. Here is a list of those that attended and some of the pictures we have from the this years TAW Gathering!!

CC - Hook and Rinehardt QW - CharlieHustle, RabbidFerret , Geppy, Todbot, Feanor, Rinnosuke, ShmeeCow, SpaceJunky, MortalDoomX, Focks, Wizard, Wiemauler and MyBadLuck WW - Cornoss, Tarable and SuperTreky TF - Trakana, Arcangle and ShadowMage CD - ArmChairWarrior

BYOC Fun!!

AION

Luke — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:13:00 GMT

Story

In the beginning there was a god named Aion who ruled over a world called Atreia. Aion created the Draken, a powerful race sent to protect the humans of Atreia. After some time passed the Draken disobeyed Aion's wishes and rebelled against their creator. The god Aion then created the 12 Empyrean Lords. The Empyrean Lords in turn created a barrier which prevented the Draken (now calling themselves Balaur) from attacking the humans charged under their protection. Within this barrier all things were safe. The Balaur ravaged and destroyed many of the living things residing outside of the barrier.

Some humans, living within the safety of the barrier, learned how to harness some of the same energy as the Empyrean Lords, known as aether. Such humans were called Daeva and, like the Empyrean Lords, had wings. With time, enough Daevas were born to form an army. Ten of the Empyrean Lords led these Daevas into battle against the Balaur, while the remaining two were the guardians of the Tower of Eternity, the embodiment of the god Aion. The war with the Balaur lasted for hundreds of years until one of the guardians of the tower announced that they should find a way to make peace with the Balaur. Five of the Empyrean Lords vehemently disagreed. However, the second guardian of the tower was swayed to peace. The Balaur were invited into the tower for peace talks. It is unclear what happened at that point. One of the Balaur lords lay wounded on the floor and the rest proceeded to attack the tower. The two Guardians attempted to raise the shield by going to opposite ends of the tower. However, they were unsuccessful and the tower, along with the world, shattered in two. As their final act, the two guardians sacrificed their lives in order to protect a part of Atreia. With Atreia severed, the survivors banded together to face their new world. Of the original twelve, ten of the Empyrean Lords survived. Five who had opposed peace and claimed that the weakness of the rest of the lords had allowed the Balaur to attack them reigned over the dark part of the world, becoming known as the Shedim Lords. The other five reigned over the light-covered bottom part of Atreia and claim that it was the Shedim Lord's actions that caused the breaking of the tower. They are known as the Seraphim Lords.

The new shape of the world also reshaped its inhabitants. Those that lived in the light part of the world saw little change except for an increase in their beauty. These followers of the Seraphim Lords called themselves Elyos and created the city of Sanctum. The inhabitants of the upper part of the world saw many changes. Having to walk on ground strewn with fragments of the tower, their feet became talons. Having to fight against beasts, their hands became claw-like. Furthermore, the darkness made their complexion change and their eyes grew red adapting to the absence of light. They call themselves Asmodians and live in the city of Pandemonium under the rule of the Shedim Lords.

Classes

When you create your character you are given the option of four primary classes. At level ten, however, you are given the option to choose a subclass. Each of the four primary classes has two subclasses. Also each of the two playable factions will have slightly different skills for each of the classes.
1. Warrior – Close combat
* Gladiator – Specialize in DPS
* Templar – Specialize in Tanking
2. Scout – Swift and agile
* Ranger – Ranged DPS and Traps
* Assassin – Stealth DPS
3. Mage – Poor physical combat, Powerful magic attacks
* Sorcerer – Long range damage spells
* Spiritmaster – Pet Summoner with ranged DPS
4. Priest – Healing and self-protection
* Chanter – Primary buffs, some healing and damage spells.
* Cleric – Primary healing, able to raise dead.

Professions

There are six crafting professions and two gathering professions. Players automatically learn the two gathering professions. They must pay trainers to learn the crafting professions. You are able to learn all of the crafting professions up to 399, but only are allowed to train one up to the max of 450.
Professions Include:
* Weaponsmithing
* Armorsmithing
* Sewing
* Handiwork
* Alchemy
* Cooking
Aion has a unique way of crafting, instead of creating a bunch of useless items that no one wants to increase your skill you can take on “work orders” in which some of the materials are supplied to you and you learn a temporary item to craft. After completing the work order, you turn in the quest for a reward, which is usually a scroll to learn how to create new items or rewarded with a small amount of common materials.

Combat

The combat system is similar to most MMO’s in that you have a bar of skills and you press the button to initiate that skill. Some skills require certain conditions such as having a certain weapon in hand or can only be used as a counter-attack.
The most unique thing about combat in Aion is that you have the ability to fly! You can fly and perform aerial attacks against opponents. You however must be careful as you have a limited amount of flight time and you do take falling damage from falling from significant heights.

PvP System

End game for Aion is known as PvPvE content. End game mostly focuses around battles in the Abyss. Players fight for control of castles. Once a legion is in control of a castle, they are entitled to funding from taxes and players within the faction and get special deals from NPC’s. The game currently does not allow legions to fight against their own race.

