The state of ET?

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? :)

why is xfire suddenly green? WTF XFIRE2
not because of cheaters, just too many players leave it nowadays :<<<
im sure it will be better in september till cdc but after the lan it will be finally 100% dead
agree, thats not because of cheaters but because of great, interesting players leaving it
Parent
Yeah basically since some time it's the same after every CDC/EC - "ET is gonna die fo sho now" and somehow everything goes on practically unchanged...
Parent
i remember reading cro forums and people said ET is dead

it was early 2006
Parent
i guess after the lan announcement and the summer it is gonna be better than now ( but still shit )
its worth it, we have awsome et girls :~>
like 6 months ago it was already quite hard to find a decent 6on6 its really dying fast imo
ET is so 2005/2006
and they was right
ET died on 29. Mai 2003.
Wrong. It died when parodia won EC and quit playing. =p
Parent
im 99% sure this will be the last :D (though ETACE may change something so it wont die!)
I'm 99% sure that your 99% is 99% off!

current state of ET:

- 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
nice sum up
Parent
hmm Battery is so easy to fix :/
Parent
so why don't u do it then? ^^
Parent
Sounds like fun! About when is the next CDC tournament? Did Bani ever look into the anti3 project? And I really hate new maps, that bremen map was a total disaster of a map :p
Parent
Bremen is still played a lot. Sp_delivery only got accepted by the 5v5 scene so far, prolly cause its used in Summercup, which is 5v5 also. The new Sp_delivery is really nice, major fps upgrades and so far the maps has few flaws.

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.
Parent
Nice, maybe I'll have a chance to go then :) I heard it was supposed to be in the beginning of september, which was on too short notice for me
Parent
There's still plenty of time :)
Parent
Say bb!! Sainted will give you 100 warning points!
Parent
Just stating facts :)
Parent
But he cant handle the truth....
Parent
Yeah i once called him a shit moderator and I got banned.
Parent
I'm so sick of browsing in this police state ...
Parent
thats cause chosen is a childish cunt
Parent
i have to disagree!
Parent
battery isn't finished, m8
Parent
just wait for rtcw2 and play tetris meanwhile.
cheaters are winning!
i heard rumours that you are nc admin!
Parent
anti3 should be implented to every possible cup ET has. Could save a lot
the level is too low.
playing et wars online is mostly a waste of time, since most of the opponents are some random new talent heroes
Ja ET is best wel dood tbh, mja
please, stay away unhitable trash!
hah!!! Nice connection phate, just as good as kris's :))
Parent
:D
Kris is even worse!
Parent
If the new Wolfenstein game ends up like ET:QW who knows what'll happen...

It's not looking rosey.
I don't know and I don't care either :> it can be fun or very annoying to play et, that's all I know! btw invite me in o6 clan!
Hi! Done :>
Parent
it'll never die if i would be in charge ;)
i hate this gay game >_<
et died when mystic did have to go army
Nah, I'll stick with Q3 and COD2 while I'm waiting for RTCW2 :P. Is there given out a release date for it?
there was a trademark saying 2009.Someone rumored about February also
Parent
ET died in Eurocup XIII semi final 1 deMiurge vs idle.ee
haha, good one :p
Parent
haha, good one :p
Parent
haha, bad one :l
Parent
haha, lotix one :[
Parent
it was practically the final :p
Parent
my favourite game ever :)
Parent
mine2

average accuracy with panzerfauser in officials after atleast 100 of those: 300% \o/
Parent
i loved night's panzer more :P
Parent
"slowly dying"

It´s barely a Zombie :/
its over
i got the feeling ET is as good as dead.
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.
next year there will be cod5 or cod6
Parent
no, there wont, cod5 is only for consoles and cod6 might be released in a year or two. I cant stand people who dont want to play cod4 coz cod5/6 will be out soon, man it's rly stupid point of view imo
Parent
no, it's stupid to already talk about cod6 coming out next year when cod5 didn't come out yet
Parent
where did you heard cod5 was only for consoles?
Parent
where have you heard it will be for PC?
Parent
all over the internet
Parent
guess the whole scene is waiting for cdc5 announcement like overdrive said and if EC will be at the same time I guess we should see many top teams coming back or atleast top players forming new teams

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
you can join my team np.
Parent
sup mate :p
well i started playing again those past 3 weeks.
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 :(
oasis was fun versus you (reload.ford) :D , nice defence

we were teh AD guys
Parent
i find one normal game like this out of 10 games :(
Parent
kanker snipers :PPPPP
Parent
*"respected"
scaterboi lakaii
well if we talk about pubs:
- 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)
"But I wonder if competive ET is worth going back to? :) "



FUCKING NO!
ditch ET and start playing TF2! its great fun!
ET is old, nothing can change that, people will leave after playing it for 5 years or whatever, yet it doesnt have the graphics etc to bring new people to the game.

ET has definitely stood the test of time in my eyes tho..
radar is a lot better
hey lakaii bangbro !
its more alive than et:qw
