Parent

Parent

talkin about ur girl right ?

Parent

no. Just joking man :) Thank god i actually love my gf way more than some pc game lol

Parent

"then didnt touched it in like 1,5 years until i finally realized that she is the love of my life. " I was talking about that part of the sentence actually :D

Parent

You can actually use the word "she" instead of "it" when you talk about something that is emotionally connected to you. :D That's why he typed she and not it :D

Parent

Well.. Yeah, i know how english goes :p
But in french, when i translated it.. It sounds weird. Nevermind, i'm in my own world sometimes :D

Parent

:D

Parent

Well I was studying at my brother's place and he was playing Enemy Territory. I was like woooh i need to play it!

Friend showed me the demo at the youth centre 'back in the day' and I got hooked. Installed it on all the machines and got a few LAN going from there on, including my first 3v3 team :PPP

swat3 -> rtcw -> et !

A friend told me and then im addicted for like 4 years, gg :D

anyone else find out about it through a tv show called 'Gamezville'? :D

Yep! Sky1

Parent

:DDD what a program!

Parent

mate told me about rtcw, then went onto ET

Cause of hax nub

Parent

:D

Parent

uncle google :-)

kinda got into gaming whenever i was at a friends place.
He had a CS team and some teammember of him recommended him to try ET.
We started pubbing, he on his pc and i on his laptop :P
was my first game and still i love it

q3 -> rtcw beta 1 & 2 -> rtcw -> ET

Came free with a magazine :D

ET free? wat :D

Parent

oh i got trolled by the poll :D

Parent

friend of my older brother showed me rtcw, i had no pc at that time but was planning to buy one, took me a month to buy it and then the demo got released so i played the demo straight away :) no rtcw tho :< only from his place ^.^

Used to have a P2 300mhz with 2MB video, bought a Duron 1600 for like 10e and a classmate gave me a free GF2, so I asked for a free shooter in some irc channel, spNk came up with ET. Few weeks later I found out that the classmate was playing ET for a few months already :>

friend told me. then i told Taz (and Kuha). then we founded KRP. then history was very much made. ::)

I saw my friend playing it and then decided to try it out aswell. Grew out to addiction

A friend told me, he stopped after 5 months, I play since 3 years :D

friend showed me during a summer holiday at some point, i ended up sitting inside playing ET on his trackerball mouse 80% of the time:D

first heard about it in a magazine when they announced some beta or something, played the fueldump demo but installed the final ET from a CD that came with a collectors edition of PCPlay magazine #50 in july 2003

mate gave me the demo when it was released and tolled me to give it a try

downloaded it from Germany

chip.de (free multiplayer games section) right after i got DSL first (end of 2004)... playin it since then

it was and will always be my only online multiplayer game, not going to start anything else.

Parent

my classmates ( Bulgaria

nax and

Phoebe) told me

back in 2k7 two of my friends showed it to me and I didn't like it, at all :D after around 6 months I realized that it's fucking awesome game and I got addicted to it

Downloaded it from Jonneweb.net back in 2004 or so.

Was playing Gunz back in the days, when someone of the boarding charge (google translate ftw) told me about ET. Started to play it and loved it. ^.^

It's not the game we ALL love. It came on a cd with a collectors edition of RtCW.

Love to play, not plain & simple love ; )

I rarely play it, but when I do, I enjoy it.

Parent

Played rtcw before

Weee had a Macbook in past. As you know there aren't/weren't much good games for a Mac.
So i wanted to find some shooter for it, found one..

It was ET, free shooter.. on a Mac.. which my Macbook could run with that shitty 64Mb onboard graphix.. :)
Played it -> Liked it.

But ye nowadays i play on Windows.

Since my friend told me about this game i have been so addicted for et :) I will not never quit ET because once you play it and you will be forever addicted for it :PP LONG LIVE ENEMY TERRITORY!

Friend told me about it, and while he quit shortly after, I kept playing.

I was downloading random games too see what games could work on my really shitty computer and I finally found one that worked :D

after a friend introduced me to it in 2003, we both played the ET demo which was FUELDUMP ONLY :D

Brother :)

?

Parent

my brother United Kingdom

Potty introduced me to the game

started playing cuz some friends played it. ev0ken'Xi / Xai and ev0ken'Niley

same 2 guys that later got me playing wow!

