Do you like the idea releasing ET for the browser and do you think this project can turn into a real alternative to our beloved ET.exe?
Clown: As I said, if by releasing ETlive, it's the only option for league/clanwar play, then I'm against it. But if you can access the same servers etc. with the way it's done now - then it's ok.
R0SS: Again, having played QL a lot i like the idea of playing ET browser based, however i have a config and i hope that this can be implemented into ETLive and maybe possibly some additional features.
saKen: Assuming they manage to make it run 2.60b automatically and have some good plans to promoting it I guess it could help attract some new player, I wonder how long those will stick around in a community as toxic as this one though.
twidi: Personally I don't mind too much whether I use ET.exe or play the game in the browser, but like I said in the previous comments the browser version with easier configurability would be a great thing for newcomers. Of course it is a possibility that the browser version would replace ET.exe in the future, but I don't think that it is going to happen very soon atleast.
Merlinator: ET.exe hasn't had much love in recent times - lets be honest. I mean ET itself was an incomplete game when released, basically an alpha - it got to where it is now based purely on community support and thats exactly what ETLive will need for success and hopefully not just an alternative but the main way to play and access everything to do with Enemy Territory.
urtier: See first answer!
ag0n: I don't really like the idea of launching the game using a browser, but even QL got a .exe to launch it if i am not mistaken, so it's not something i am worried about.
Personally i think this game needs something new, needs improvements... IF ETL can manage to fix bugs, get bani to finally release source code and improve it a bit, ye it might be a alternative! I would just like to remind that there is few coders at community and people who can help somehow, so lets all work for a common good!
Domi: I love the idea of ET as a "browser" game, I am just wondering how it will turn out, if you look at all the things possible in ET. I am not really convinced that this will "save" our beloved ET, but we can atleast try!
fumble: It sounds like an easier and quicker alternative, but I just hope ettv doesn't die as a result.
biggz: Yes, 100% Some point out the division created when Quake Live was released and that the same thing will happen to ET. The difference with this project is the CF team put right what QL guys got wrong from day one. Rather than losing its audience and potential "convertees" before getting around to fixing issue and providing additional features.
FiLuS: As I said in answer to previous question - idea of ETLive is nice. I am playing QL from time to time, so ETLive won't be a stranger to me. It's certainly more accessible for the public - grab a modern browser, get ETLive account, install plugin and you are ready to go. No need for a research on what version to download, what AC to use, just click and play. If the gameplay will be same as ET (in terms of aiming and general movement and game pace) it can surely replace ET.exe .
kReSti: See first answer!
t4Mj: Definitely. People nescient of ET can get closer to this game w/o problems with application errors, same for casual players - it will be a great thing. I guess ETLive can replace ET.exe in the future and become the dominating client for this game.

Still reading the ideas, hope they are worth to ETL devs.
its gonna be waste of time for the coders, idk why noone says it loud anywhere
We will take all opinions into account and hope to integrate most of the suggested features in the second alpha/beta.
We will set up a forum soon where you guys can discuss the current and posible features.
it would be interesting to make a research about number of active players. i think this is important for the future.
also i dont know why some people compares ET to old shit games. you need to beat the good ones, not half dead corpses : p
I really do wish that they come through with the ETlive project.
Surprised no one said bring back CF3!
