The team was introduced to Activision by Kevin Cloud and Robert Duffy of id Software in early 2002, and developed id Software’s Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory™ (Wolf ET) – winner of multiple ‘Game of the Year’ awards and a British Academy Award Nomination. The game was an all-new stand-alone chapter in the Wolfenstein series, introducing the totally new gameplay style of campaign based multiplayer first-person combat, with distinct military roles and character advancement. With over 13 million registered installations, Wolf ET remains consistently in the top three .. shooter games worldwide.

In the summer of 2003, shortly after the release of Wolf ET, and with a set of tough goals in mind, Kevin Cloud of id Software and Paul Wedgwood of Splash Damage (both owners of their respective companies) started working together on a new high concept, evolving Wolf ET’s gameplay into what would eventually become Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (ETQW).

Excited by the success and player following of Wolf ET, Activision signed up to fund the idea, and Splash Damage embarked on the first year’s collaboration with id Software for the game’s design, research and development phase, with Robert Duffy from id Software acting as Technical Director.

During this period, the teams at Splash Damage and id Software refined the full game design. Full production of the title began in the summer of 2004, with TV's Neil 'Relaxer' Postlethwaite taking the helm as Splash Damage's Managing Director and ETQW's Producer. The game is now approaching ‘Beta’, with id Software and Activision staff regularly flying to London to take part in a week-long LAN gaming sessions with the Splash Damage staff. Splash Damage’s team of 30 developers is now working feverishly towards beta - completing content, refining game play, optimising technology systems, and balance, balance, and yes, balance. ETQW achieved over 30 awards and nominations at E3 2006 for Game of Show, Best PC Game, Best Action Game, Best Multiplayer Game and Most Anticipated Game, from several magazines, websites and the official E3 Game Critics Awards judges panel.

Splash Damage is also proud to have contributed multiplayer maps to the commercial releases of id Software’s Return to Castle Wolfenstein®: Game of the Year Edition, and DOOM 3®.

Splash Damage remains an independent studio, wholly owned by Paul 'Locki' Wedgwood.
