What is the state of ET at the moment? I've got the impression that it is slowly dying because of cheaters, just by looking at the forum posts lately. I just got a new pc, and I'm thinking about starting playing actively again in a month or two when the winter time starts kicking in. But I wonder if competive ET is worth going back to? :)
im sure it will be better in september till cdc but after the lan it will be finally 100% dead
it was early 2006
- one or two EC players busted this season, like last season with Kenta. They got cought in time so no real damage done (senti, naga, gnajda, slajdan)
- no true highskill clans are playing anymore, though theres a few good teams out there, nothing that comes close to TLR, impact, idle, etc
- everyone is waiting for cdc5 announcement. CDC5 is rumoured to be in the end of october, not september as previously said.
- CB EC will be just after CDC5 so expect huge activity in the comming months
- Bani is looking into some request by Anti3 for better cheat protection
- sw_battery failed (again)
- sp_delivery_te is nice
- quakecon failed
- trailer of RTCW2 didnt show anything
- ETQW is more dead then ever, with most top teams already having left the scene
- xfire is being updated
Bani isnt really looking forward to working with Anti3, cause of Chaplja's history. I think hes currently looking at some of their code to see if their work is solid.
cdc5 is not confirmed but ppl working on it say it will prolly be end of october.
Kris is even worse!
It's not looking rosey.
average accuracy with panzerfauser in officials after atleast 100 of those: 300% \o/
It´s barely a Zombie :/
That is why i started playing CoD4
i'm pretty noob right now but within a year i will win the next cdc with my CoD4 team.
I'm also prolly going to start looking for team or form new one and play actively again after cdc5 has been announced and dates confirmed
Basicaly it looks like this :
- you look for low+ to warm up , find a game (8 times out of 10 against a polish mix) rape them and get kicked for skill fake
- so you start looking for med skill , find a game and you got 99% chances of having to play supply , they rape you on supply and then you pick a decent map, either A, kick you because it s not supply or B, they suddenly become low- on any other map and kick aswell....
- so you keep on looking withoutsearching for a particular skill as it doesnt mean shit and there are almost no game anyway, still hoping that this third game will let you play at 2 maps on a cheater free server and without whining laggers... BUT same shit again, either they are too low and it s not funny or they have new guids and huge talent.
and as no one cba doing tax or playing serious, we are stuck looking for low / med games :(
we were teh AD guys
- etpro is dead compared to etmain, etpub, noquarter or jaymode
and if we talk about wars:
- there are no teams that could beat idle or tlr
- if you want a scrim, expect that every 3rd team will have a cheater
- new good players won't come as they will be called "nonames" in wars, they will probably come to crossfire, discover it's full of idiots and they will uninstall the game as fast as they can or they will continue playing pubs
all in all, we decide if the game is dead (duh)
FUCKING NO!
ET has definitely stood the test of time in my eyes tho..
