Gangs4Life (G4L) is a total conversion mod for Splash Damage's Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, which uses the Doom 3 Engine. G4L immerses the player in an intense online never seen fun experience. Set on the 1950’s ( though it is totally fictional ) , Gangs4Life simulates a war between two special gangs that encourages the use of teamwork and strategy to destroy the enemy.
Gangs4Life is a fictional total conversion mod which is based upon the 1950’s – 60’s era. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States played out through the entire decade. Due to the conservative norms of the era and the sometimes violent suppression of social movements, seeds of rebellion grew and more gangs arised. Europe continued to be divided into free and Soviet bloc countries. The geographical point of this division came to be called the Iron Curtain. The bandas and the mafia saw a good opportunity of this split between East and West-Europe so they started a revolution.
The bandas is a gang who doesn’t have any traditions, they are not against drugs, the mafia does and that’s why they also dislike the bandas. The Mafia doesn’t want that their traditions disappear, that’s why they also start an American mafia to expand the gang.They will start a war in America but later on they move on to destroy the Sicilian Mafia. You will be able to choose between these gangs, good work and teamwork will decide who will win.

This project is currently on hold because there is not enough people to finish it. ( actually it is me alone that works on this project and I can't complete it without any help of others ) So, if you are still interested to keep this mod alive and become true then post an application immediately. You still can see that we're looking for 3d modellers, animators, sound creators ( not music but gunsounds etc ... ) texture artists and so on ... As proof that I still did something to keep this mod alive soon some great news of hmm * you can guess * :P :D
To remind you about something, I'm also making a map for ET:QW which is called Wake Island, formerly known of BF1942 / BF2 and it some reworked version. ( Only terrain is actually the same ) The story goes like this:
Here a video about the WIP map:

Looking Good.Keep up the good work!
Ya, I thought so, good ol' gang violence! I can't wait for the SDK myself.
Forums are temporary down for updating!
Yes that's right, we already did a long time ago. ;)
Also, wasn't this mod for HL2? Switched engines I see (lol if I'm right).
Hope you guys are progressing nicely. SDK soon! YES! Good luck I love games and well anything about the Mafia!
looks very funny:D :p
keep it alive
They said it should be around Winter 2007 and there would come an open beta around the summer. ;)
Is there even a set realease for ET:QW??
Well, I've been playing W:ET for a long time now, and I am sure this game is going to be a lot like ET:QW.
I've also searched for a lot of info on splashdamage forums and seen how ET:QW will look like.
I'm pretty sure some mod like this can be done!;)
