Quake Live’s fate is still clouded. But, if one would care for a wager, one would bet in favor of a happy end for the free-to-play browser game. Were that to happen, Carmack will start looking into fresh online meat for FPS fans and the first game he would lay his eyes upon would be Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

This is what the king of Shooterdom told PC Zone: “If [Quake Live] is successful, we've tossed around the idea of taking the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory game - which was actually always more popular than Q3A in the online space - and doing a similar treatment to it with the experience we've gained here."

Still, we’ll get no Wolfenstein Live until the marketingomancers over at id Software are sure that Quake Live is well received and likely to have a long and happy life. It is kind of logical for id to think about making Wolfenstein: ET into the next Quake Live, because there are some strong similarities between the two titles. First of all, they both belong to the multiplayer FPS genre and they already had great success as such – so the gameplay is fully verified and works. Second, they’re both offspring of a popular series: Quake and Quake 2 were great games in their time, and the first Wolfenstein was actually the first true FPS.

Why another online FPS? Because of the magic word known throughout the corporate world as Strategy: "So if you want to develop something on the PC right now, Carmack says, "it had better either be cross platform like what we're doing with Rage or it'd have to be something like Spore or The Sims 3, that really caters to the type of game that more people are playing on the PC."