Most of my information used for this write up comes from Wikipedia.

The rest comes from my experiences from the beta play.

My Thoughts

       I think that this game is going to be a hit. There are already five servers in the beta and they are constantly being filled up. The collector edition boxes are sold out but they are still selling digital downloads.
   Although the graphics are extremely beautiful the system requirements are very low. In Age of Conan I get about 60-70 fps and in Aion I get about 150-175 on the high settings. I would almost compare the requirements to that of Guild Wars.
   I have not been able to participate in PvP as I need more TAW players to run with to feel comfortable about entering. It sounds like it will be a lot like Age of Conan but the rewards will be a lot higher and holding on to a castle will be challenging.
   I know that every game says this when it comes out, but I think it may actually challenge World of Warcraft. They have already taken a lot of the features from World of Warcraft including the way the broker(auctioneer) works and being able to set up private stores. Their main selling point is having much more adult looking graphics and still being able to have a wide audience as their system requirements are still extremely low. Their maps are similar to World of Warcraft as you have to only load new maps when you switch continents.
I look forward to seeing TAW hopefully pick up this game, and seeing it prosper as one of the most active divisions.

Quake Wars | Battle For Earth IX

Hook — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Quake Wars is the largest division in TAW with 140 members across two Battalions, North American and European. We meet on Sundays and Tuesdays for our main event, Battle For Earth. For those who don't know, Battle For Earth represents the ultimate potential of the Enemy Territory Quake Wars game. We break down into 16 man teams called platoons. Each platoon has a Platoon Leader, Squad Leader and a Fire Team Leader. People are permanently assigned to a platoon for a whole Battle for Earth season, which can last 1-2 months.

Over the course of this season, the different platoons fight each other for supremacy in a very organized and coordinated way. Everyone knows what maps will be played far in advance and what side they will play on, so there is maximum opportunity for planning and strategy. Platoon members will create elaborate tactics and strategies and send them out to each other via email, have practice sessions on the maps, and even use G-Tactix sessions and screenshots to plan their attacks and defenses. ( http://gtactix.com/ )

Enemy Territory Quake Wars was created for massive, organized teams. Everything about the game is centered on teamwork and coordination. Often in the public ranked servers there is not much cooperation or teamwork to be had, and many parts of the game go unused and untouched. Things like the context menu, mission drop-down selection menu, fire-teams, in-game VOIP, fire-team waypoints and other teamwork tools the game provides that are ignored on the public servers are all things we use regularly in TAW Quake Wars. Among first person shooters, Quake Wars is the perfect balance of teamwork and tactics while still providing a lot of fast paced shooting action. Battle for Earth takes this to the next level by turning the game into a truly well-planned war where your enemy is already trying to out-think you. Imagine chess but with modern military pieces instead of kings, knights and pawns. Quake Wars is not your average F.irst P.erson S.hooter game, it is a tactical FPS.

We take great pride in our field leadership in TAW Quake Wars. Our Tactical Warfare Specialist chooses the best and brightest people to become Platoon Leaders, Squad Leaders and Fire Team Leaders. These people can remain calm under fire and coordinate a fire-team or even a whole platoon and make strategy on the fly if the circumstances on the ground change. A good field leader understands how to use all of the classes, vehicles and deployables that the game offers and also understands the soldiers underneath them enough to know who would be best in each role. Being a field leader in Battle For Earth is great fun and being a Platoon Leader is the height of that. To plan out an effective strategy and watch your strategy come to life out on the battlefield is incredibly rewarding.

Field Leadership is only half of the equation. To make sure our members know the game well enough to be of service to their team, we have a Drill Instructor Staff. It is the job of the Head Drill Instructor and his DI staff to train our members in the finer points of shooting, vehicle use, movement, deployables, and other aspects of the game so they can play at their full potential. Every Thursday there is an optional training session for members who can make it. The Head Drill Instructor watches carefully during Battle for Earth matches to see what kind of training our members need.

New content is always the life-blood of any game. In TAW Quake Wars we recognize that people have become bored with the original 12 maps so we use custom maps frequently. In fact, our next Battle for Earth season is going to be mostly made up of custom maps. We have an awesome Field Systems Technician who has ingeniously configured our servers so that all necessary files that someone will need to play can be automatically downloaded in-game merely by connecting to the server.

The line-up for our next Battle for Earth is:

North Pole Campaign:
Sabotage
Arctic Assault
Maridia

Central Europe Campaign:
Estate
Night Raid (after the war3_b4)
Free Spirit City

South America Campaign:
Meltdown
Tower
Retake of the Andes

Asian Campaign:
Radar
Commlink
Canal

GDF Campaign:
Canyon
Outskirts
Slipgate

Strogg Campaign:
Ark
Island
Area 22

If our approach to this game appeals to you, please come and join us. We are always open to new players regardless of skill level and if working together with a team sounds good to you then you would love what we do here. Come and join us in the TAW Quake Wars Division and become a part of the Battle for Earth!

Crysis Wars

Icarus — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:42:00 GMT

A new start!

