Wolfenstein No.2, but for how long?

image: j5dsw5

Just released in the States, Wolfenstein has taken a comfortable position as the best selling video games on both PC and console. A remarkable performance when one considers this latter market is usually dominated by Nintendo, with Wii Sports Resort at the number one spot and Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii at third and fourth position respectivly. A mere 2000 units seperate big N and Activision at this time, but one should keep in mind Wii Sports Resort is only sold on one console, wheras Wolfenstein is available on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Nevertheless when we only look at one gaming system at a time, Wolfenstein is the best sold game on all of them, the best sold game on every platform it supports.

New Yawn in the making?

With boozze member Belgium Sil working hard on getting Yawn! back up, PolandTrakos has begun betatesting his alternative, YAE - You Are Exposed. The site only supports Enemy Territory.

QuoteClosed beta is starting! on 16.08.2009
From now on yae is starting logging data! Everything is in the pre-beta stage so don't expect much :) The reason the beta is closed is because it is quite probable that still some serious errors are in the code and therefore instensive debugging output is enabled. That means that higher load could cause performance problems, and additionally finding anything in the output would became impossible. Therefore for now we need small load to test everything with it! But, fear not, we should expect opening quite soon!


Although the site is still beta it already has a nice collection of ips, etkeys and etproguids.So head over to YAE and give it a shot.

More news on both Yawn! and Yae coming to your intertubes soonish.

TAG + sYnck = sYnck.Scythe!

image: 6


The Estonian Counterstrike team nOu is no more. After two years of fighting under the banner of nOu, the team thought it was time for a new project. After some time of negotiating with the Estonian CS powerhouse sYnck, we've come to a final decision: nOu.Scythe is now known as sYnck.Scythe. The old CS team has been replaced and new sponsors will be announced soon.

With the new change also comes a complete overhaul. Everything that used to be named nOu.Scythe is now known as sYnck.Scythe, including our new IRC channel #sYnck. With Wolfenstein 2 hitting store shelves this summer, Synck.Scythe decided it was time to adopt an Enemy Territory team. TAG.et was founded in 2007 and has played at a high level ever since. Seeing their dedication and length of activity, we decided that they were an obvious choice. So without further ado I am hereby proud to present to the Wolfenstein community our new ET squad:

Netherlands Mathijs 'Lightning' Hoekstra
Netherlands Jay 'hayAa' Bonhof
Netherlands Harald 'Hope' Helder
Poland Kamil 'Krein' Maj
Estonia Mart 'Euruz' Madisso
United Kingdom Shaun 'med1xza' Harvey

FF kicked out of EC!

Over at Clanbase, EC admin Belgium Bartichello made this statement:

QuoteI believe everyone knows what this will be about. After allot of suspicion surounding this player we have reviewed the last two EC matches Poland Fear Factory X-Fi was active in. It has come to our attention that gnajda was cheating in both the match between overload and Fear Factory X-Fi and as well in the matchbetween Impact Gaming and Fear Factory X-Fi.

Therefore the loser bracket final will be replayed between United Kingdom Impact Gaming and Belgium overload to decide who will play Germany megaProGaming e-Sports e.V. in the grand final later on.
