Wolfenstein ET anyone?

[Adrian II]

I never considered Wolfenstein ET until my kids told me to play it. They love to beat their Dad in shooters.

Since I always do as I'm told, I enlisted along with dozens of other noobs (insert sepia photograph of Adrian II in battle fatigues with cigar stump in mouth and voice-over saying: 'The day before he saw action, Adrian II wrote in a letter to his girlfriend: "If I make it to Berlin I can finally pay for your abortion, so shut the * up and send me a cake, woman."').

Within minutes I found myself in the thick of the action in snowy Bavaria, a.k.a. Fueldump, one of the classic ET scenarios. I loved it, particularly the covert ops and mortar roles.

I began to frequent the servers of the sfs-clan.eu where a certain Tosa Inu is chief admin. The day before yesterday I even had the pleasure of blowing the Honourable Tosa Inu to smithereens with a mortar shell (yes, Tosa, I am Baby Jesus).

Yesterday I personally the fueldump twice in a row and made General.

Then it struck me that we could easily make an .Org team on WET. The game is totally free so everyone can play, the client can be quickly downloaded, no effort or expense required.

I could easily build a new character named Adrian II for the purpose. We could create characters under our Org. names. Maybe Tosa Inu would be so kind to suggest the best way for us to engage in team warfare. Mayhaps we could set up a dedicated server. To put a long proposal short:

Headshot, anyone?

I suck at games like this, but for free I'll give it a whirl.

I've had poor luck getting such clients to work for me (not tech-savvy enough). I hit the download link, save file, and then when I click it on my desktop I get a message that windows doesn't recognize the file type and doesn't know what program to use to open it. From there I'm stumped. A little friendly tech support and I'd be happy to join in.

The file from download.com seems to be an executable(.exe), should be easy to open and install. I'm currently downloading it as a zip archive and every Windows since ME or so can open these by default.

If I can get it to work, I'm in.

Shouldn't this be in the Arena?

OK, so I propose we all buckle up and try some the www.sfs-clan.eu servers.

They have three servers running 24/24, the mods and atmosphere are okay there and they don't wipe your XP all the time. If our American friends have trouble logging on to an sfs server or getting acceptable pings (25 to 60) we can always change to another server.

Warning: the language on sfs-servers is not PG13 and the Medics are outfitted as women in tight pants; as a Covert Ops you can, um, divest them of their upper garments.. unless they kill you first and use their knife to cut off your um.. well, you get the picture.

The first sfs-server is for Fueldump only. Fueldump is teh original WET scenario and it is still so popular that it deserves its separate server.

The second server, 'Africa', has three other classic scenarios that are constantly recycled: Battery, Oasis and Goldrush (aka Tobruk).

The blueprints of the maps are kinda hard to find on the Web, but I have found a good URL here.

The third sfs server has twelve different scenarios for hardcore players, so I think we should stay away from that one for the time being.

I will create a new character named Adrian II on sfs-fueldump and see what comes up. Starting anew means you suck as a marksman etcetera, but is worth the trouble and promotion is very fast in this game if you play it well.

I play the American side usually, but if luck finds me on the Kraut side I won't hesitate to shoot, Jahaaa!

P.S. Oh, and Ajax, there are two patches. Make sure to install the 260b patch. It is indispensable.

Nudity, sir, in a war game?! How outrageous! How scandalous to tarnish the noble sport of killing one's fellow man for pleasure and profit, watching their blood splatter on your uniform, listening to their screams as you trample their dying bodies, with such inappropriateness! Tis enough to cause a stoic man to avert his eyes for fear of impurifying his soul!

In other words, yes, I'll see if I've still got it installed.

Only have some knowledge from americas Army and TF2 but if I should ever get a ping of less than 100 on an American server I'll notify you, I doubt it's possible to play together with both pings being similar except maybe on a northpole server or so.

Hello Adrian II,

While I have both RTCW and ET and played both online and used the nick TosaInu there as well, I'm not the Tosa Inu you saw.

ET is a nice game indeed, Kraellin and me played quite some.

Heh half of SC plays Enemy Territory, but I think ET PUB is best.
We are playing at eft server.
