I played ET for 2 years(2003. - 2005.) on: Pentium III 1.2 ghz, 128mb ram and gefore 2 mx400 on 56k modem. So imagine how hard are my nervs or do I still have them. I can't even count how many times I had "Connection Interrupted" on my screen or how many times I wanted to bust my monitor and just cry:))
hmm well I had 3/45 the first time I played ET, i really dident cared about my deaths only i got excited when I killed someone with panzer. i use to ask my m8 why i cant run when im having panzer my pc has issues.
medic on goldrush in winter 04/05
just run around as allie at first allies spawn and didnt have a clue what to do (i think there was only on other one the server, maybe 2 or 3)
First time i played ET, went allies.. soldier smg as i didnt know how to select classes :P We were playing goldrush and i didn't have a fucking clue where to go, the map felt so much bigger at that time too :P
at the beginning i was wondering about all player who were faster than me.. :( i was so slow.. (tried to walk fast with pf :D) didnt know i have to switch the weapon ^^
Playing Battery on a LAN game with some friends (only 3-4) from Uni. Didn't really work with that small number as a fun game on LAN, so we went back to playing CS. I didn't touch ET again for another 6 months, when I got bored and hit the AIA server.
2004 at a school LAN, I followed my friend around Oasis and he kept calling me a retarded noob because it was my first ever FPS and I was having difficulty adjusting to WSAD and I ended up changing to arrow keys
2004 - connected to ETTV serv (didnt know what it was) and got extreamly pissed that i couldnt join -if i remember it correctly it was dignitas vs. some team.
with default config. on battery i was fops and discovered how i can kill all with a support fire. I said to my friends : nice I can call airplanes and them throw some explosives :DDDDDDD
2003, watched a program on Sky1 called Gamesville. Got the game, loaded it up. First map was Goldrush, got owned but kept on playing. Met the Tibet guys, got in their clan. Then joined AiA > GiB > Xytogen and bang! im a fucking pro
I asked spNk for a free FPS game, first time I connected to a server, I didn't know what to do, I was spec and could see other people playing, but didn't even know that there was a limbo menu :DD So well, disconnected, few days later I asked him if there was an option to actually play the game :P
You're no geek! A true geek would've pressed every button on the keyboard to see what happened and found the limbo menu that way. It's the first thing I do when I play a new game ;)
hhmhmphm.. 2004? at my friend's place. We were playing fueldump as covertops! camping in the water tower or something similar. 2005 installed it myself at home and first map I played was oasis as allies smg soldier 8D. It was fucking confusing in the beginning :D
A lan in 2003. The full game had just been released. Some guy wanted to play fueldump but blaze had already played it in the beta, he wanted to play goldrush instead. I played engineer. Cant remember much more.
Little did I know that few years later I would become the greatest et-player in the history.
( on my own )baserace 24/7 GamesMajor 2.55 servers my old pc wouldnt handle any other map =DDD
- first happyness, working out that i can strike spawn on baserace from the bottom of the ladder. nice 9 man kill
my first try was on some random public as axis on goldrush. my class was soldier with smg (of course) and I remember getting raped around the first spawn exit / under the bridge on last stage of the map :D
1. rtcw -> single and multiplayer
2. et -> at friend pc
3. et -> at my pc @ 2.55 mexican etpub server (ping ca. 250) for 1 year xD (first map was fueldump I got owned by .[SiN]. Member)
4. and so on^^ .....
btw I remember the old et times @ my friends pc: the pros played 2.55 and I remember a noob war taktik @ supply with flamer near controls :D
it was in June, just after summer vacation ended. ET had it first anniversary, and I read about it in CDaction ( :DD polish computer games magazine ) dloaded it,
axis medic at oasis if I remember right. But my first time was not on my better computer ( I shared it with bro, and it was taken at that time ) so I wasn't very impressd with the game as it was stuttering ;)
But it didn't take long to get addicted to it after trying on better computer.
5 years ago. Played at a friends house ( Ness). We we're playing Railgun and I was amazed that he could actually tell the difference between the axis and allies players.
Since et was my first fps I really had to start from scratch -__-" I don't remember much though.
I know that it took me months to discover the sprint key lolz.
I also didn't know etpro jaymod etmain etpub etc., I just connected to a random server in et's serverbrowser.. I also tried to save my favorites on it but it never worked...
I didn't know there existed things like custom configs and scripts & stuff. And I was so fucking happy when I joined my first clan...
