Return to Castle Wolfenstein Anniversary cup 2012 !

RtCW Anniversary cup!
Ladies and gentlemen, it has been over a decade since the release of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The game that has inspired us all, the game that spawned Enemy Territory. The time has come to return one last time and fight for glory.

***GOAL OF THE CUP***

With this cup we want to give the game the celebration it deserves. The aim is to get the old schoolers back for a final blast and show the new kids what a team based game truly is about.
Add to that it will be one of the last chances to get your name written in the books of RtCW history!
The key word is fun, of course getting stabbed to death will still be humiliating and rusty skills need to be polished once more but sometimes it really is more important to participate than to win.
The cup also provides the ideal opportunity to fight against your heroes or your nemesis from the past. With confirmed teams like SwedenKnö I Horn and Hungary?cave we already see the return of two former Euro Cup teams and those who’ve been paying attention to the IRC channel might have noticed the return of some familiar old faces.

***SENSATIONAL COVERAGE***

It is with great proud and honor that we are able to tell you that it is non-other than the legendary shoutcaster
United States of America WarWitch himself taking the stage once more to tell you who killed who and which team is taking home the win. Time hasn’t stood still and where you once pressed your headphones to ears to hear every word he said, now you’ll be able to tune in to a live stream of WarWitch working his magic!

***DETAILS***

· YOU DON'T NEED A WORKING CDKEY FOR RTCW ANYMORE, USE THE ETKEY GENERATOR AND IT WORKS THE SAME AS A LEGIT RTCW KEY!

someone let me borrow a key?
· YOU DON'T NEED WORKING CDKEY FOR RTCW ANYMORE, USE ETKEY GENERATOR AND IT WORKS SAME AS LEGIT RTCW KEY!
Parent
Why even bothering with cd key altogether?

We've released patched binary for 1.4 years ago that removes key checks and works just fine with PB...since there's no point for legit keys due keygen what's the use bothering ppl to generate one and creating confusion...just use patched one and get over with it imho.
Parent
i just copied what the post said :( don't whine at me :D
Parent
:D Well wasn't really aiming at you, was just a general question :)

I mean, I could understand about players having restrictions and second thoughts with playing on cracked servers but with keygen now days that's pretty much the same with difference that people don't need to bother with keygen on cracked servers at all. PB still works just as fine as on any other server...it's just configured not to bother with keys...and if assitance is need it. I'll gladly help with it - not that's it's much work anyway.
Parent
I remember having the 1st cracked server, and I didn't get it from you.
Also it's easier to ban players having a non cracked server (back then).
And some hosts won't even allow cracked servers.

But yes, for the cup it would be handy.

I've got a 24 sl. cracked server, let me know if it's needed for the cup.
Parent
No, you got it from Richard. ;)

Cracked binary generally has nothing to do with hosters disallowing it, it's simply that one doesn't have the rights to upload executive binary since it's a security risk to allow someone to upload executive files...Most of hosters (ycn, noghost..), actually upload stuff for you if you ask and send files to them - so they can scan it before making it available for use.
Parent
comeback van eZbh?
Parent
nah :p geen zin meer om een team te leiden, zou ook niet lukken de skill verschillen van ons team (als ik al alle spelers trug kan krijgen) vgl met die van 1.4 die zullen signupen (meeste toch)
Parent
cool, gl with it :)

Thank you ZeD for all the effort you've put into this, I can't wait until it starts!
how many of those frags in the trailer were by you? :D
Parent
Hehe, from 0:21 to 0:41 are my frags.
Parent
(((((((((((((((((((:
I'm interested in playing this cup if anyone needs a player for their team. PM me here
Gl for the cup !!!

