Tell some stupid things you did as a beginner in amazing world of ET.
- For the first 5 months or so I used to write server-ip's on a piece of paper and then type them to console... This happened as late as I started playing wars and I remember people wondering why it took so long for me to join server. :D
- Same for the class & spawnbinds, I used limbomenu and I always missed the change when someone called me in vent to change quickly class or I had to change spawnpoint.
- Netlimiter - I really thought it helped me somehow to play better.
- Too high sens - wasted my first year learning to aim better because of it. :/
- Changing sensitivity after losing one duel
- Searching for my first clan and some guys at #et-finland told me to pm Mulsu and tell to him that I could play mg-42 very well
- Joined Ruipperis clan
- I recruited OldenSan into some of my 2weeks-clan and I was excited because I heard he was an amazing player

- downloading hacks
you have 1meg upload, set a max uploading limit to 0,5meg
#2supposedly I said perfo's name when I was sleeping 2-3 years ago
#3would run around on publics playing vs bots in my early days of ET and would chat to them without knowing they could not reply! :D
#4same story with writing down the IPs on paper. ;P
#5would spend weeks with my first clan to arrange scrims versus other public clans. =D (and did not understand competition settings at all, such as: setting a time meant we won a point, even if the opponent beat ours. :D)
Can't really think of anything else!
I was a happy man when I learned to write ^7Aki^4[^7FIN^4]
I dno what else tbh... when i started playing wars i kinda knew everything about configs tho i didnt know how to play wars at all.
- I used to write server-ip's on a piece of paper and then type them to console...
and that :Xd
after 6 months of pubbing i found options -,-
played with invert mouse since then
- when we wanted to play on same server it went like this:
1. go to ET's server browser
2. connect to server and memorize it's name
3. run to other guys house and try to find the server you just connected to (i live right next door to him and we didnt know about instant messaging back then)
+ handful of other really stupid shit i cant remember right now
also as gamma said i think reyalp posted some counter but it was nowhere near as endeavouring and it did not take up lerp and was focused on ET.
2.things like that didnt exist then, no problem really.
3.didnt exist
4.yes, tyvm mango :q
5.never
played about 1 year with default cfg
pubed for too long
i made a clan that lasted 5/6months but that clan never played oc

" =DD
Thats funny
i couldnt decide which color :P
at the very beggining I had my favourite server, and even if there wasnt anyone on it, I was building everything, planting mines and stuff and waited till somebody will connect :XD
knew ip of my favourite pub perfectly :D
didnt know anything, its my 1st online game :D
they were tagged with german colour -=[BOT]=- Gunter, etc
edit: http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=claninfo&idx=149141
I basically wrote them on paper because i was trying servers out, and i remeber i wrote down all the servers where i began with all aiming medals given so i could get double akimbo luger or whatever to rambo around.
do it work well?
but why do you still play with that? you can grab many good configs here and a cheap laser mouse costs around 5-10€
ME 2 BRO LOL
HIGH 5
i specced a friend of me irl hours while he was playing. that was at the time when they brought ET out. they could only play the map Beach in the beginning^^
then the 6 originals came out and i was hours at him just to spec him how he throwed airstrikes at railgun!! :D
i was like OMG he kills everything now :D:D
later he got the flak jacket (cuz he was so cool building everything around)
THEN HE GOT MEDIC LVL 4 and i was OMGOMGOMG while he gave himself the adrenalin needle and then rambo-medic all the way xD
i really thougt that he was the best player ever.
(his name was SFG|DonBubu [StrikeForceGermany])
today i think, i would kill him with np^^ but it was awesome back in the days ^_^
i also remember when i was playing on Whosgaming and i made that clan with the best players on the server recruited even some guy from south korea, i was like "h3h3h3" i have the best clan and i didnt even know how to speak english.
and i think those times are better now but they were not. if they were i wouldnt have moved, good memories always look twice better than what they actually were.
I remember my first game ever, it was on radar, my dad showed me the game (LOL) he was like: "go medic!" i was like "nonononoon i only wanna shoot, because if i go medic i need to revive teammates and i dno whats going on" i basically was scared that ppl would get mad at me so i never went any other class besides being a soldier with an mp40 (i didnt like panzas, not even when i was a newb, even back then i thought they were lame)
so true, i didnt know how to copy+paste server ip from TS
default cfg
camping 24/7
flaming really hard everyone who kills me/thoughts of cheating
u cant beat this!
same here, fucking dark & cant see shit ;D
i was complaining on server-forum about that shit " hey remove that map, its too dark and i cant see there" :xDDD
SERIOUSLY
2. Didn't fully understand the power of the rifle.
3. Thought I was skilled when I did oasis wall jump.
4. Felt like a security guard when I received admin level.
playing 1st war and saying "omg they can see threw tank smoke wtf "
1st config was just "bind k kill"
-playing with configs and getting some red triangles - stupid but responses i got were hilarious
- used my first 1000xp screen as wallpaper for months!
-getting wireless mouse for ET cuz i though it wud be better
- had played WoW for months and when i finally came back to ET i just though i had a bit rustyness. Game just didnt feel the same like it used to but i continued to blame wow. Just played CWs and got highest fragger & dmgs every now and then but still felt i didnt play good. This continued for few weeks before I noticed i got mouse hz at 125...
did that as well
When I started out rtcw I played with a guy who owned everything with what looked like a high sens. So I put my sens to 15 hoping I would own. Was playing with a ballmouse and no mousepad.
