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.
Features of Interest (Note: All are not available yet, but will be implemented in due course):

CARNAGE COUNCIL ANNOUNCES NEW WHEELS OF WAR 0.2 ALPHA
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!
Installation Instructions: Simply unzip the downloaded file into your ETQW directory. It will create a /wheelsofwar folder and also a Run Wheels of War shortcut. The shortcut will show you what command-line arguments you need to run the mod. Specifically, they are:

"and hopefully mac"
Please look into that. :)
Hahah. I've been looking forward to this mod since I first spotted it. :D
Super Happy Cow wishes you all good luck. <3
QW is the perfect engine for this mod. Love the game, and can't wait for this mod :)
Damn this looks nice, but why did you pick ETQW for the engine? I traded in my copy of that game because it nobody plays it online >_<
I dont understand why you could not find anyone online, there was a bug about te server browser that was fixed with the current patch. Maybe you were experincing that.
Basically, ET:QW offered what we needed :
1) A solid codebase. id engines are well known and stand up against anyone.
2) Multiplayer/network suitability. This is a multiplayer only game, and seeing this is the same in ET:QW, knowing lots of time has been spent on network optimizations is a big plus.
3) Community: The ET:QW community is very large. Over a quarter of a million registered players.
4) Cross platform: we will be releasing for windows, linux, and hopefully mac!
5) Developer help: Splashdamage are a good bunch of guys, and have personally already helped in the development of Wheels of War by giving us pointers into some difficult implementation issues.
6) Appeal. IF we had developed for say crysis, all the developers would have needed high end systems, along with the players. ET:QW offers great visuals at half the cost. Also, it seems ET:QW sold a hella lot more copies than Crysis and UT3 if the figures publiched on next-gen.biz were anything to go by.
Basically: I did my research - ET:QW ticked all the boxes.
Quake Rally ;)
As i said in a previous post, This mod has huge potential.
I know that it's still in early stages of dev, but I hope it will be very stylish. with Duke Nukem-like voices.. and a crazy apocalyptic atmosphere =)
Wish you all the best, will keep an eye (maybe both of them) on this mod, and have a great new year, hoping that 2008 will bring lots of good things ;)
Thankyou for the support, have a great new year - we will try not to dissapoint you in the coming months :)
gets my vote .. LaVaGoD is on the dev team , so I know it's gonna be good.
HOLY ****.This is just ******* sexy.Too nice for a mod
