I dont like cod4 or et:qw and the ET scene is pretty much dead. Most ppl are either busy playing cod4 or praccing for their last ET games to be played on lans but that's about it.
Im sure there are more ppl out there that dont like cod4 and et:qw and realise the same thing about et, so my question is what games are you waiting for next and hoping to be nice to play in competition?
Don't say RTCW2, because it doesn't seem that will ever arrive anytime soon.
anything?

CDC 4 + next CB spring season =/= dead
if u see how many ET teams signed up for cdc4
On a serious note, I can imagine how you feel. I got tired of so many bad scrims with 5 times ref-pausing cause someone gets a phonecall. Too many cheaters too. I looked into some other games, but QW and CoD4 are horrible. I tried playing some UT3, but it's more goofing around than a serious game. So, if you find a good substitute for ET, tell me.
CoD4: cba
ET:QW: tried it and it really reall sucked
as for et: i really love the game, but it IS dieing. 'everyone' is med+, too much cheaters, only 1 good public,...
full 24/7
it's good compared to cybergames where 60% of your team doesnt know how to play.
and it sure beats servers like element'fragland and u|k server because they are runnng campaign LOL
edit: at cybergames they vote the time to 1200 minutes anyway so that makes it suck even more
Can you give me the ip's? thanks
I dunno if there's any more, I'll look into it later.
I think you'll have to wait for a very long time to get an FPS game like Wolfenstein/ET :)

Otherwise wsw is nice.
Seems you're going to have to take up WoW! :D
and yup, im screwed. seems it will be ages before any good teambased fps will come that I might give a try again.
gamewise try cs:s ! tho it's boring after some time
Besides, I want to play a team-based FPS, not something like rose, WoW etc..
It was a Q3 mod but now uses the ioQuake (free GPL) engine so you don't need retail Q3 to play it, and the current version, 4.1, comes as an all in one installer so it's effectively a complete free game, and it'll run on anything that can run ET.
Some ET players are coming over already, I play with a couple of guys from Team Lithium and Mashed (the shoutcaster) is currently looking for a UrT clan.
Gameplay is mainly CTF, but there's also Team Survivor and Bomb modes.
The main characteristics are that it's very fast, proper Q3 strafe-jumping etc., but with added walljumps (ala Warsow) and powerslides. Unlike Warsow it's played 5-v-5 in clan matches and is set in modern urban environments with modern weapons, which are generally very accurate and powerful.
There are no vehicles, no deployables, no XP system etc., it's just mad fragging fun.
Downside is there's only about 700-1000 players at any one time, and although there's serval busy public servers the clan scene is a bit slow. It used to be hugely active, and is regaining some of it's former glory, but it's still a bit slow if you're wanting a couple of scrims a night.
The only problem, like I said, is lack of activity in the clan scene. Finding a busy pub is no problem any time of the day, but getting a scrim some evenings can be hard.
Pity really, I have a good PC, I can play COD4 / ET:QW on high(-ish) settings, but I find myself playing an old Quake3 mod because the gameplay simply blows modern games out of the water.
'tis sad that so many game developers these days just want to make their games all shiny and pretty and stuff them full of stats and other useless crap at the expense of gameplay :(
We should get all those players to 2.60, so new clans will form and CB will actually get some new signups ;D
otherwise, i dont know, havent tried cod4 or etqw :)
Cod4 praccs, but it dosent give me the same feeling like in ET :(.
World In Confilct is one game that is very interesting. Playing with friends is just so freaking fun.
I'm in the same boat really. As soon as my friend stopped playing ET I thought "What's the point?" and I've been entirely unimpressed with everything ever since.
The real thing that bores/annoys me with new games, are the maps. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to make a semi-original, refreshing map. That's why I can't see myself playing CoD4 competitively. Those maps are fun on a public server for a while but even then they get boring very quickly.
I honestly don't know what's left. All new titles seem to just be pure shit. :(
Warsow -> sometimes when drunken and stuff
Dota -> <3
Ragnarok online - <33
waiting for rtcw 2
i can wait for years on it (:
Unless you go into addictive RPG's but i doubt that's what you want...
I'm still hoping for RTCW2 and ofc Diablo 3 ^^
What I think the fun part in ET is teamplay, teamplay is made by maps.
In ET in every map there is so called "Chockpoint" where is easy to defend and its the only place where you can defend. Attacking team needs to revive fast to get true thouse points or some other thingi, like support or good strike.
in QW there is not. Strogg revive is so fucking wierd ... and slow. You can fly to the objective and get it done...
Atm i'm just play random ET mixes and some cs :P
Hitboxes feel really really good now, and you got ETQW TV and stuff.
And a promod is coming soon too...
Game play is just terrible. Thouse flying thingi and tanks... :(.
Its just another battlefield.
few comments above some1 writed about getting new players from unpatched or/and etpub scene... but they will end playing v. fast... why? the name of cheater is realy annoying... and fosho they will get this title.. its not like ppl that are not playing @ 2.60 etpro are nubs... and a lot of our community dont understand this...
ps. its not like u can't win against the cheater... its impossible to create a cheat that will "have skill"... bot or wh can improve some1s gameplay but still u can defeat him with your ability to think...
ps. and fuck of from polish ppl :]
Most new games coming out are a different engine/genre therefore its not always possible to like them.
The best thing to do, is like how some peeps have stated above, we need to get all the playesr that play unpached, pubservers, jaymod etc to play competitive et - get NEW MAPS, CONFIGS its the only way.