I had just installed windows vista, so the first thing I did was open the webbrowser and search for a downgrade for the .NET Framework 3.0 version. The built-in antivirus ofc screamed some random characters. So I googled them with my google chrome, and then within the first 200 hits it gave me a link to the CC6 picture page. Sounded cool so I clicked and saw some cool dudes playing a game that looked really cool like a combination of counter strike:source, Brink and fallout: new vegas. 34 minutes after that I had it installed with a tool called Ultimate Master Installer Eminem Terrory or something and then I played for a couple of hours but died by explosions and crap and then I decided it was not as cool as I first thought. The end.

Parent

dad played it on buplic!

Probably my brother showed me.

Seen it on GIGA Games when it got released.

played RtCW before, and i think it should be revived although ET is still great... but nothing comparable with RtCW :(

other my brother told me about it

mate told me after 3months i owned him :) now playing until the end, 2005

my uncle bought rtcw when it got released, played it with my cousin there and bought my own copy shortly after that to play with him. First few times I played rtcw were family lans rofl :D

my dad came home with RTCW, played that for a few years with me having a go every now and then, and eventually starting a clan. The forums were talking about a new "mod" called ET, so we tried it and ive palyed since

Had heard and played RtCW (demo only) before this and was like "'nice game".
Was lurking in a forum when someone mentioned this game. I asked him "whats the name of the free game?". He told me that name and then i asked for download link. At that time, i was impressed by bf2's ranking/XP system which i found in this game. I downloaded, played....and m in love with it since then.

The true story is from Feb '08. It in-fact is my very first First Person Shooter game that i actually liked. Before this, i was only playing sports, racing, and some tycoon genre games.

ET <3 forever!

I used to play RTCW (demo) with around 20 mates @ my school. Beach 24/7! Then we switched to MoH:AA and then I changed schools, but one of those 20 mates told me there is a new free version of RTCW and that he's making a clan and it would be cool if I joined. So I downloaded ET but got a blue screen after installing, so I dropped it for a month before I tried to install it again. And I was like, totally different then RTCW but hey, still super cool and I became addicted :D The first clan was .:TnT:. = The naughty Teenagers which then sounded cool and stuff, but now we're like wth, how could we ever make a name like that :P

played Jedi Knight 3 in aGu , saw they had a ET squad (the one with Puma2k etc)... friend asked me if i dont wanna play it for the lulz ... played it for the lulz ... never really quit yet never really played.

heard about it on habbo.dk

magazine

my bro

I played UT99 on a private lanparty with about 25 people. After I raged the others, they started to play Enemy Territory and since I didn't want to spectate I installed it and never deinstalled it again.

Must have shit PC from UT99 days;)

Parent

7 years ago my friends told me that there is some AWESOME WWII FPS which I simply can't miss...

power of "from one mouth to other ear"

my brother played it when i was younger :DDDD

my bro

a friend told me bout rtcw and ive googled for cheats, found w:et
another friend played w:et and we both started to play

I always told that you're a cheater!!!

Parent

lol i played q2 back in days but is this any related? it came free with a magazine but still, i've already read about beta @ another site XD

Came with PC Gamer Magazine. I tried to get another copy for nostalgia but the company was sold or shut down that fucking week. (after running for what, 12 years, just my fucking luck).

Anyways... I still have the demo disc, and the official original 2003 .exe install file. Demo came with some Star Trek or Star Wars game and Moto GP. Also some Ghost Master stuff?

Awesome.

played rtcw sp once at a friends place, thought about it like 3 years later or so and only remembered castle and wolfenstein and first thing google gave me was ET, downloaded and started playing eventhough it was not wat I was looking for in the first place ":D"

Technically it was through Google, and then Wikipedia, but at the time I wasn't searching for ET specifically. I bought a MacBook Pro and the only game installed was Chess so I went to search for a nice FPS game. I found ET and decided to give it a try since it was free...the rest is history.

