ET Is there anything left to play on?

Hello. Been a while since I played and been thinking about whats going on on Enemy territory lately.
Is there still servers to play on?
Not sure anyone'd even remember me to be honest but it'd still be cool to try and come back again. Soon as I find a version of the game that can play on modern systems.
Thanks for the replies, if any. lol

if 40-50 players everyday on few servers is enough then yes, we are pretty active 😛 

For client, i suggest to use ET legacy.

Awesome.. its freaky I forgot all about the game here, until I just now, well at time of that post there, clicked New To You on youtube and found a video of a dude talking about dead games and .. Wolfenstein was on it.
Coolest part, he was on the clans servers for it.

Theres the link and the timestamp is already preset so u can just click and go.
It was teh beginners 2 server.

Strangely enough, Im a superstitous man and something seems to indicate I should return my gaze towards ET here.

Welcome back!


As others have already said, ET still is thriving. While the player base is not nearly as big as it used to be during the game's hedays (I remember the game having hundreds of populated servers in the early to mid 2000s), there are still multiple servers running at full player capacity during the prime hours, among others our very own Recruiting (Jay1), Silent Recruiting (Silent 1) and Beginners 2. Especially Recruiting (Jay 1) is always packed, even in the most terrible off-hours (middle of the night, early morning) player count rarely drops below 20.

 

With regards to Enemy Territory, the video is therefore - thankfully - a bit misleading. Enemy Territory is far from being dead and in a different ballpark than a game like Tactical Ops with regards to player counts.

 

For playing ET nowadays, you have two options: one, is to simply download Enemy Territory from Steam and then configure it to your liking, just like in the old days. The other option, and the one I would recommend, is to download ET: Legacy (LINK), a modern client for modern computers that gives you the best experience you can get out-of-the-box without tinkering.

You can get ET up-to-date version on Steam: ET

 

not available in Germany !

 

please remember August 2001,

RTCW was not available in Germany too.

We had to preorder it in the states!

 

It's because of the swasticas etc.

and these are not allowed in Germany.

From your profile, it looks like you last made a post here some 10 years ago, BUT you are still a "level 12", "inactive member'.

 

Once you get your new ET going and do some posts on the forums, we can change you back to "ET Member", although there have been many changes!  😄

Yes, I just got a screen grab showing @floki playing!  😄  (and the players have FA Christmas skins showing!)

AH, those skins are deceptive.  When a demo is replayed, all of the 'extra' pk3s downloaded over the years may be shown in the replay.   I remember the first time that I replayed a demo, it had many 'graphic features' from various servers that I had played on.  "WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF?" I remember thinking, especially the barely-clothed nazi medic women! ???

Yup. It is the best prescription for fevers i hear. :) 
Yeah looks like I started 14 years ago.. Holy smokes!
I barely remember many names. I DO think i remember you at least once.
I was usually sitting in spectator watching people to make sure they weren't cheating most the times. 
Believe it was because I did that, many could play normally and I'd keep the eyes open. i was always recording my games so even if i THOUGHt i saw something, I could review afterwards.
I'm sure that is why i have that level 12 status. Feel free to change as needed. I believe i have been woefully neglect in my duties the past almost decade lol. I can take it, sir! 😄 

To be honest Baska was one of the main people I hung around with, remember a Joe Dirt too.
Indeed, am very glad to see things still running here to be honest. Runnin the game now shouldn't be a concern and I have a mic so there's that too.
Oh I'm getting it knowing its on steam. 
For now, I'll just get my keister back into the game. let me know what i need to do to stay FA for now and Ill catch up , please.

Thanks and Huh.... Funny how life makes these fluke connections.

Yes! I was like ' I swear the health packs had red on them but... obviously not!'  When I first moved into my own place back in 2001 I was playing Tribes most the time, but soon a sthis came out, hardcore from 2003 to like 2007, I was playing ET minimally 3-4 hrs a day. 
I would just SIT in spectator watching ppl play.
Ex beta tester , my mind worked different. I'd rather watch than play. 
Kinda still do.

You shook a memory here. I remember a guy I used to duo public servers with on Oasis specifically, Daskampfschaf , told me the Germans had different attire in his game than the dull gray ones with the .. euhh. logos.. as you state.  I cant remember if he ever showed a screenshot or not.  It was just a casual dude i know.. maybe not even a dude.. *mind blown* anyhow.. long story short, I heard about these conditions because of the sensitivity issues even back then.
Do you remember if Return to castle Wolfenstein also had such conditions in germany?