Will you also stream the cup? Would be awesome
Most certainly, we want to give the old schoolers a propper stage to perform at ;)!
Parent
please do, as i dont have the game it would be cool to have a way to watch this anyways
Parent
I would like to have WTV back ;)
Parent
the only surplus imo that wtv has is that you can chat with other players at the same time when watching the game. Always funny :D
Parent
If all goes as planned (still setting up) the covered games will be streamed through video via Twitch.tv or something very similar. There is still a lot to setup on my end before I can promise anything though. But that's the ultimate goal.
Parent
would be awesome mate!
Parent
I'm so in!!! Great effort guys! :)
Simply awesome, I'm really looking forward to the streams and to hear warwitch. Good luck to all the players and organisation.

Greetings soldiers and soldats!

It has been years since I last had the honor to set foot on the battlefield that is Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In fact, I hung up my microphone and took a long break from the world of shoutcasting after wrapping up a long and exuasting world tour in 2005. But lately, more and more, I've been feeling the urge to make a comeback. Shoutcast technology has really taken a leap forward and it's inspired me to make a grand return.

What better way to get started again then in the most legendary game of all time, RTCW!

I have a full checklist of things I need to accomplish before the Axis Shoutkasting War-machine is back up and running, but slow but sure I'm making preparations to rejoin all of you on the beaches of Normandy. It's an honor to be remembered by those who remain. I'll endeavor to bring exciting coverage to what will most certainly be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for all of us.

- Herr Warwitch (and ze Axis Goat)

P.S - Though nothing is yet confirmed, I'm hoping to bring some other shoutcaster personalities back from the past to assist me in this mission. We'll see how that all pans out in the coming days. Stay tuned!
nice to hear!
Parent
nice! What about justice?
Parent
I spoke to Justice and DeeAy this morning. They both seem very interested in helping cover this event. I would love to work with them again!
Parent
Really great to hear that! :)
Parent
All hail warwitch! This is gonna be amazing.
Parent
when i was 14 me and my brother were always listening/watching you together!

Thanks for all the epic games you shoutcasted!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su9Q9lHq34k
Parent
My pleasure! It was a lot of fun. Looking forward to picking up where I left off all those years ago.
Parent
who the fuck are you?
Parent
considering your status among shoutcasters I think you should definitely come back.. after the RTCW cup you should try the big eSports FPS titles nowadays, you always seemed to groove right into shooting games like you knew everything about it in your first time casting. :D

some new titles are CS:GO (Counter Strike: Global Offensive, very popular, probably will have very big tournaments). and the hyped up "ShootMania" - not sure how good it is but it's getting a lot of attention from all of those people who promote eSports games (all MGC organisations and leagues like ESL, etc).

also the Quake player/caster 2GD is creating a game called Reborn which will hopefully be the place for Quake Live, ET and other old gamers to migrate to ones these old games finally die. (which they haven't, as of yet!). seemingly it'll be using a similar engine (or at least similar physics) to RtCW, Quake 3, ET and so on. the kind of fast movement that we all like in comparison to your Call of Duty's etc.

looks like you'd be all set if you decide to start professional casting again!
Parent
I've been a caster without a game for a long time now. Getting my feet wet again in the world of RTCW just seems like the right thing to do. From there, only time will tell. I do appreciate the recommendations though! I'll keep my eyes open to some of those titles. I'm sure the chips will all fall into place one way or another.

Parent

Parent
Hello - looks interesting.

(wasn't the anniversary last September?)
Trying to get some chaps together to play this, wanna join? Curbs and I are in, I'm sure Merl will be too when he comes back from the dead. Then we just need to add a panzer and a rtcw god like hoontah and we'll have the perfect team to pound Sipperi all the way back to his Delta roots
Parent
Awesome :)
looks great!
avi, no skill

