my sisters boyfriend showed me, and i didnt knew how to shoot because i was spec :<
same for me :)
Parent
Hahaha same, I was like wow I'm going really fast.... my dad had to come in and show me. He was like press l for limbo menu, he did it and chose soldier class. I played like that for a week :D. (rtcw) that is
Parent
kid in the background introduced me to the game one time we were smoking up, and he made it sound all crazy and shit. I ended up trying out the game on some 2.55 publics and tbh it was my first shooter so I was pretty fascinated :D Played pub for like a year and then a kid (Speci aka Gomer Pyle) from my pubclan showed me to .6b and I got hooked on competitive.

EDIT: No, that's not me in the foreground =.=
Parent
:D was gonna say man xD
Parent
I'm not some crazy smoker/drug addict =(
Parent
good for u man! smoking and drugs is bad :/
Parent
if my memory serves me right I read about the game from a finnish gaming site, peliplaneetta.net, on summer 2003 and got hooked right away :D
once ur hooked u aint gettin away ;d
Parent
haha,newschool nerd!
Parent
ah lol :D

summer 2003 instead of 2004 of course!
Parent
well my little cousin (now known as bizzy) introduced me to this game.

named myself bizzy but when i renamed to mlo he fucking stole the bizzy :D

playing for 5 years now i guess.
My father.

I think he saw some advertisement when it was released and he told me to test it because it was for free etc :)
me and a mate were looking for a free fps and so we downloaded ET thats it
Netherlands spree

december '03
devil himself
guy i went to school with for 5 years, told me all about the game... i was like yeah ok lets go back and do it.

6 months later i made a .55 clan, bought a server and then kicked him from the clan for admin abuse.
totally pro to kick a real life best friend from a clan for admin abuse. he was going fuckin crazy with the et admin mod.

had to be done.
Parent
;D did he say smth to u irl?
Parent
if he did i would have bashed him. simple.

but yeah he never spoke to me again
Parent
hah really funny.
Parent
the bashing him thing was a joke.. but at the time. its .55, its 2004 im 14... super serious business.


i rented the server for about a year and a half out of my savings for my car and stuff for when i hit 17. oops

still everything turned out ok.
Parent
a TV show and a community forum (not this one)
a friend played it, 3 years back or smth

few weeks back I mentioned I still play it after 3 years and he was like zOMFGGG?!@?!
friend @ my mom's restaurant :)
watched my brother playing some pub,
my irl friend @ 2003, I was playing football and medal of honor with him :D!

he started ET so I gave it a try. at start I didn't like ET at all, but when I made my own clan at start of 2004 since then ET has been great!
map: battery @ friends house with ISDN! 64k connection
yeah :D-D

it was 2004? like when ET was really new new new, or 2003 even
Downloaded et by accident, was meant to download rtcw, ended up downloading both then stuck with et
a guy who I played diablo 2 with :P
once he said he's not playing d2 anymore because it sux compared to ET and i should try it, so i gave it a try ;P september 2004
wolfenstein multiplayer 2
Netherlands Ness showed me like 7 years ago.
My neighbor showed me like 5 years ago
best friend (tieQ) showed it me 4-5 years ago
my brother was it who played rtcw and showed me "there is a new game"
wolfenstein mutliplayer 2 xD
so that's why you've been banned from watching the TV??? :o
Parent
yes, tv makes people do bad BAD things
Parent
but i thought TV is supposed to be educational?
Parent
you ever watched german tv? :D
Parent
happened to watch the movie called "Three Kings" on a german tv channel, and it was dubbed. There's one part where they play an ice cube song, and even that was dubbed into german :D i lol'd pretty hard :D so what's wrong with german tv? :DD
Parent
yea that dubbing is kinda retarded... pretty much everything about german tv is monsterfail
Parent
that's what they want you to think, it's a conspiracy i tell you!

