ok, just thinking today about ET2, and the lack of it.
how many people are active in this community? and how many would fucking LOVE a real, viable, playable ET2? not some shit version made for the masses to cash in on a popular design, not an ETQW fuck up, but a real, designed, supported, new map released, updated version of et, better graphics, same class system, same xp system, real anticheat included (slac obviously as it does work), PLAYABLE GAME.
what would you do to see that?
now heres the crazy bit. the bit ive no clue about, but i think might be worth looking into. how much would this cost? really cost? £10,000? £30,000? £50,000?

"Casual and social games obviously have a lower development cost. Development cost for most of these games (having a development cycle of 6 months) is between $30k and $300k."
but this is to develop a game from scratch. come up with an idea, develop gameplay, maps, systems to involve the player. ET already has all that. it has a platform, and its proven to work.
ok, so, how about giving a big lump of money to a game developer with a reputation, giving them all the basics and say "ok, you got 6 months to come back with a revamped, full on FPS taken and built around ET", draw up contracts (easy really), set them a realistic timescale, and see what they say.
ok, so where does the money come from? you. you , the et lover and player. sponsorship (speedlink paid chaplja for an anticheat, so why wouldnt other mgc's chip in?). im not selling this as a business / money making idea. im selling this to a gaming community that has stayed with a 9 year old game, and still has a regular player base of around 2000 - 3000? active players? this website has that anyway that all claim to play regularly. so why not put in say £10 each? youre not paying for the game, youre paying someone to develop it. theres your 30 grand right there. ok so some will laugh, some will say it will never work, but it could couldnt it?
the game would stay free, you get a whole new ET for the next 6,7,8 + years, and the community grows, gets bigger, stronger, better. thats worth £10 just to see it mess up surely? :P
how much do you want ET2?
this is just the beer fuelled thoughts of a half drunk old scottish guy (no, not you jelly), and im sure itll get "tl:dr" and the usual shit, but what if it worked.....
....brb getting my chequebook.

if ET wouldn't be good as it is now, no1 would play it...
and i wouldnt cry if i would lose 10€ for nothing.
just to see that sometimes things work.
everyone can see those facts... (many ppl still love this game)
But Ill take the fps games that my pc can run good, so dunno about higher quality games
doesn't make sense to change what is already perfect
yeah you may get some people on here saying "yeah i'd pay x€ for new et" but in reality the majority of competitive et players don't want to pay for shit (and many are students), for example just see how many people here play LoL despite HoN being vastly superior and that's only 30$
and personally i wouldn't contribute because i believe that
a) money could be better spent within the community than a project like this, no amount of graphical improvements is going to magically bring a wave of new players, i just don't think there'd be any return
b) there are better things i could purchase for myself, i already have et and i like it so i'd rather get new things, the visuals of a video game are of no importance to me
it's one thing to make a map, but for it to be adopted by the community... that's the difficult part, it has to be good enough which many simply aren't (atleast, they are not viable long term), infact i'd say making a good competitive map requires luck
supply/gold/radar are never going to go away. hell even today in quake they still play ztntourney3 which actually should be almost 15 years old now if not already. only maps like adler/frost have a chance of getting replaced
I would pay 10 € ...
and now kick someone from BiO i wanna play :D
E: Otherwise we had it once with this New Wolfenstein shit, Graphics that no PC can handle and you have to pay for it is anyone still playing this shit? :DD
zadrot ebaniy
ok , fand den gut.
For Brink to have a hope in hell of succeeding it will need another person like Bani and for all the CoD faggots to stay well away haha.
buying etpro source from bani would help a lot more than starting full blown game dev project. if you had etpro source finding active developers for free wouldn't be a problem now after what, 4 or 5 years? without any updates.
Don't think so :o
but i prefer 6on6 back and 2-3 new competition maps :-)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA quote of the fucking year man...
anyway it's a nice idea but i don't see the guy in this society who would take care of this like supervise working on the game and making us sure that money wont be wasted
i dont need any new better graphic details and stuff due to shit pc and so on and i like the game how it is. just stay with the game and we will all be happy if we just support the game!!!
over and out :D!
