Wheels of War
With Wheels of War, we want to bring back the awesome feeling when playing Carmageddon all those years ago - the initial racing, the wasting of other cars, collecting power-ups, insane stunts and running over zombies. There will be powerups/powerdowns, a credits system, upgradable cars (via armour, offensive, and engine characteristics), checkpoint style racing (i.e, ability to roam), destructable cars, and a stunts system. Note that this is not a port/clone or rip of Carmageddon. We are taking it's single player concept, evolving it to multiplayer, and creating a whole new environment for it to exist in.
A game design document has been released to the public on the website focusing on our Free For All Campaign game mode here.
We have many other modes planned, but our first alpha release will focus on this one.

EARTH, 24 June 2008: The Carnage Council is proud to announce the public release of Wheels of War Alpha 0.2!
Hey Guys, great news - version 0.2 has been released! It features a small amount of bug fixes, three new vehicles, a whole new 'Championship Racing' game mode, 5 racetracks for that racing mode (which include the 3 for DM Campaign matches), and web-based stats in the form of a global best-lap leaderboard.
It became apparent the zombies, in-game upgrades and stunt systems were going to take a while to develop. Web-based stats were always on the cards for a later inclusion, so this new race mode lets us examine how that works whilst giving you another reason to play Wheels of War. We think it ties in nicely, hopefully you will agree!
To get on the global leaderboard at Wheelsofwar.colsoft.biz, you need to play on a RANKED RACE server, and complete a lap within the time limit. Every players best lap during that race is recorded and put up for all to see. It's that simple! The stats website is going to be continually developed over the next few weeks as more ways of conveying the information are realised - if you have any suggestions, post on our forums.
Server admins wanting more information about how to make their servers ranked can come to our IRC channel (#wheelsofwar on irc.quakenet.org) or post in our general forum on our official website at Wheelsofwar.co.uk.
We are always on the look out for download mirrors and server partners. If you are willing to host a Wheels of War server, be it Deathmatch or Racing, get in touch and we can discuss how to get Ranked status or even get in some sponsored advertising on the stats page if you help us get the word out :)
Thank you, and have a good time racing!

THE CARNAGE COUNCIL HAS VALIDATED THIS PRESS RELEASE AS CATEGORY 2.4 OF THE CARNAGE CODE.
Here it is! Alpha 0.2 for linux and windows. Unzip into your ETQW directory; there is a 'Run Wheels of War' sample shortcut which shows what arguments...
This is a patch from 0.1a to 0.1b. It allows for windows and linux clients/servers to all interact happily. This should be downloaded and installed by...
This version is a very early alpha release. We expect that you will find bugs, and you may feel that the gameplay is not up to the quality of which you...
Some footage from a test game we had a week ago. I'm no editing expert so sorry if the movie doesn't look/sound that great. If you'd like to help us in...
Sorry guys. Development has pretty much stopped.
Personally for me, i'm looking to see what Rage has to offer in terms of modding capability to see if we can revive the effort we put into this. But just now, development for ETQW has ceased.
Is this mod still alive? Please say yes.
soon an update on this?
Nice mod,ill take one
I loved Carmageddon!!!! I use to play that game for HOURS 10 years ago!
this mod is fun as hell, i cant wait until its getting zombies in the game to drive over :P and 1 map i would like to ahve only because it should seem cool is a sand map, completley a desert :P i drove outside the map of one ET:QW map and found like a desert where i just drived, so damn fun while the others was doing the race :P
Thanks for the awesome compliment, we're trying hard to get everything we want in, but dont want to leave it long between releases, hence 0.2!
going to play some now, i love the cars :P espacially Optimus Skulls and some other i just forgot the name of xD
Optimus skulls does look mean. Theres a bug on the slipgate map which means he gets stuck in the terrain when teleported to antarctica, so best not to use it on that map! Supposedly if you reverse through the slipgate it works, though :D
ok xD thx for the tip :P this the best realesed mod for Quake wars now :D
