News
Roughly two years after the trailer the first movie featuring the greatest RTCW highlights and kills of the year 2002 is released. All frags are from official matches in the biggest european and american tournaments. The second part includes solely frags from Quakecon 2002.
In all honesty I haven't worked on this the whole two years due to problems with my computer and a lack of time, however the last two month I have invested a lot of time and finally finished it. Hope that you won't be disapointed.
Also apologies to those whose demos i have lost or have not used - big thank you anyway!

Please before watching the movie PLEASE make sure you have can decode x264 properly as otherwise you will experiance worse quality and desaturated colors. Easiest fix is following this tutorial.
On a sidenote: I still welcome demos for the next movie which is gonna feature the highlights of the further years of competitive RTCW.
this video is private
but the stream was still really good, nice movie twist :)
Great video twister and appreciate the hard work and effort over the many years of putting it together. All of the players in this movie and true old school professional gamers. Ahh the glory days... makes me want to play rtcw again =)... nah let it die!
fucking nice work dear =)
really nice movie, really shame thats rtcw is dead, i hope there will be something that will give us the same feeling, the shoutcasters are awesome :D
they mustve been awesome :/
You can get them on challenge-tv:

That was probably our concord gaming moment!
Btw, did you go trough all the demos yourself? If so, respect :D
edit : sry didn't read the full post , nvm :D
It's nice that someone has stolen my identity on crossfire (user EvilPurc), I have not visited this site for years. =) So if any admins happen to read this...help! =D
Oh well.
Both ffdshow and coreavc can't play it and I refuse to install utter shit such as the k-lite codec pack.
I heared of two others who seem to not be able to run the movie - really don't know what may be causing it since ffdshow encodes it just fine for me. Guess you will have to watch the stream and I will see if i can encode a xvid version.
mp4: no supported tracks found
and that messages comes from haali
and i installed everything as explained in the tutorial
edit: what ronner said :P
As I said to ronner, I will try to make a xvid version tomorrow.
I watched the stream. As far as vidquality goes, I don't think the latest x264 build would make much difference. You could've used a release before it that would play on vlc, ffdshow, coreavc etc easily and not have lesser quality.
the newest build wasn't supposed to be less compatible then the older ones but more compatible - guess i was wrong there :/ and the stream quality is much worse then the actual quality btw.
I miss Warwitch's shoutcasts... Two dynamite defuse? Epic. Similar to the nade defense of the tower at the end of Iratus.
I feel so newschool now, never played rtcw(only mp demo), what a shame.
but could have been another frenchy ;q
still playing minesweeper aka et?
as said everytime: ever seen a prog without bugs?
i didnt used anything :VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
cant laugh about it :/
be happy u have that small modelpimper,instead of that old chubby communism Chancellor like we have, and stfu :p :x
captured the atmosphere and the feeling of the game
did you actually spoke to the guys mentioned there? im kinda asking myself what most people from that era are doing these days
looking forward towards the next vid
edit: well to most is bullshit, like 40%
if you need any help hit me up
i like these type of nostalgic projects :P
Nice to see you're still alive...
Edit: Insomnia was thanked twice at the end!
edit: damn, maybe thanked him the second time in advance since he's supposed to make a newspost on clanbase
Great job !!!!!
I haven't really played RTCW. Was nice to see this movie.
Thanks!
we keep ourselves alive with game not even half as good as RTCW and yes i mean ET...
sadly, ppl really prefer when games are easy and flashy...
beside that iam happy that i have never had to play a ETmain like RTCW with timenudge and shit ... fuck you oldschool fagz.
- The graphics work was ok, but not amazing. Not that attractive. (Banners, console etc...)
- Some scenes ended a little early.
- To me it wasnt always clear whether you were switching madly between different competitions, or trying to do some sorta progression, bit to do with graphics not being that clear, or not great work introducing all the different tourneys.
- I didnt think you did enough to improve on the two well known EPIC moments. CIV_AMBUSH, and the iN defuse. Needed to build to these a bit more or something, thats what i was expecting.
- Maybe could of done with some sorta frag counter, since your were skiping graps in sprees, and it made it a bit hard to follow sometimes. (wom sprees i noticed mainly)
However as I said was still enjoyable, some of the stuff was nice for a first full movie.
I have "MP4 : no supported tracks found"..
CJM was shit. Explicit was ridiculously good.
post it on esreality also
gj
it's sad that we will never see games as good as RTCW, and tourneys like that quakecon to match it up :(
loved how at quakecon during shoutcast they used that alarm sound :D nice touch
compare pictures from 2002 award ceremony, people having fun, themed prizes
to latter ET quakecons, where it's all about bitches and guitar hero on stage
and to no existant ETQW-xbox quakecon...
gaming is going downhill (sorry for stating obvious)
and it's almost a copy of a game from 1999.
ETLive, WLive
or I buy xbox after ET is dead
Great movie!
watching
Awesome movie, thanks!!!
zivs* ;o
it's zivs, not zvis :D
RTCW > all game ever
most of the dominating players had played a FPS title before like Quake - but not all as this wasnt just the early days of RtCW it was the early days of gaming really ;) especially this style
just think about not playing online fps game and coming to ET within 6months going to a lan ;) you wouldnt be as good as you were 1/2years later ;)
Also I missed out back then it was hugely about teamplay rather than individuals ;) although a good team with good individuals always would do well (infensus for instance)
come on ;)
Was basically cheating.
Same as rich guys with 6800 GT(X) cards.
xxx
Also this movie wants me to like make a tournament "oldschool vs oldschool" but I guess its impossible to bring all the old teams back togther just for one tournament.
Nice movie, and I still weep a tear everytime I understand that I will never experience such a gameand community again! Its like you lost the love of your life ;)
I enjoyed it !! :)
maybe some kills are low
care
the game and his memories are just awesome
some names are missing, but meh. good stuff!
humm3l in disguise?! :O
Rewind <3
just realized, it's 7 years ago. I was 16 back then, and still playing it (wolfenstein series, not rtcw itself :<) lol
And yet it crashes all over the place.
I download movies in all kinds of formats every day and I *never* get problems. Except with your movie.
Don't get me wrong, I'm guessing this movie is epic, but please for the love of god, don't mess it up for people to make it unwatchable without the stream!
(this topic has enough people in it that can't play the file so it's not just me)
Downloading now!
Amazing job dude!
and warwitch his voice is just lovely
Everything was fresh and gave us a whole new experience. The same ET has done for so many. Thanks for bringing that time back. Even for these few mins.
Sometimes im still proud of this community :)
black bugs or ccs..4k.... once vs kih
great times, great clans, GREAT GAME..
R.I.P wolf
Very cool seeing all the old names again. Summ3l is looking very cool with his grey socks in sandals in the credits :D
Very very nice effort with this movie.
It strikes me how amazing it was to see an in-air kill, nowadays that's just all too common!
This made me want to play ET again :p
couldn't expect something better
Nowadays there are no games even close to as sophisticated or as fun RTCW.
Thank you twister and herme!!
I followed the exact steps for Vista and can't install the codec properly on Vista 64 Business... :/
If I install it, both classic and standard WMPlayer crash...
Good game.
I used to love crossfires on mp_base upper by jail, medic rushes across the courtyard on assault, sniper duels on assault, beach n ice,
Miss playing mass-player depot too, always thought it was a shame it was never played on osp.
what a nolgastic atmosphere
omg the old maps why they aren't played these days? :[
