After many rounds the #cod4invite.fr Cup Final is almost set. Almost because before the final is played out the Semi-Finals will take place, nothing like last minute!

redline 3-13 yourMGC/oXmoze

redline who were seeded 5th in this tournament have knocked out the top ranked H2K.TT 13-8 on Vacant in the semi-finals which makes them a team to be noticed. They will have the chance to prepare themselves for tonights match while their opposition have to fight it out only an hour before. Whether thats good or bad is up for debate.

yourMGC / oXmoze are seeded 3rd and 2nd respectively so either team could make it through to the finals. Both teams have had a fairly clear run to the finals with yourMGC knocking out pleasure and oXmoze knocking out D-Sky in the quarter-finals. With the teams having to play just before the final there won't be a lot of time to prepare themselves and may be a little drained. On the flip side they will be warmed up and confident after a win, so as I said, it really is debatable who is better off.

Join us tonight for live video coverage on QuadV TV1 with Deman.

This update fixes some major issues that popped up in 0.55a.

The main issues I was trying to fix / smoothen out:
TV was crashing on connect
Vehicle management, vehicles wont spawn into the map anymore, if they are not allowed
Headshots only mod
Demo recording
End of round screenshots
better useability (menu to adjust your ingame settings)
Weapon model tweaks (thanks to pie)
GPMG spread
Cvar to show headshot hitboxes when cheats enabled
Our scripts will work now also on custom maps!

Serveradmins, be sure to adjust your server configs! The es_allowvehicles cvar has changed. More Information about this can be found in the changelog and wiki!

We highly recommend updating your servers, also be sure to give any bugreport and feedback in our forums at ETQWPro Forums

Also Linux server admins, please give feedback about any server crashes, the binaries got compiled in a slightly diffrent way this time!

Enemy Territory 5 Years Anniversary!

"Enemy Territory, was originally planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to the popular FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein. However, due to problems with the single-player aspect, the multiplayer portion was released on May 29, 2003 as a freeware standalone game."

Finally I can only say that it was a great project which got alot input and brought the feeling of ET being alive back to me and I hope that the map will get accepted in upcoming competitions, but already the poll on the right looks very promising!

As a sidenote I would love to see some people joining #et-domination , as the channel for the W:ET Domination Mod, which I'll try to get back alive in the nearer future!

Have a nice day,
eiM & Snake & jump3r
