Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a Glorious Nine Years Old!

Since you say your first game, I hope I can do do :smiley:

Well, I guess my XP wasn’t meeting the requirements, I had no server list, and was only able to play offline on 2.55: the 2.60b wasn’t letting me play even in local. So my first game was Radar in local x)

It was so underpowered that when I was trying to build the Axis MG in the tower, it was cancelled before finishing it, even if keeping the mouse left pressed o.o And no way to plant dynamite…

Then added RAM from 128 to 768, MS list, play online.

I always like playing fueldump, first time I played it I was amazed at the graphics, still am, and the length of the map. Happy Birthday!

[QUOTE=iDan;400797]My first ever game was on Radar, my dad had to choose the team & class for me as I was lost in the limbo menu:D.

Most memorable map is Railgun with my old wireless mouse (I went through 10-20 of these within a few months).[/QUOTE]

Hah…thats cool man. Yeah I remember showing my kid how to play. Then he grew up and kicked my butt on ET.

The platinum edition looks quite nice (may it be cherished by however is lucky enough)! However, giving the ‘most memorable’ moment is impossible for me. There are so many things - on so many levels. There is a reason that I’ve been playing it for so long. From the really small things, to have a ‘multikill’ or begging health packs from an enemy medic as covert ops, to the big things (I don’t know if it’s noquarter mod-specific) like pushing people off the bridge on goldrush as covert ops, getting a 25 killspree and dominating the post-game screen (hopefully not on the Darwin-award :wink:)

However, there is more! I started creating some maps for ET a few years ago. Most of them are ‘fun’ maps (a local bar I’ve recreated, a Ice-scating ramp, a level with glass cubes (and you have to shoot them to get to the enemy side) and many more). Some of them were ‘real’ maps most of them have ended in half-finished projects. Then I would usually play this fun maps with friends on mini-lan’s. It’s a great feeling to play on your own creation. I’d even try to customize the mods by some very basic ‘lua’ scripting. This is one of the reasons that I’ve decided to start studying IT and programming related stuff. If all goes well, I’ll be studying a game related master next year. I’ll be happy if I can make something that is close to ET !

tl;dr: ET is a great game. This is proven by that fact that it’s still (actively) played. The gameplay and teamplay is great and it’s the best game that I’ve ever played (Sorry for ET:QW & Brink, I’ve have played them both but I’m still going back to ET). The 9th anniversary proves this! Happy birthday for ET (and for me in 7 days :tongue:)!

Wow playing this game from day one, after 9 years only thing I can say is I still didn’t get bored with it! Happy Birthday ET and great work SD!

Next year it’s a DECADE :eek:

:), I was 12 at the time, still got that original disc. I remember where we parked at the store, where the magazine was & where other people were standing.

I remember the pictures in the magazine and some of the text from the players. A sniper on Battery near the lighthouse prone scoping, and the text was “LET HIM OUT RETARD BOY”… I felt at home before even playing the game :D.

Played until 2006 constantly, every single day. I was playing in a clan for 1 year inwhich I met someone who lived litteraly in the next city from me (13 miles away). I added him on Myspace in 2007 and now have him on Facebook. Turns out he knew my cousins and family members. He’s also been to many places with my friends (who he also played with and didn’t know it). Small world :).

I still speak to him now and then, he was my e-buddy for such a long time <3.

I had to leave our clan (Promo Gaming) and joined International Killers. I reached my top skill level which was 2006 HIGH SKILL, after YEARS of practice & dedication. I then leave a few weeks later when I decided to quit ET as I wanted to spend it with friends. I found my girlfriend within 1 month, and still with her now (6 years in July ;)). I spent all my time outside drinking & not sleeping :P, I also went to college so had no more time to play.

Still don’t really play now, only now and then on XP save servers (which I used to hate)…

<3 2003-2006

Here’s a little historical gem showing an advert for ET from my SoF2 jewel case, from before they decided to ditch the singleplayer component (submitted to Moby Games, if it’s approved it’ll appear here):
