Enemy Territory could be the next QuakeLive

After a successful QuakeLive Beta, id Software’s Todd Hollenshead thinks that the company might go further and make Enemy Territory the next web browser game.

During the Game developers conference 2009, the co-owner and CEO of id Software, Todd Hollenshead spoke about their recent success with QuakeLive beta where more than 110 000 accounts were created, their current work plan and the next possible game on QuakeLive's engine.

Todd Hollenshead's comments about the QuakeLive beta: "The participation in the open beta is 50 percent higher than what we expected. The beta was perhaps too successful, at least in the raw numbers, with a massive queue forming when the beta kicked off."

"I had my concerns. Are people going to show up?"

ID even made a special reward to the players who sat through the wait with a special achievement that shows an angry face with the words: Position in Queue 501337.

He also added that the next game they will work on, could be Wolfenstein Enemy Territory a game that has been one of gaming community's favourite esports games.