GIGA TV (oasis - double fullhold, but i cant remember the teams anymore)

other:

My brother told me about this game, we both played the game.

i was asking help from my mate about photoshop and he told me "not now, playing ET" and when that happened on the next day and the day after that, i decided to give it a try. you all know what happened next...

was in 2003 there was a gaming program on sky1 and they showed ET on it and I went and downloaded it :)

gamezville! :D thats where i found it too with ex-ET-legend United Kingdom

Fazz

Parent

haha thats the one! with the two black lads :)

Parent

downloaded it by accident, meant to download RTCW after a friend told me about it on msn, downloaded Et played it liked it, then downloaded RTCW didn't like it as much as ET.

fin

the very evil Suriname

N30 and his cousin Netherlands

D10 were always playing this game, and after some school lan he gave me free access to all his cheats and the rest is history :)

"A friend told me:"

those retard game selling companies wanna make a good game then they should listen to us because if they wanna sell good they will want us to do good advertisement for them

(and not the stupid sold biased review sites, everyone knows they cant provide a flippin fair opinion)

lesser minds controlling the world -> it pisses me off

AND FUCK YEAH I GOT THE BOOZZZZZZZZ
wooo

My father played it 7 years ago, when I was 10.
I've also pubbed since then, but got into competitive ET around 1,5 years ago.

It's been 6 years, how the hell do I remember. Although it was luda or 2 other dudes who prolly told me.

OrCh1d &

Ta1oN did show it to me
ive played rtcw before but my pc wasnt good enough to play on normal servers online

i just wonder if there are any players who first played ET:QW and then switched to ET?!

Who would switch from a good game to a worse one

Parent

Class mate gave it to me when it came free with a magazine (June 2003?)
I had played the RtCW demo before this though and a friend of mine had the full game which I used to play at his house. However back then I was still mostly playing UT99.

I was playing 'hearts' on kurnik.pl @ internet cafe while I saw some people playing ET. I asked the owner of internet cafe for the name of the game. I brought some mates and we were playing fueldump :D Everyone was jumping like in Quake, everyone was playing engineer. At first we couldn't get what on earth respawn is :D All in all, we were playing fueldump and goldrush between each other, was like 4v4 (no more PC's @ inet cafe). Then I started pubbing and here I am now lol.

I brought some mates

Read "I bought some mates" ":D"

Parent

its an option in poland:)

Parent

LOL

Parent

If only they had money :(

Parent

friend told me about 5 yrs ago..

played RtCW before ... omg allready 7 years ago ... then my cousin told me about and I started to play ET with my old RtCW Clanmates :)

good old times :>

Irska installed RtCW and told there's ET and my dad installed it =)

my m8ty m8 miluu showed it to me! ty for it :D

Like we have any friends.

my brother told me to play it for 5 min while he was gone to the bathroom .rest is history lol

It came out about the time when I got broadband, so I was looking for "large" files to download. I then read about a free shooter coming out on GameSpot.

dad & his friend played it :D

I heard about it from my brother who played it in his highschool years

my dad played RTCW and quake and he started to play ET so i just joined in and played a bit (was kinda young back then)....

.... back in 2003 -2004 ET felt so freaking awesome now its like just a game (guess it has to do with the age :))

My brother was on Kazza if you guys remember it, and he seen it there, then we started playing it.

went to a friends house after ET got released for 2months and I saw my friend sniping on fueldump, went home, installed it, never looked back :D

wtf u mean by never looked back

Parent

is like... and here I am : p

Parent

Wierd, you spanish faggot

Parent

Saw my cousin playing it and I got so fucking addicted after seeing landmines blowing up and airstrikes being placed and destroying everything. :D

mein bruder

read a review in a gamer's magazine, downloaded and played for few weeks. Then got into a team after a 1v1 goldrush test match (against a girl :p) and just kept on going for shitload of years

I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein: The Extended Edition in Game for £10, and it came with a copy of ET on a separate disc. Once I had finished the single player of the former I tried the multi-player but could not get it to work so I installed ET and never looked back!

During school.
We made a school clan , Kings Of Assault

-=]KoA[=-

xd

should make a new poll asking if the friend who told you about ET is still your friend after 9 years of living in a cave after he told you

friend shown me this game, became addicteed

FIRST TIME WAS I SAW MY COUSIN PLAYING IT WITH HAX!

Saw pds rolling nerds.
Then i started rolling nerds.
Now we are rolling nerds together.

Ganon told me in 2003

Blaze and LAGmer were arguing on a LAN over what map to play. One of them wanted Fueldump, the other didn't because that map had frequently been played in the W:ET demo.

And then we played and played.

Played some rtcw then moved to et buhhhh

GAMEZVILLE!

played quake3 -> rtcw -> ET -> quakelive
