[center]Yes.. the good old Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is still alive :D[/center]
I have been playing since it came out. I pretty much was a big noob for 1,5 years. I was pubbing in 2.55 till 2.60 was released, and my fav server I was playing (something like
Neuremberg server) didn't go with the 2.60 patch so I went to other servers, ending up on the Gaymods.I kept connecting to some goofy server from
[CCCP] clan. They had rank structures in the tag..(old school tags :O) like [CCCP]Srg.Walk!n Target and they had actually 22 ranks based off the Russian Army. I made some good friends there and we had an AWESOME time. I started making maps in this period of time and also looking around to improve my gameplay..ending up with tinkering my first config.Not much scrimming at that time, until I met John.
I still remember match we had against some guys from [id] and with John on supply. It was a little scrim with
Verm, Dustin, John against 
me, Doomfish, Slayer and Joemamma.We were getting owned like little kids xD I mean Dustin was being lame fops blocking Allied spawn with a nade and outside covering with an airstrike..aced. Verm planted dyno in our spawn, and he got 2 dyno kills off, while John was hunting us down with a knife XD
Good days roflmao.
-ET 2.60b came out-
Then
[CCCP] fell apart. Some kids went emo, and the couple of elders we had in there left. I was searching for nice clans, and made it to |ABC| gaymod clan. Pretty nice time there. I got into Etpro much more because of the reasonable players on the
|ABC| server. At least I though so, but I discovered that they all were using adren.. :/Anyways, I wanted to have an scrimteam for ABC so that took off. But not really well. From the 50 people in ABC, only a couple wanted to join the scrimteam. I was like #)&%)@ omfgwtfbbq and left.
Then I got my own configs site (epic fail .. but yea you gonna try something) and started my own clan:
[CoH] (Code of Honor) an ETpro clan.. I picked up a couple of members quick and wanted start scrimming.In this one legendary scrim we had versus some other NL/BE players, we got beaten pretty bad. One of their guys just aced us twice.
So 3 of my clanmates joined THEIR team after the match. Catching me on total surprise the only statement they wanted to give was: "they are better you @ [CoH], I'm sorry but I go with them."
Then I realised, pro players are bitched :>
I applied for etk when they had their old school tags as =>ETK<=. Made some friends there but did not stay very long as I was the only euro in a whole NA team..I just saw them not that much due to timezones.
I was so .. in rage with the pro scene I went back to gaymod &
|ABC|. Afterwards realising I never should have done that. I raged their faces now. But when they wanted to have every1's config, so they could check if clanmembers are not hacking, I had my doubts. Clearly they though I was hacking else you wouldn't do that :/I got upset with some higher admins and I /quit
|ABC| and I was cless for a short while. I applied to 
[FW], another gaymod clan, but they had a scrimteam that was at least (a bit) active. but then something happend..JOHN CAME BACK FROM THE POOLS OF INACTIVENESS >:D
That made my day and as
[FW] treated John like douchebags because John was "running traffic away" with his skills I left [FW] and joined John's awesome project called Damage Control.Damage Control then became a community, then a multigaming clan, ending up having a dev team for gary's mod aswell, while I (WT) run the ET section.
dC. wanting to get into comp, so I was recruiting.
But it seems in all those years, the ETpro scene still hasn't changed much. There are still guys that have bigger ego then aim. There are guys that say "yes I join you", play 2 maps and then join another team without saying anything.
Ofc you have the famous hax0rs that are everywhere, especially in some pubs as Cybergames :O
It felt good writing down my ET memories. Hope you like my gaymod expierences.

Together with John, I'll play ET till the day I die.
Got the 'standard 6maps' played that for a while, got my first clan aNI' (animals) at LAN, continued to play etpub etc with all the cool maps
Went onto a Jaymod clan {FE}, renamed =GHO= or something, then went to ETPro with
Joined sFx and played with the super cheating
Think I had more fun @ LANs though :{

Good memories idd, cu mates o/
In Mar 2004, one of the regulars on the server,
oChaos folded in August 2004, mainly due to the disparity in skill and ambitions that had developped between the four of us (pDok, slippy, spit and me) and the rest of the team. Within a month we'd joined up with
wDw folded in April 2005 - we had the best comms and teamplay I've ever seen in any team ever. Partly this may have been a reason for our demise - we were so focussed on keeping comms and teamplay perfect we stopped having fun.
After that I got what, I suppose, you could term my 'break' when I played in
I was pretty inactive for a year after that, a couple of attempts to revive a new oChaos lineup weren't greatly successful. This was the period, however, in which I ran my first LAN - QuakeCon 2005. I was also offered a CB supervisor position.
Then in May 2006 I attempted to build a new team with two of my good e-friends,
I hit on some amazing luck when I saw a post from
Unfortunately, after a few months, oChaos (#3) did fold, due to three main factors: I was about to head back to Uni for my final year, everyone in the team except Butch had offers from other EC clans (
Shortly after that came the first CPC, where I was made ET tournament head admin about half an hour after the event was meant to begin. Over the following two years I ran three more CPC/CDC tournaments and an ET tournament at the shgOpen LAN.
In 2007 I joined Polar, first as a general backup and tactical advisor and then as a full team member replacing
This year I played in
(It was m00, wasn't it?)
started scrimming ET early 2006 ever since then, pubbing is just to ego boost and flame for me... loved playing wars...
found this site late to early 2006/2007 thought to myself "MYSPACE FOR GEEKS!!!" didnt finally pluck up the courage to join here until 6 months ago :DDDDD now i cant get off it!
muchos love <3 (loekino especially)
man i hope there is some 24/7 northpole servers this christmas
I played on random publics for while then settled on the ET.com server and started hanging around with some ]KoT[ clan members, before I knew it I was trialing for them without really asking to and was asked to join after. A few month later the clan folded though.
I hung around for while then became inactive, then I joined a 'fun' clan called MCE we started to play competitively but the main clan split in two and soon after folded so I went inactive again.
All while I was learning to make custom maps and began the Battle of Wolken project. At first it was just public maps but then I foolishly decided to try make a competition map. When doing so some old people who knew back in ]KoT[ wanted to help and started the short lived #newmaps.et that tested new maps and brought you such treats as Bremen, Karsiah and to a lesser extent Wolken 1 my own map. Was only ever used for a single 3v3 open cup but the small success of the map prompted me to make Wolken 6 which failed to take off.
Other stuff inbetween include making maps for the powerball mod and joining the Eastern Front mod for a week and quickly leaving.
I then slowly stopped playing after getting into ET:QW closed beta and started making plans for mapping in this game also.
ET:QW after one year has been one big dissapointment both playing and mapping wise, lack of players means lack of interest in the maps I've made, here's hoping Wolfenstein is much better!
I was backed up by
In september 2006 we started to scrim seriously by entering the ETWars competition on 2.55 and surprising everyone by playing better then expected. But thanks to bad organisation we lost interest and dropped out later. We did play alot of scrim together with the awesome clan of F2K though. Finally around 2007/2008 we switched over to playing on 2.6b because we lot interesting in the worsening scene of 2.55 (more kiddies, no more fun etc). Our pub server had switched between pub mods and NQ, but now we ditched it for scrimming. This period had it good times and it's bad times, although we set an example for the 2.55 community, some following in our wake, while other good players had started in our ranks or been in them once.
On 2.6b we played together for around a year with some different Line Ups and people although the core usually stayed around the same. We lasted till june this year, after we finally gave up thanks to less motivation and no teamwork anymore.
At this time me and