ughh... bloody ECGN, such a shame it's pretty much the only active pub left in rtcw...
You could perhaps try the allstars server (88.198.85.196:27960) people usually start joining that in the evening.
Another idea is to try to get the dFw server (88.198.85.196:27103) active, which is running osp rather than shrub.
Just slap some people on rtcw.wars and I'm sure you can get some activity going on there :).
Parent
what about another pub server like the xmas pub server? since activity will rise due to cup announcement, it could be a nice idea no? :D
Parent
Just found out we have 2 pub servers, besides dFw there's also Retro-eSports.com RtCW OSP ( 188.165.222.149:27000 ), this server might actually be better than dFw because it doesn't restrict mapoverbrightbits to 2 and picmip to 1.
Parent
We've put just yesterday a pub osp server up. It was meant more for internal use but we're flexible and can easily reconfigure it (or put another one up if need it) to be more pub friendly. So if any suggestions, feel free... :)
Parent
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for providing a new pub server! :)
Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with server configs, but I can most likely arrange for someone to upload a good server config for you.
Have you got the ip to your server btw? I can check if it's conflicting with some basic settings at least.

greets and thank you :)
Parent
IP: 91.203.213.241:27968

It's running also few custom maps as we mostly put it up for duels when we're bored, but feel free to use and abuse it. :) If any suggestions pm me and I can reconfigure it if need it.

P.S. To avoid bothering with what server is up and crowded you can use live server list - goes directly to master server so it's always actual and up to date, as well as for 1.0 and 1.4 versions.

1.0

This.. is so awesome!

Nappie and I are trying to bring the gAim.boys back together for some old school rtcw action! v57 !!!1
Spent some time today working with ZeD. With his help I got RtCW up and running again. Going through my checklists of things to do and everything is looking good. In the coming days I'll be working on getting Xsplit up and purring like a kitten (or a goat).

More updates as available. I'm excited about covering this event. It was a real treat hopping back in game for the first time in years. It felt like some kind of crazy time warp!
Great to see you're so involved and motivated to do this, the cup will be a blast for sure :).
Parent
Hah! That's awesome that you found that online. Good times, good find :)
Parent
@ dusty... lovej always deliveres!

nice to see gAim is trying to get a team together and same goes for the bierzuiperzzzzzz (boozze/bzz clan)!

What's the schedule?
just watched some old clan movies, those were such good times.
Hmm, good to see some old friends back like BooZZe clan!

Don't think FDNL can get its old team back on a decend level to participate in the cup.
Pasmanni ;)

good to see you here, pik! Get FieTser, and Rog to play! there are more then enough noob clans to play against m8! And also enough people who are looking for a clan!
Parent
lol its not about playing decend... its for the fun! sdi (sterk door inzet) sux too since its all people in their 30/40's with kids and they didnt play the game for over 4/5 years! just get your team together and play us sometime and you will see :)!
I've added a few of the alive Osp servers to the Popular Live Server List.
More updates:

A lot of the old TsN shoutcasters are rallying around me to make a (pardon the pun) return to Castle Wolfenstein. I'm pretty excited because I haven't worked with these people in years: DeeAy, Justice, Chadman and Boomerman to name a few.

In other news:

Was having serious internet issues. Those problems are now solved. I should be getting xsplit setup here in the next few days.

P.S - I'm really rusty when it comes to the game and Wolf. Be kind :)
very nice news :D so exciting gl in your re-meeting!!
Parent
How do I get involved?

Can someone organise a night to have an active pub?
join mirc #rtcw.wars 6v6 mixes going on every day

Parent
Baz you party animal! You still hang around these parts eh, will have to pop in and say hello.
Parent
My Twitch channel is up and running, though there is no content on it (yet): http://www.twitch.tv/WarwitchTV

I encourage everyone to get an early start and follow me there! It'll be from here that the action will play out live with some of the finest shoutcasters in RtCW history joining me onair for all the chaos and action.

It took ZeD and I a few days to work out the settings for XSplit, and while not perfect, I think the video quality will be good enough to satisfy everyone. We really pushed the limitations of my computer.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the field soon!
woohoo... this is gonna be good gabe...... been a long time since i been on the crossfire... had to create a new account heh.... email me the stuff for xsplit.

can't wait... and to all the old school rtcw guys..... the TsN bar-steward say's hi :)
Parent
YAY managed to get my old username back :) now to see if i can take the TsN bit off :)
I don't know. Keep it! It's very retro :)
Parent
