I was always a Console gamer, but my 5 Year old half Brother loved Computers and his dad downloaded a new game for him, called ET, as i looked i was like wtf was that, the first map he played was Battery, i was like, look at those Graphics, are those real people around the world ? when he started sleeping, I started playing and was hooked straight away.
I sold my PS2 and bought a cheap Pentium 3 and a little 15inch CRT Monitor, and played ET till this day.
My Reaction when i first played
My best moments were when I landed a difficult trickjump I had been working on for ages, or found a jump on the stock maps that no one had discovered before, those always brought me a great sense of accomplishment. I still remember managing to jump over the Axis wall on fueldump for the 1st time, I still have the original demo from feb 2004 
Having a very nice but hard teamplay game evening with teamspeak and all. Having lots of laugthers with your friends and TJ at the end to relax.
And ofcourse, my first Oasis first map ever, all alone, allied 
and i was wondering why i kept drowning and coulnd swim trough all the way
This game was one the causes of my divorce… :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
The Best Game of the all times!:infiltrator:
It was a summer evening, with lots of thoughts about winning, losing and proving to the others that he was supposed to be in the team.
Finally, after so many months of Jaymode, countless trees killed with the mp40 (remember what Raziel said) the noob will have a place in the first team of the clan…(fire+strafe right, fire+strafe left) as a reserve (oh well, at least he had the best seats to this match)
…it was 1-1, the las map to decide who will win this fight…After some net spikes and some lag and one lucky connection drop, S1 was out and noob entered to prove his worth… somewhere near the Main Entrance…
noob: What do i do?
S2: oh look! a grenade is bouncing from the wall, catch it noob, is like American football… catch it, be a man, be a…
S3: lol
S4: Nice catch noob! Touchdown! =D
Respawn!!!
2 minutes later near the Side Entrance.
noob: i need 5 more seconds and i plant this cursed charge. Is the third time we are doing this.
S2: Shhhh! I heard something hit the ground…
noob: what is it? you know i can’t look away from this dynamite.
S2: I think is an apple.
noob: (O_O) an apple? in W:ET? are you kidding me? Who made this map?
S2: Sorry, not an apple, definitely not an apple…
noob: What is it then? A lemon?
S2: … a nade!
noob: oh! for the love of Go…
Limbo time!
4 minutes and 30 seconds later
noob: Skipper, give me the rifle
Skipper: OK! S2 has the west radar part. The last one. I think we can win this. Man up noob! GO and cover him!
Noob ran, noob was the wind… he rushed from the forward bunker, ready, able…
S2: Halp! I have the obj. Halp!
No mind, no thought (point and shoot…point and shoot)… the nade plunged from the rifle and hit the ground…
S3: Great shoot noob! GREAT SHOOT!!!
S4: omg! OMG!
Skipper: You just killed S2 noob…i fk hate this team!
noob: Skipper i think you gave me a broken rifle (;_
Skipper:…
S2: So… i was near the truck and then…Kaboom… what happen?
noob: we won?
Skiper: /quit
Once I played pacifistically and healed everybody, friends and foes. The best moment was when I followed an enemy who didn’t realize that I was healing him for about one minute. When he turned around I always managed to stay behind him. I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants.
Man I have a rather lame submission, I admittedly was never an W:ET gamer, yet I did have a few weekends at it back in the day. Sorry, but at the time CoD was weaning me off Q3 and RTCW. Memories though…
Well let me start with the setting, WWII, I’m not sure why everyone got so tired of it and wanted some imaginary terrorist for a protagonist. WWII, for me at least, has and will always be a period that has actual relevance, a defining war machine faced off by tireless armies. Weapons basic and magnificent in their power and versatility. Locations spanning the entire planet. It had everything and RtCW and W:ET were the multiplayer peak to the MoH and COD single player experience.
My experiences. Perhaps overlooked but the helmet pop (careful now!) was just so satisfying. You talk of new games with their attention grabbing guitar riffs and rank up text. I don’t think they come close to the satisfaction of a bullet ping and a shaved pate being exposed as the helmet flew off. It was like your own little magician’s trick pulling bag the egg cosy to reveal a nice egg for you to finish off. 
Pace of the game and movement. Again, it steals a little from both RtCW and W:ET but the damn game never slowed down, except for brief seconds while spawning or hammering through a limbo menu. I don’t think it can be overstated (and it’s been close in these forums) about the importance of allowing freedom in the movement for players to explore and exploit. Relentless, hard and even frustrating are not always negative terms when they’re the result of you needing to improve rather than being up against a arbitrary development wall.
And lets not forget the multi-objective gameplay. I’ll bow out to my inexperience here to give specific examples but I can say with entire honestly that RtCW and W:ET both made ETQW an instant buy.
Now I’ll go shut up, bind my fingers crossed and throw away my worthless winning euromillions lottery ticket so that I can win this instead*.
*May be a lie but if I did win 90 million I’d happily pay SD to make another game just like W:ET and RtCW.
When I sniped someone when I pushed my nose on the right mouse button. And when I used to be a really big noob I was very happy when I knifed the real mAus, on *u|k public server, after he killed two other people with a k43.

It’s in catalan, thanks Google Translate for your existence;
Hmm… favorite moment? That’s a tough one… had so much fun with this game!
Maybe this one: fueldump, enemies have planted at the fuel dump… got 'em killed… seeing our only engineer down in the snow, yelling for a medic… I jump down from the rooftop of the house… realizing that I have only 5HP left… getting out my syringe in mid-air… reviving that poor engineer just a tenth of a second before I cratered beneath him… he defuses right in time and we win… yay!
