What to you feel? Do you miss those clans? Did you play IN one of them?
Would you like to play without pronedelay? Just write something that comes to your mind if you check this list of old teams..

Parent
Played in S p a c e S (aka 141, j52, gods.inc) and played against most of them. Was a good time back then! :)
why isn't it a good time anymore, what has changed or is preventing the goodness of the past.
Parent
Back then, people actually laughed at cs players for playing in a game full of cheaters :)

Guess what's wrong now?
Parent
i think there were more cheaters in the past, people just weren't aware about it.
Parent
why CB changed "r_detailtextures 0" instead of "1 or 0"?
Parent
true, i know of a few "highskill" clans that tolerated cheats in those days :P
Parent
i don't really think that is the REAL reasons lol.

i'm laughing at a clown now rolfoahahahrhaohll

hello

Well back then everything was pretty new to us and we were so motivated. The competition was really good as well (I'm not saying teams were better back then, but games were more fun, atleast for me somehow). It's still a good time now (atleast when I'm playing with the mamuts) but the whole atmosphere has changed a lot. It's really hard to describe.

Eventhough you got tons of ETTV slots now, shoutcasts everywhere, and a new fragmovie coming every 2 days, I get the feeling that the games back then were more professional...somehow. You always had your admins on the servers, CB channels were filled in the afternoon already instead of 30 mins after the game starts. Those officials were always kinda special and a real event, especially because you didn't have so many ETTV broadcasted matches. You only had the top games between the best teams that made them really interesting.

Another thing is you never really had problems with suspicious people. If there were good aimers they were mostly smart and knew how to play as well. You accepted them as better aimers than you are. But nowadays you got some ppl that are even more dumb than a rock, they can't run straight forward but they got godlike aiming. I'm not saying those ppl hack or anything, it's just so strange if you compare it to back then.

Ah fuck that :[

YoYo FiF oldschoolers?

YoYoTech FiF oldskool? Naaaah
It's school, check my BETTER comment above!
Parent
dust.ee biggest laggers back then
the game just felt different the way it was played
prolly the biggest thing i miss is the activity now u play the same people over and over again
where is -=SVV=- mothafukas
no pronedelay +1
class upgrades +1
Id remove prone delay if i had it my way.


Also best clan their has to be roistot
They weren't that good anymore in their last months, which should be the time they went into hibernation. Few months earlier than we did I think.
Parent
I liked them more on individual players than perhaps as a team anyway. I was not good enough to be praccing against them, so only watched them on ETTV so can't really comment too much about skill drops. But i guess stopping at the right time can help preserve the team name lol
Parent
no pronedelay +1
class upgrades +1
Only oldschool high skilled teams, dissappointing.
personality team <3
i played there bitches!
would love to see braundorf being played again, prone is still useful tho, people dont expect it as much as they used to expect it few years ago :(
prone is evil weapon in delivery
Parent
.gs were the first top team I was a fan of :D
rofl personality sure owned back then :D
Attitude of the players changed.
So true. Back then only a few had bad manners (e.g. Saintt) and abused the internet to show off their leetness. Nowadays a normal conversation on a public contains more swearwords than... I don't know. \cg_teamchatsonly 1 is the cure, though.

Your tag was one of the few even uglier than waco² back then :D
Parent
:D long time no see btw:p
Parent
Playing mixes for the last few weeks but mixes without tax = fail anyway :p
And to biggest problem is ... i only play vs newschoolers it seems :-(
Parent
what's your skill nowadays?
Parent
What is "skill" nowadays :)
I know how to play ET and my aim is decent but didn't played a serious war since 1.5 year :)
Parent
played in reliably

reliably 9-0-0

haha newschool TAG, nice skillboost
I never played againts one of these teams, but i regularly watched ETTV coverages back then. As urtier said ETTV was something special and you had to put in some effort to get a slot sometimes. :) Was ETTV stable in 20005? I remember a time when either the gameserver or ETTV server crashed for whatever reason and everyone went beserk. :D

I'd even go back one step further when there was no ETTV at all, i used to "watch" IRC bots from games like poison vs ocr or pod vs helix.

Clan Booze developed a program called gamecast or something along those lines, i watched my first "pro" game using this, ocrana vs some other team on radar taking part in one of ingame's et-cups. Everything went fine for about 5 minutes, then the server crashed and i went back to IRC bots. :D
Played vs some of them was a great time.
Activity was much higher back then and top clans ware more "professional" way less dropouts at ec/prem and when i think about it in oc as a whole.

There was no cheaters and like some1 already mention it laughed at cs players for playing in a game full of cheaters.(ofc it wasnt 100% clean but it somehow was not a problem like today not even 5% of todays prob)

But lets face it this old game still rocks and not many of us back then ever thought it would last so long and its not dead yet!
played in image and skit ^^ oh the good old times..

missing it so bad..

and pronedelay is a good thing, pronin was lame :PP

and haha.. ppl say people's attitudes are changed.. people maybe be callin each others cheaters nowdays but what we experienced in image was pretty cool aswell.. i mean we were 3rd league oc skill - premier after but we pretty much rolled ec teams time to time and we're always either proners, spammers or luckers. I mean only because we won some clan we deserved all that flame they gave? and that only because were not known.. ppl are same whining idiots like they used to be years ago, no difference there
Pillars not on there! hate pronedelay! No pblags then!
Dont miss those clans, cause we allways lose against them : l
played against all except BiO and gs

and still play in personality team :p
i played for roistot :O)
The loss of motivation, like urtier said, is probably a major factor. Not THAT long ago, before pb fucked up, the ladders were still pretty active and it actually was fun trying to beat the competition, but after the last lan alot of clans went semi-active/hibernation. I can imagine the same thing happened back then, allthough I have never played ET actively untill i joined nfp.
now some seem to be getting active
Parent
too old school for me
yeah good old times when underscore actually won some teams :)
I am the only one from that team..
Parent
aaawwwwww
never heard of these clans except TAG
Back to top
