ET:2 ? Why

why is the ET community always after a new ET styled game. I stopped playing it because the maps got really boring. So instead of looking/wanting a new ET game, why not make some new maps? I stopped playing about 2 years ago and I am guessing everybody still picks Supply Depot as their map.

I just don't understand why people look for a new ET game since ET is "perfect".

We obviously cant rely on developers/publishers because of the same old shit they keep bringing out....console ports spring to mind here.

We will never get another ET style game because console gamers are retarded and can only press 4 buttons at a time.

BRINK to me has been the closest to ET in years, but as a fan of BRINK I am starting to lose hope with the poor performance of ATI, bugs and no SDK.

So I feel like I am going to go back to et and install qradient(if it still works) and make some maps, I made a map about 5 years ago called teg_vertigo ( it was a trickjumping map) and I hope, I somehow manage to build a decent competition map which most of you will probably slag off :D

This is the difference between pro hardcore gayming and homo gayming.
TL;DR

Assuming it's just another rant by a person not able to change anything.
oh damn why noone ever had this idea yet :o ? rly we must be freaking blind
For the love of god, make a good new map, because i will probably go insane if i have to play supply and gr a few more times
There are many new maps but as I stated many times before.
90% of the ETPlayers are autists, therefore they cant handle changes such as new maps and new rules.

Forever supply
people dont want to play different maps for some reason
because there haven't really been any good new maps since supply
Supply is boring, overplayed. Would prefer more bremen/gr and radar, maybe even oasis.

BRINK is quite okay to play but it is so slow in comparison with ET, waiting for promod
Yo KIPE, I'm happy for you and imma let you finish, but supply is the greatest map ever
Parent
who are you?!
Parent
castle adler ufo(with edition on obj part) should be played a lot more but hey, pracc SD only !
Why play new maps..




.. when radar, goldrush and supply are already the most perfect maps ET has and will have to offer?
+1 on radar
Parent
most perfect.. yes.. but overplayed? If there are new maps which are as perfect as those 3 maps it would be way more fun. Finding out new tricks/positions/tactics/....

not saying that the gameplay/playingstyle on those 3 maps isnt changing/developing.. but its far from what it was 2-3 years ago :S
Parent
why not make some new maps?
stop trolling.

ET has enough good maps but the people keep playing the standarts.
The only true standard map still in play is radar.
Parent
Gold rush?
Parent
sw_goldrush_te is an edit by people independent of SD & id. Can't really be considered a stock map!
Parent
Radar with no grass and fog can't either then!
Parent
But radar is modified by ET commands only. :(

Can't wait for the day someone releases radar_HARDMODE.pk3 with forced rain, grass and fog. Oh and mudpools in front of side entrance and main entrance.
Parent
and you slip in the grass if you jump to far on your side :p
Parent
YEH, AND MOTHERFUCKING HELICOPTERS RAINING DOWN RIFLE GRENADES.


AND RANDOM MINE SPAWNS.
Parent
Crazy. I like it.
Parent
Beginning to wonder why I wasn't asked to be part of the Mapping committee, or whatever the fuck it was they did.
Parent
Modified you say?

Not standard you say?
Parent
please also make it possible to open the door under main bridge. always wanted to find out whats in there.
Parent
i love when people play supply and then ragequit / start enourmous whine when goldrush gets voted :)))))))))))))))))))
supply goldrush adlernest radar bremen frostbite ice beach karsiah delivery ..

yet people still play supply/gr
:DDDDD

garage would be epic :) <3
Parent
wouldn't it ? maybe is should port it mate, what do you think about the gameplay in et 3v3? since you play et longer than i
Parent
i think it'd be cool to see it ported to ET anyway .. haven't played much et for a while, but most people prefer 5v5 now tbh
Parent
continuation map for supply
starts where supply ended
epic idea!
Parent
make the tunnel longer and let it end up at the barn of alllies and do it TWICE :D
Parent
the truck has to drive on the road from radar to the main gate and then allies start at the flag and have to take the radar parts and bring them to the truck :o
Parent
go for it!
Parent
No good maps in ET besides RADAR!
I wonder why chess is played with only one map
Not enough support from splashdamage. (new patches etc)
No cups with money prizes to motivate players.
No ETPro source code => No updates in ETPro
Lack of maps which are good for competition.
Low public interest.
It takes time to become skilled at those maps.

I remember this movie where a female shoutcaster casted a match which was one of the first matches in which a team positioned a medic in the back of the truck in Supply Depot to escort it out of the Axis base. I think it would be nice to see skilled teams come up with new & stunning strategic moves but that would only be possible on new maps.
BRINK with SDK will solve EVERYTHING.
Gonn make the best map for it
