Ruined My Life

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

Just the other day at work, Bill, one of the computer techs at my work, and myself were talking about what First Person Shooters we like. We both came to an agreement that we both prefer the faster paced, more deathmatch like FPS games, Quake 2, Quake 3, Team Fortress, Call of Duty and so forth. When talking about the games I was remembered a great game I played for a good summer in 2003, this game, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (ET).

If you don’t know what ET is, it was scheduled to be a Multiplayer Addon for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, instead they decided to release it as a free, open source game. The gameplay is VERY similar to Team Fortress. ET runs on the Quake 3 engine, so it’s nice looking but nothing cutting edge. The gameplay is top notch though, if you remember playing TF for QuakeWorld then you’ll feel at home here, however if you’re a Counter-Strike Kiddie, this will be a new experience for you. Out with the “faux-realistic” FPS gameplay of CS, and in with the Team Objective Based game with tons of DM flavor. Don’t get me wrong CS is a good game, however it doesn’t have the appeal for me. I much prefer the Fast, Deathmatch like gameplay of ET over CS anyday.

If you’ve never played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory be sure to give it a try, and if you’re an OG QW:TF player you’ll be pleasently suprised, this I gurantee you!