Parent
hahaha SHOCKING :DDD
Parent
a thing i just noticed, when you've replied to someone, the "PM | Reply" thingy doesn't align with the ones that have just been posted without replying to someone, or has that been like that for long? O_o or is that just my browrser going mad?
Parent
thats normal, isnt it? always been like that for me, I think
Parent
maybe, that's why i was asking, cause i sort of noticed it like now :D:D
Parent
took you only 4 years, how awesome you are :D
Parent
i don't pay attention to small & worthless details!!!


ok, i actually have the attention span of a goldfish :_(
Parent
awwwww don't be sad :`(
Parent
because its my destiny
Some belgian guy named laurens, lives in west-vlaanderen, never seen him since. I probably would have quit but i met fazz waki buggs snuble and detai aka jetro ( rl friend ) started playing aswell so well, just had such a good time on fueldump i couldn't leave :)
friend of mine installed it on my pc and he introduced me into a clan
Mate, summer of 2004 ;o
somehow i got rtcw,i think my friend showed it to me,then i played some rtcw pub where u run around with rifle and if u hit ur enemy atleast once his body kinda explodes and he drops gold,then my classmate was like dl ET rtcw is shit compared to ET started playing in random pub at first,then [NMA*]jaymod serv and i was addicted to it :D
This website.
I guess Gero or Jere. Or was it Pr!nz aka de zwetzak? Can't remember. I quit some months ago, so who cares :-)
I guess Gero got Prinz into ET. Then Prinz got me into it. Dno bout you :D
Parent
I do remember I was better than you in the beginning. Hm, let's say I'm still better than you? :D
Parent
cya team be :))
Parent
Do you know why Belgium hardly ever wins at the Eurosong Festival?
Parent

Parent
Vriendjespolitiiiiiiek.
Parent
specced my brother from time to time and eventually ended up pwning him :[
wish i had a bro that played ET actively :<
Parent
was my ex-roommate back then. played pub->met some crazy norwegians-> started playing wars->met gungy, iiky, andy etc. :P
I saw something on a forum about a free game so it got my interest and I tried it. I played it a little on 56k internet with 300ping (on a good day ://). Shortly after getting ADSL, I saw some guy owning on a public even though he was probably only med skill, but back then seemed godlike to me and I wanted to learn. He along with other members of his team helped to teach me the basics like strafe jumping and it went from there.
ye i remember having a seriously shit ping most of the time aswell with around 30 fps ;/

After i joined my first clan -=UK=- i also saw some guys owning on our server and wanted to play more and then the clan started .55 pro mod and then eventually to .6b :)
Parent
Heh yeah I remember Radar back then, it was a nightmare on east with all the grass, 13fps at worst around there I recall, with 40 or so on average. When I finally got a new graphics card, they removed grass from the CB config anyway!
Parent
f3mm3 (one of the top TRICKJUMPERS these days) a mate of mine told me I should install it and so I did
played it at my best friends house and hated it in the beginning,

than downloaded on my rly old pc and sucked and stopped after 2 weeks

than got a new laptop for my birthday, reinstalled it and just stopped playing it a year ago (played 3 years or so maybe bit more)
i was touched by hand of God... He my TV turned on in the middle of night and i saw mAx fragmovie... and God said: "Go and dll it, and play it, because its so shit and got so fucked up commonity that u will fit perfectly"

my brother
ive specced my brother in 2004 or 2005 was behind him thought this game is very ugly and boring in 2006 ive started it and it was awesome ... oh sry, it IS awesome^^
IRL friend who I played RTCW with showed me the demo of ET one day. Much later in feb 2004 I finaly got a working DSL and was able to play online (999 with dialup and other DSL).

I still remeber the moment I got 100xp in 1 map (FuelDump)!!! That was awesome!

A friend from school
Sweden Ti+es brought me to the game in january '09
my classmate in 2003 i guess. I played hardcore on publics for one week and had the highest xp after six map, that was pro. and in 3 months or so i was better than my classmate who had played in teams and shit ! :D

school went downhill during that time though :P
was sick of cs and liked rtcw so i chose to play this...was when ET got released
started on rtcw, my brother received the game from a friend, I started to play pubs and after some months, ET came out and then I played ET (fueldump was awesome)!