I've never bothered to learn to properly use spawnselectors, only in utmost need do I try to use them. I even played on lan while selecting classes through limbo because I was too lazy to make proper binds.
Lagging out during a war in midair, one centimeter infront of truck on radar because I pulled my cable in all the excitement. I had east and my teammate had west but couldnt return it because I was 999-blocking the entire truck, both got secured.
Changing sensitivity after every lost duel? :s
same, I had bank letters just littered with ET ip's :$
- Wrote Ips
- Only knew Fops Class / passing ammo to shoot more....
- High Xp more respect
- Optical mouse shooting randomly up or down didn't know gaming mice existed
- Default X hair with red meant custom CFG ......
- Stock maps / objective
Same about the IP's.
Played with a superlowsense using a Logitech Wireless Lasermouse for 2 years :_D
-Didn't understand how spread works
-Still using Limbo Menu
-Still not using spawnpoint hotkeys
-XP = skill
-Got kicked out of my first game in railgun as axis shooting my teammates with a flamethrower. Or was it one of those bitchy 'Server has disconnected for unknown reason" kicks.
99% of players still don't
Lots of binds with vsay
In the very start so high sens that is just did 360s while trying to shoot.
you were pro when playing with nfp :$
best days of my life pubbing on ETPub with
As for most of us I thought exp = skill. So staying behind cover throwing arty and passing ammo to teammates was amazing.
When wanted to connect to same server with friend i just told him the name of the server and he had to find it from serverlist :)
'gaming mode'
r_shownormals ftw
Minimizing ET and typing the IP with notepad open would've probably been slower on some crappy 2001 PC's which take a minute to vid_restart
changed my cfg too many times :I and always wanted to change my nickname to something else.
haha and my nickname was Term!te.. once I met other Termite on public and forced him to play duel against me to battle who can keep the name.. I won..
we went to public servers and forced ppl to play like 6vs12 against our clan or kick. I also played et so serious at that time.. I whined pretty much in teamspeak with my high voice. I just made CFS to beat my friend's clan and actually we were better than them!
after all this I found out that u can change settings in options.. I talked with my teammate who made "configs" for us.
later on I had to change my nickname to "_M", because nobody let me to play mixes with them in et-finland coz I was flaming so much in clanbase match reports.
journal of the year maybe??
oohhh good old times :))
Wtf?
- i remember when my friend told me about the game, so i dl'ded it, took me ages with like 60kbs, eventually figured out how to join a server, jumped in and i spawned with players and i was like wtf! and just started teamkilling everyone because i thought they were the enemy (LOL) got kicked pretty much instantly, then raged uninstalled being like that games stupid.
did the same with ip's
wrote "no fair" on a public server but what i meant was unfair. :D
In my first year or smth i didnt even aim on the head.
Calling something my own cfg after i had changed gamma and overbrightbits!
Played with mAus wars at low+ while he was high, still dont know what he thought of that;o
what did you aim for then :D
same :P
on a serious note, I loved being a covert on goldrush to throw smoke in the bank where they most of the times had a 12 man defence at the gold, then take a uniform and sneak in behind the gold and start to knife as many as I could, was fun :) !
- used panzer only to destroy tank
- played for public clan, which had msn meetings every week for important stuffff
- took me 5years to know that u can defuse satchel!
e:
now he owns me ;(
TL|Public 4lyf
would spam crouch constantly in duels and wonder why I was losing :(
I used to think i was amazing when i would rape people with fg and think I was pro, but couldnt do it with smg
watched my first ettv with stewie shoutcasting match idle.ee vs helix, when tekoa was in idle and razz was in helix, and i remember saying to my public clanmates that if we prac'd we could be as good as them even tho we were all still on .55 :(
and when i first downloaded the game i had no mouse because i was on a laptop and tried to play using the laptop pad :(
Didn't know I couldn't play on ETTV server, thought there were so many players so I could try to play there!
Still I don't have any idea about ./commands etc. Have used same configs since in the end of 2005. Thanks to hazz/Slayer!
In my the beginning of clan matches we didn't use any kind of voice. Team chat tax :(
Thought guys would reduce different amount of HP whether I hit finger,head,stomach,hand etc...
- Around 2 months later I came back from a vacation, joined the server and said "HEY GUYS, YOUR FAVORITE ADMIN IS BACK". The leader was on and said "sorry mate but we had to kick you, because you can't speak german" and took my admin level. I was pissed off and left the server and tried to find a new cool server
- A few weeks later I joined a clan called |KD|, and they said that I had to download TS2 and use it while playing. I was pretty shy(12 years old at that time), so I muted myself and told them that my mic was broken.
- Never played medic in |KD| since I heard that they had kicked a guy, because he was a rambo medic. I was afraid, that they would kick me too, so I just sticked to engy/fops
- Once I forgot to mute my mic and started whining every time I got killed, even whined on my clan mates. Luckily they didn't understand it, because it was danish. Then I had to explain myself why I lied to them and they wanted my to explain some danish words.
miss those awesome days :(
Spent 4 years on 2.55.
Tought that wallhackers can shoot through walls.
Though xp = everything.
:D!