I guess I was just an innocent newbie that seemed to have discovered a whole new world ;o.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it took me ages to figure out who were my teammates & who were not xD
was at friends house, remember playing on fueldump and not knowing what it meant when i ran out of charge with rnade, thought it was my gun jamming xDDD
In a mates, while they were playing, i personally thought it looked annoying, and hated the "need a medic", but then i downloaded, since its free, had some openGL probs, fixed that. Started playing on Qubenet 03 middleearth server. As field ops. I remember phoning my mate and asking "How do i make rockets come from the sky", he casualy replied with "Click the mouse" :D. Was fun back then though.
Running around as allied soldier on oasis without a clue was not funny. :-(
But votekicking the panzerfaust from your team, spamming "HES AFK" just to get the panzerfaust, was!
My father introduced the game, started playing with tornis untill his father didn't let him play anymore :D
I think my father regret when he realized how many hour's i spent on the game xD
But nowadays he doesnt care untill he figured it out that i've spent money on the game :| (no cheats)... on configs etc.
guess it was on some random servers, just playing with rifle without knowing about the grenades, complaining about getting tk'd after walking on teammates mines and shooting them :> wish i'd remember the exactly first moment :p
still remember downloading the game tho, back to 2004/5 when i found it from some finnish site where you could get free games.. i was going to download duke 3D with my 56K modem, and even thought that ET was duke.. i was so dissapointed when it turned out to be something rly different ;< at first..
can't remember exactly, but I remember a time I was playing on my friend's comp and we just planted dynos @ ammo cab in battery and defused them immediately after. got xp :---D
playing with friends on public via Skype :D
got banned from my fav server cause I spammed that people should leave the server because it has a virus, so that my friends could connect :<
switching from rtcw made me play with low fps, but with good aim, compared to others. I didn't have problems in getting "highest fragger" and "highest XP" awards on ET beta pubs.
running around on oasis with medic (my rl friend told me how to switch classes) and there was a guy waiting for medic, didnt know how to take syringe, started writing "sorry dunno how to revive" and I got killed while doing that. good old times.
I was looking for some hardcore beats for my newest album, when I google'd 'hardcore beats' and came across the mQ vs eZ EC qualifier war, probably one of the most brutal beats any 'fairly' decent team has ever endured from a team that later on got raged in EC but managed to win because their team leader, Wesbo, asked his friends to ping all the eZ players during the match so they would lag out and have to constantly replace players, pause, and get players on full. Wesbo did this because he realized he was really bad in ET and he really wanted to play EC otherwise he would go mental on Ventrilo, so his buddy mishaverheul helped him out by making sure at least half of the eZ team lagged out constantly. Oh yeah, this was totally Wesbo's idea, you know Wesbo right, that good ol' Wesbo, the friendly guy, who never did anything wrong. Well, perhaps except for this minor feat then, but hey, he's still friendly old Wesbo right? RIGHT?
Got the game through my sisters friend... he explained engie to me how to use pliers.... it was a server without mine restriction i can remember... i planted mines all over the place like hundreds, everyone started calling me noob but i thought i was ownage cuz i killed a lot of people <3
Playing on some Jaymod server, map was Caen_2.. had no idea what to do. In stead of getting owned I just played medic with shotgun and let everyone else move in front and revive them :d
and with a new computer i managed to do a 5men airstrike, unfortunately all of them were my teammates
edit: you took picture away :<<
geforce <3
great fun :)
realised later i'd been running over his mines ;DDD
good way to start ;DDDDDDDDd
<3 [flag=de dgc]
32 slots was perfect btw. not too big, not too small.
got addicted in 1st frag :D
2.55 =D
just run around as allie at first allies spawn and didnt have a clue what to do (i think there was only on other one the server, maybe 2 or 3)
some things just never change I guess, right sean
Fuck off.
at the beginning i was wondering about all player who were faster than me.. :( i was so slow.. (tried to walk fast with pf :D) didnt know i have to switch the weapon ^^
*edit
Oasis Field op at my friend, because my computer couldnt run ET. Played RTCW at home
Those were the days... I still get raped, but now I have much more pride than i had then :(
but im talking even before them !
Was pure win!
got kicked, because i changed my name through the limbo menu, but yeah, it was fun :O
4 years ago (almost)
Organised Chaos (formed from the AIA server regulars on their forum) was originally AiA for 2 weeks before we came up with a new clanname.
Little did I know that few years later I would become the greatest et-player in the history.

The map I played was Radar and I was in spectator mode for like 5mins before asking my dad why I can't do anything like shoot and other people can.
He chose Axis for me and I began to play, after that it was Railgun, oh my god were those days fun on my 1.7ghz Athlon 512mb Geforce 440mx were.
REMEMBER THE DAY LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
