Enemy Territory IS DEAD this sucks!

(DarkangelUK) #21

Too much crap required to get back into it, it’s not easily accessible for new players any more. I tried to get back in, I needed to download this update, then that mod, then this update for that mod, then an addon pack for a server, then I didn’t have the map, then the map I got had an update pak… then I thought ‘screw this’ and went to play something else.

Yeah, the game is saturated with servers with just too much custom crap, and that’s mainly what it is, crap, custom GUIs that mess your install up, custom textures packs that mess your install up, custom sounds that… you get the idea, I wish more server admins would clam down with this nonsense stick with a good mod with sensible server settings and a small range of quality custom maps if needed.

According to TB stats we had, daily between 1200-3500 (REAL) players. Not dead imo.

the possibility to customize ET is why i like it… love having my own logos and things… and download a 15mb file is nothing these days.

and work like Ultimate installer makes the installation easy just a way of letting players know that.

As for maps i have a map db with over 250 records so there loads of maps… not all that good like masterkillers alcatraz :smiley:

It’s not so much the download size for me its the fact it can seriously screw up your installation when servers admins decide they want to modify the whole GUI of the game plastered with their clan logo and other random stuff, make custom textures for mine flags so they look like flowers or something silly, add crap load of custom vsays sometimes replacing stock ones, all of which you only know about till after you’ve connected and downloaded the content as there are no server filters in place for such things.

Then you get servers with panzer party mode or something equally ridiculous and again you have no way of telling until you have connected and sometimes it can be a vote setting so you think you finally found good server then BAM someone votes panzer party and then well yeah I /disconnect.

So you try connecting to another server but the stuff you downloaded from the previous one conflicts with the stuff on this server and ET gets angry and wont let you connect. At this point I go play another game.

I think I’ll check out Nail’s server one of these days though, good honest ETness, ET.com server was my first fave servers :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=macbeth;250337]objective noobing ??? u mean servers having custom maps and running nq, etpub ,jaymod ?
about OS clans have their own sites and help their members and regulars to have ET running fine with all the OS[/QUOTE]

you know what i mean when i say objective noobing and heavy weapon noobing. i dont really see the point in finshing the objectives in a map (particularly in goldrush) and i understand the objectives are there to “spice things up a little” there is no harm in that. what i am talking about is those people who finish the game in 5 mins! (stock map or not) i had done it once and its boring. in all the servers i have connected to there is that person, either good at it or bad and affects how they can become pro. thats all i am saying.

quick question: what will you see at the game end if in goldendunk_a2 the score is tied?

(.Chris.) #27

Completing the map is a noob thing now?

The whole objective gameplay mechanic is there to differentiate ET from other titles that contain the likes of DM and TDM modes, not just to “spice things up a little”, if you want to purely just frag then join a no objective server, they are a few around.

Well, isnt that a defending issue?
If you let a covert ops and a engineer pass you by in Fueldump before the gate is blown, the defending was bad. And Goldrush in 5 minutes surely suck but it most likely wont happen if you got 2 nice engineers with a bit brain :slight_smile: (My first job is to fix the barriers and pray someone will do arty on the tank way :))…oh and place a lot of mines in front of the tank.

(hentzzz) #29

Make Wolfentstein: Enemy Territory HD please. God i miss this game so bad :frowning:

(edxot) #30

you got really lucky.

i made it to the part where you get killed over and over again with mortar. then it was the arty … and finally, the typical “leaner/rifle grenade camper”.

(Mateos) #31

Bumping ol’ threads FTW \o/

There’s no point in making ET HD, there’s ET already, ETXReaL stopped, OpenWolf is on the way.

Few teamplay servers still exist. Not popular ones most part of time :confused:

I think we should just wait for more info about SD’s secret project.

(Patriotqube) #33

edited hmm hmm just noticed how old OP’s post was

(tokamak) #34

W:ET isn’t Splash Damage’s property. This means there’s only two ways for W:ET to return in a more playable format (like Quake Live or something). Either Zenimax hires them to do it, which is not something SD would accept because they want to be their own publisher. OR SD buys the rights to W:ET and makes it their own game. That’s a costly affair and it would be really difficult to make that profitable.

So either way we’re looking at an impasse which means that it’s very unlikely that we’re ever going to see W:ET served on a platform it deserves.

Why did you open this topic, and why are you here in this forum if you think Enemy Territory is dead? You are writing here too. :slight_smile:
What about do you speak? :smiley:

Enemy Territory is the most dynamically developed game, because there are a lot of people who develop it. Until this people develop the game, the game never will dead. There are a lot of new sites.

Splatterladder have a lot of new functions and statistics, there are a lot of new clans although there are clan what are totally dead.

You should respect those people who develop this game. (schnoog,Feuersturm,Nitrox, etc…)

But there are a lot of new teams and sites too.

although the game is 9 years old now, for 2 years ago I begin to build the Hungarian Enemy Territory Community, because I am disposed to believe that Enemy Territory will the beast game for ages… :slight_smile:

(Dragonji) #37

It’s just a name. The game don’t have to be called W:ET2 or something :slight_smile:

Everything is possible, just take a look at Crytek which is developing the same game for years but just under a new brand :slight_smile:

(tokamak) #38

It´s not just the name it’s everything. To avoid lawsuits they would need to make an entirely different game and while they’re at it they might as well make it a completely new project. Could be Nazis and Allies again, sure but it would be a modern game with not a shred of W:ET left.

That’s why W:ET won’t be happening, that’s why SD is working on their own IP right now with all the mechanics that the current gamers are used to.

i understand what you mean because i already felt the same in the past.

but after you try etqw, and learn to use vehicles. et is dead for ever.

not to mention the anti-lag system, most hated thing, but unjustified imo. allows people to play etqw with 200 ping better than you would play et with just 100.
