Your ideas/opinions about an RtCW/ET remake

ET is a fast-paced game, and that's what makes it so special, so the one thing that shouldn't be modified is the engine, the physics, the mechanics of the game. I guess it could use some eye-candy, but ain't that what ET XReal was for? (or whatever it was called)

And how do you think you're going to do that?

My goal with this project/idea is to take a modern day engine, heavily modify it so it fits the gameplay of ET/RtCW

:D

you'll have a lot trouble creating an engine similar to idtech3 by modifying some cod/battlefield shit

e: not that I don't support the idea, I just doubt that you'll have the motivation (considering the stuff you said when you quit et).

Only medial attention could bring some activity, be that through having the game on steam or a new release with lots of advertisement, I doubt that graphics matter much

i love old style graphics as rtcw et quake etc, no need to change it to attract newfags

I think cheats destroyed ET. CS 1,6 is old game with low graph too but its support by steam and its still very popular game. Quake was dead game but QL bring it back to live. ETlive was great idea.

Another journal , same subject. Rather than resurrecting the death I see this much more simple;

1. play it like it is, stop trying pursuit the happyness when is right in front of your eyes
2. do something else if you feel this no longer give you satisfaction

ET will never die on publics, its free, its awesome and people can easily host their own dedicated and modded servers. However as a competitive game it has had its days. RTCW has a little bit of a comeback at the moment solely because a good caster has returned and pretty much everyone on here had a boost of nostalgia. We dont have a single good caster for ET, many have tried and all of them have failed and I expect the hype around RTCW to die off quite quickly as well.
I think that every game has a limited life span, competitively speaking.
Guy above me mentioned CS 1.6 being a good and popular game. That is very much true and the steam stats support that. At any given day CS 1.6 has more players on steam than CSS does, nearly twice as many. And CSS has nearly twice as many players as CS:GO does. Hence CS:GO isnt that popular of a game (especially not when compared to something like dota2 which pulls 8x its numbers) but that is where its at competitively. DHW had a CS:GO tournament rather than a CS 1.6 tournament.
We can play the game on pubs, we can try to find scrims every now and then, if people actually manage to organize cups and tournaments we can play those. But it will never return to its former glory or anything remotely like it.
It is time to move on. Many ET players have tried to find a new competitive game. Many of us played CoD4 which I believe only had a competitive scene for the lack of a more interesting alternative..
Some even tried to find a competitive game that isnt a FPS and fell into the marketing trap that is LoL.
Which ever way you want to go its just time to move on now.
I for myself have been multi-gaming for years and havnt been commiting to a game to "pracc hard go pro" which is obviously nessecary for competitive gaming.
That changed a little lately as, for the first time in years, I have found a team-based FPS that is actually aimed at competitive play.

What makes ET so special?
Engine and have to say everything.

You can make everything for you.
Graphics (you can play on shit,on high,or even with small boxes - hallo amazon!)
Based on teamplay - You need every class for everything (cvops for destroying cp,engi to build it,medic to revive both,fops to give ammo to all of them - you need everyone at some part of the map..)
Physics - strafe , trick jumping

This game needs 3things to Impress new people,younger people
1) New maps - more maps
2) Better graphics
3) Real anticheat

nerd xD tl;dr but rtcw&et best fps games iv played period

what to do to revive et? nothing stick with it like it is , ppl are leaving to cod,cs,sc,dota,lol,bf3 and other games

gtfo already

why the fuck would we want a "remake"
We already have the game

I would like to join the previous speakers. Another problem is that it is relatively difficult to install ET. I know many people that have been pointed out by word of mouth. But already when trying to install ET had lost the desire. Why is there not a single setup file and that's it? A setup that anticheat and average Config contains. Just install and play. That is the Root of the Problem to get younger people without that big gaming or PC experience.There is much "talk about ETLIVE" or "let's make a remake" but to be serious: we all know that's are just empty words from people which need some attention, but never bring anything to the end. No offense but...

my tought


i didnt read

wtf with all of these journals

play ET or gtfo

more Cups with prizes..

I think it would be easier to try to have ET accepted into Steam Greenlight. I think someone already tried it but did not put alot of effort into it.

this should be taught to players

i dont think the gameplay or graphics is the biggest issues, advertising is where it failed

That could be a good idea but it needs to dont be so different from ET and RtCW

needs to be a simple install from Steam

blah blah heard it all before, im happy playing competitive rtcw and fun et mixes once a week

Ok so you are saying we should do things that normally a company of developers do and get paid hundred's of thousands. If that was even nearly possible it would've already happened.

man you dont get it... this has been said xxxx times before and I think barely anyone even believes in ETlive anymore either. Instead, just surprise the community with a prototype. By now anyone approxemetly knows what people wantout of the game, not much to discuss. What reason to discuss a remake? Ofc it is needed, but just do it and dont hope for answers like "you are our savior" or whatever...

Actions mean a lot more than words, all you "re-makers" should just get on with it and keep us updated with the progress made rather than give us false hope as usual.