When Crysis was announced, there where some big expectations! In no time at all the Crysis Division was the biggest one in TAW with over 100 members. But even as quick Crysis became the smallest. What happend? How did it happen? I guess it was because the lack of support from Crytek, with many cheaters and so many laggy servers. This almost killed the game. Even in TAW we had our own "crysis": should we go on or not? 4th Battalion pulled the plug out, But 1st and 3th Battalion chose to go on.

But then we were tested again. Because there was many dropouts and transfers, 1st battalion had no reason to go on. 1st Battalion participated in different Clanbase competitions and with good results. On the 6v6 leaderboard there were some weeks that we were second with also 3 wins in a row. Our own Mike came 3rd best player in Europe it the 1v1 tournament. In the 5v5 Spring Cup, TAW was beaten in the quarter finals. But with only six members left, we had no solid base to go on. So again the question: "should we go on". Happily for us, very quick after this, Crysis Wars came out and we also got some new recruits. With all this together there was a reason again to go on. And also good for us that the command staff saw it the same way!

A new start, again! So here I am writing in front of a new start with a new improved game and some members who can hardly wait to start playing in competitions against other clans. At the moment we are waiting for a new server. But that won't be a problem with all the support we get from TAW at the moment.

Crysis Wars is a very cheap game if you compare it to other games. So I would like to say: "buy it and try it." You are always welcome in our TS and have a game with us.

CPT NcPeru

Battlefield Division is going for Reality

JRSUNSHINE — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 01:14:00 GMT

Hello,

For over 3 years The Art of Warfare has provided Battlefield 2 with great succes. We became for a long periode the biggest and finest division of TAW. The Battlefield Division has been swallowed by time and is looking for a new challenge. I am proud to announce that we have found that new game within the Battlefield Series.

The Battlefield Division is going to support a Battlefield 2 mod Project Reality [PR].

The Battlefield Division has a long history with TAW. Its been one of the longest running Divisions in TAW we have supported 6 Battlefield Serie games over the last 6 years. The Battlefield Division started on 24th of July 2002 under the command of Lowflyer. Over those 6 years we have supported:

Battlefield 1942
Battlefield Vietnam
Battlefield 1942 :: Desert Combat
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
and now Battlefield 2 :: Project Reality

The Battlefield Division is also a division where leaders were born, who now still make the community the best place to be. Therefore i am a proud member of The Art of Warfare and a very proud member of the Battlefield Division to make this happen and to be the one telling you about this with the help of all Battlefield members we are going to make our division grow strong again. As the game says only with teamwork you will be victorious and that what we are going to do.

The Game

Project Reality has won second place two years running in ModDB.com annual Mod of the Year competition. The competition is the definitive event that showcases the best mods and indie games in the world and recognises the teams behind them.The game aims are to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. The game is even a bigger must for gaming communities like TAW, teamwork and tactics go hand by hand in PR. The lonegunner has no place in this game anymore. Every item of reality that you can think of is inside this game. So if you go into the forrest with a gun today, thats what you get in PR nothing more nothing less:

No more minimap
No more hit indicator
no more spawning at newly captured flags
no more spawning on squad leader
no more i can be anything i want to be in PR, limited numbers of kits avaible
no more fast respawning, vehicle down you can wait and wait untill you get sick.
And so on..........

Yes this is the real deal so if you are the real deal you get a copy of Battlefield 2 in the shop, download Project Reality here read the manual and get together with us, no one should try to play this game on its own. Join one of our trainings and you will understand what teamwork really means.

This Sunday we will be having the start meeting, where you can ask anything. We will be telling you what route we will be taking to transform the division into the Project Reality Division. What our goals are going to be, leagues we will be entering. What the training days will be for now. And any other issue that needs to be talked about. Comms are open for everybody.

Day: Sunday 31th of August
Time: 20:00 CET [11:00 PST, 14:00 EST]
Location: Teamspeak "Start meeting PR"

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Respectfully,

Colonel TBone

Age of Conan in TAW!

Icarus — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:15:00 GMT

Age of Conan has slashed it way to TAW!!! This game has already found a strong following since its pre-boarding release. Taken from the popular Robert E. Howard books and movies, it puts you right smack dab into the ruthless world he created. With its intense PvP aspect and beautiful graphics it brings you directly into the action.

If you want to read up on what AoC has to offer you can find more info at the Age of Conan site at http://www.ageofconan.com. This game is a MA rated game so it is not for the faint of heart, nor for the young.

We have added Age of Conan into Vanguard to take full advantage of the vanguard way of spinning up a guild, which is to intentionally create a leadership vacuum to hopefully stir the pot and discover new TAW leaders who are willing to step up to the plate and form this guild from its early stages. So don’t be scared to speak up and take initiative!!! If you feel you have what it takes then come on down to AoC and show us what you got.

Applications for AoC are currently being taken through Vanguard (VG), so click on the vanguard banner when you apply! Also, please message a guild member in game for the Teamspeak info. See you in game (Stormrage - PVP)!
