id Software and Activision have released the free download of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the standalone game that does not require the original Return to Castle Wolfenstein and adds radically new gameplay, where the player plays as one of five classes, gaining skills and promotions, constructing strategic assets, and battling with weapons ranging from tank-mounted machineguns to mortars.

"Each battlefield is a unique environment, with terrain ranging from dense foliage to open deserts, and weather conditions like snow and rain. Every distinctive mission requires a different strategy for victory; so while character advancement through battlefield promotions personalizes your appearance and skills, the fire-team communication, dynamic map overlay, and commander's voice facilitate teamwork in constructing defenses, scouting, infiltration and assault."
Developed by Splash Damage and featuring multiplayer support for up to 32 players, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is the ultimate test of communication and teamwork on the battlefield, where everyone joins the fray as one of five distinct (Covert Ops, Field Ops, Medic, Engineer, Soldier) character classes each with unique combat abilities. Each Axis or Allies team can divide itself into smaller fire teams for quick and easy communication using an intuitive messaging system and dynamic command map of the entire battlefield.

Throughout a campaign, players gain experience 28 different categories which range from higher ammunition capacity and faster power-bar recharge times, to the ability to see land mines, revive fallen teammates at full health or use a machinegun instead of a pistol as your secondary weapon.
"With the free, online release of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, gamers can instantly jump into the action and experience the fun of team-based, tactical combat through exciting campaigns in Western Europe and the deserts of Egypt," said Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "Splash Damage has created an incredibly unique Wolfenstein experience that fuses the intense action of first person team combat with exciting new strategy, communication and persistent role-playing elements."
Enemy Territory also introduces a team-based Last-Man-Standing game mode, where squad-mates cooperate to ensure their team has the last surviving man on the battlefield. There's also new terrain foliage system that allows players to hide or take a sniper position in the cover of long grass or snowy mountaintops.
