olBaa joins Team Dignitas

image: profile_olbaaAfter coming back from the Antwerp Esports Festival our Enemy Territory lineup took a well deserved break, as kARnAJ went on holiday and sQUALL decided to go inactive as he can't put up the necessary time needed for the team. After careful consideration they have now found the suitable replacement in one of Finland's finest.


Joining our ranks is Oula 'olBaa' Räsänen who comes from the Fintastic 5 lineup. We are confident that he can help the team maintain their winning streak both online and offline. As mentioned this means that sQUALL will take an inactive role in the lineup.

Team Dignitas ET is:

Hendrik-William 'Anderson' Kinks
Jaka 'JaKaZc' Kejzar
Sebastian 'drago' Ohrmann
Travaillé 'kARnAJ' Hugo
Oula 'olBaa' Räsänen
Taneli 'sQUALL' Härkönen (inactive)

Wolfenstein SP Demo Released

It might be a bit on the late side, but it appears that Activision have finally released the promised Wolfenstein Demo. Even though the game has been released for over a month, the release of this demo can show people that the singleplayer lives up to its expectations, regardless of how the multiplayer feels.

As mentioned above, the demo is a Singleplayer demo and allows you to play a few missions with B.J. Blazkowicz, together with some AI controled teammates. You can find a download mirror below.

Have fun.

Q&A with Drago: Enemy Territory.

image: qandadrago

Our German Wolfenstein player Germany Sebastian 'Drago' Ohrmann has quite a history as an Enemy Territory player, being amongst the finest players of the game. That is why he decided to treat the Wolfenstein: ET community on an opportunity to ask him anything they wanted, as long as it was game related. The result was a very informative article which shows a lot of ingame tricks and tactical positions to the readers.

Article: Q&A with Drago: Enemy Territory

Here's a preview:

QuoteQ: How would you attack first stage Supply against a better team? (Nellie)

Drago: Supplys first stage defence is alot about the "flow". Axis will set up crossfire, then commence to push out and selfkill. A proper artillery will be in place to keep you from pushing in at this moment and most likely some Axis player will be still alive, delaying you just enough for his reinforcements to arrive. There are several ways to break through such a defence, I will explain two for now.

1) Use explosives. This might appear random, but can actually be pretty consistent. The most popular way to do this is the Rifle on the main street, shooting either the window, behind the barrels or in a doorway. A panzer on top, shooting in the upper or lower doorframe. An engineer from cave, spamming nades to the upper level or into the lower doors.

2) Suppressing fire and revive rushing. The approach seems similiar, an engineer spamming the upper level with nades and a rifle shooting either the upper window or lower barrels. This is best achieved by having three medics on top, trying to push through. If the enemy rifle player prefers to play up, it is vital to kill him. The most common position is the leaning spot on the upper left, your rifle player should always shoot there prior to your rushing. It was also popular to have a smoke grenade at either the upper or lower entrance to block the Axis players sight, however I have never tried that out and am not to fond of it.
