Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars (ETQW) is the latest game using the DOOM 3 engine, or as id Software rechristened it, the id Tech 4 engine. Although the normal map, stencil shadow heritage is still present many things have changed. Now that the game is in stores it's time to delve a little deeper into the new features on the improved DOOM 3 engine that powers QUAKE Wars and see how it compares to other current and upcoming engines.

Is MegaTexture all that?
