Well this is it, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars finally has an official release date. The date itself makes my wallet cry foul play and myself very sad. Why? Well shit, it is the month of October. Team Fortress 2 (Actually the HL2: Episode 2 Orange Box) is being released in October as well as a bunch of other things I want to buy.

It has been officially set for October 2nd in North America where as the European people get it September 28th. The press release is hidden inside.