My favorite wolfenstein et memory/moment/event playing at whosgaming with 32 vs 32 at am hydro dam. Lots of players, balanced teams, nobody had an advantage. Match lasted for several hours. So much fun, Good memories.
My time playing Wolfenstein: ET decided my career path and allowed me to get into college at an incredible university. ET literally changed my life and helped me to do what I love. Let me explain.
Wolfenstein: ET was the very first game I played once I had high speed internet. Before that I would stay up until the late hours of the night and play somewhat ineffectually on dial-up. Even though the latency was a very real problem, it never stopped me from having a great time. When I was able to play on even-footing with other players though, was when I really started to enjoy the game.
After over a year of playing on unpatched public servers and eventually making it to top 3 on Splatterladder, I made the switch to 2.60b and started playing competitively. Through this simple, free-to download game I met some incredible people and had some of the best times of my life. Captaining a team, I would excitedly log on every day and play matches, discuss strategies, and more than anything else just hang out with friends. Sure I had friends in my non-computer life, but the thing that made those in this game unique was the singular passion that they had for this game. We were all, quite literally, in love with it. Throughout those years I must have played hundreds of matches and scrims, thousands of maps on public servers. I watched new games come out, including the likes of Quake Wars and RTCW2, but there was still something about ET that kept me coming back. I played for top American teams, eventually playing for Team USA in the nationscup. I released multiple Frag Videos that I shared with thousands of people.
It was at this point that I realized that I wanted to make gaming more than just a hobby of mine. If a game like ET could touch me and so many others in this way, give years of enjoyment and fun to thousands of gamers all over the world, create long and lasting friendships, and inspire astounding love and devotion from fans, then why shouldn’t I try and do the same with the things that I create?
On a whim, I applied to the top game design program in the country and most likely the world. Because of how selective the program is I held little hope of getting in. But still I tried. The application required that I write about why I wanted to be in the program, so of course I talked about my time in competitive gaming in ET and how I wanted to create games like that for others to enjoy and love as much as I did.
When it came time to submit my select portfolio piece, the single piece of media that I had created which would be looked at by the school, I sent in my second Wolfenstein: ET Fragvid. A single video which, in my mind, explained the beauty of gaming and everything I loved about it. Then I sent the application in.
Two years later, I’m halfway done with my undergraduate degree in game design at an incredible school with incredible people. And when I look back on how I managed to get here, I realize that I literally could not have done it without this game. The game that I spent more time on than any other game in my life.
I know you asked for a specific moment in ET, and sure I could tell stories about my first ace, an incredible document run, a last minute defuse in tournament finals, a 1v3 at the transmitter to win the game, but ET is so much more than that to me. It’s the incredible experience of the game as a whole and the incredible things it’s inspired me to achieve in life. So thanks Wolfenstein: ET and thanks Splash Damage. Couldn’t have done it without you.
I have many experiences with this game, I must have logged thousands of hours in this. I remember playing on the same server constantly, and getting to know the other regulars. Custom maps were great, finding the random easter eggs in them. Especially some of the more silly one. One custom map was a remake of the bank one, with secret passages, smoke emitters, and a bounce house.
Its such a great game, a few years ago I played it for a very long time. There are so many good moments I remember. Too many to count. I really enjoyed playing a recreation of the DDay map.
Thanks for this great peace of software!
My greatest moment in ET was short after the release.
The German Gaming Show GIGA presented ET live in her Show and I was one of the lucky guys who became a place on her server. I was player and killig live in the tv
My name was only showed up a few times and in this time there was no HD Video so nobody could read it on TV. But I was so proud on me.
Later I played ET every evening with my dad, but that is another story.
My most memorable match ever was about 7 years ago. I was teaching my son how to play ET with me. He could not grasp the concept of Axis kill Allies, and he kept teamkilling people. I kept telling him “just look at the uniforms”!
He got banned from my favorite server, and so did I because we were both sharing the same IP address.
So no problem, we logged on another server…we got banned there also. We got banned from a total of 5 servers that day, something he still brings up for a laugh.
[QUOTE=sMiRZz;400850]My best moment was when i was playing clanbase eurocup qualifier for the first time versus one of the favorite team overload including the best player of the game mAus and on the map aldernest i took the objective in middle of 3 guys shooting i got propelled on the window with 10hp jumped down and ran with with 4 guys chassing me my heart was nearly gonna explode but i managed to transmit that **** into radio
RTCW+W:ET actually stole 8 years of my life 
you can watch it here
http://www.gamestv.org/event/17564-overload-vs-dream/
add the email inside if i win euromillion i will contact them for W:ET2[/QUOTE]
I discovered this game when i was chilling on a website presenting all the new video games demos and i was just installing everything was the beginning of my hardcore gamer career, miraculously i found RTCW and played hard everyday then i moved on WET and played even much more tryying to reach this addictive **** !!! :DDDDDDDDDDDD
So, it was a round which win’s the match, playing goldrush, took the gold and carrying it and im close to truck when 1st guy attacked me, killed him, and then right after another guy arrived started shooting me, and just when i thought im dead his connecton died hahaahah, so i had like 5-6 hp left, and secured the gold
One of my favourite moments when playing Wolf: ET were when I together with Shagileo and some other members of SLUT Clan did the BINOCULAR RACE on Siwa Oasis. You must use the binocular while you run from Allies first spawn to the closed gate outside the anti tank guns. Man it was so damn funny.
