Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Not just a simple add-on, this is Wolfenstein the sequel.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, itself a sequel to the 1992 classic, was very well received when it came out in 2001 thanks to the combination of a compelling single player campaign and an action packed multiplayer component. Fans of the franchise will not have to wait quite as long to enjoy another adventure featuring "William J. Blazkowicz" because Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is set to appear on a PC screen near you this easter. Originally planned as an expansion pack it has blossomed to become a full blown sequel.
"Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is not just a stand-alone but an entirely new game set inside the Wolfenstein universe. Anything you've read or heard about Enemy Territory being an expansion pack is old news." - Kevin Cloud (id Software)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein was developed between two companies, Gray Matter Interactive and Nerve Software, the former responsible for the single player game and the latter the multiplayer. This resulted in both aspects receiving equal focus and polish. The team responsible for Enemy Territory is split up amongst five companies, (Activision, Gray Matter, id, Mad Doc, and Splash Damage) each working on separate elements. Between them, Enemy Territory has people from Australia, London, Boston, Santa Monica and Dallas involved. In order to keep communication flowing between the companies a twice weekly call is scheduled when everyone is awake which Ian Davis of Mad Doc has dubbed the "Wolfenstein International Call of Mystery". In charge of coordinating the production is Jonathan Moses of Activision, whose credits include Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Star Trek Armada, and Battlezone. I assume he isn't allowed to sleep.
"A spread-out team creates its own issues, but everyone involved in the project is professional and dedicated. As long as we keep the goal in mind -- making the best game possible -- it's smooth sailing."
"...it's heartening to know that at any minute of every day, someone somewhere is working on Enemy Territory." - Ian Davis (CEO Mad Doc)
The Quake III engine that underpinned the previous game will again be utilised. As the multiplayer aspect of the game is more pronounced this time the network code has been highly optimised to reduce lag. Graphically, expect to see some improvements such as atmospheric snow and rain effects. The maps also feature lush foliage linked with a level of detail algorithm ensuring the frame rate doesn't suffer, so closer objects have a higher fidelity than those further away. For the mod community there will also be more advanced scripting controls on offer so objectives can be much more complex, particularly for multiplayer.
The single player game is set in 1942 just prior to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The allies have been sending small teams of Rangers into occupied Europe for intelligence gathering and sabotage. The secretive OSA are looking to recruit members to its organisation and they eye one such team headed by none other than B.J. Blazkowicz himself. They enlist him and send his team in to rescue one of their agents, (agent 2), who has information about the German super guns. Working alongside agent 2, you and your team you will soon discover that the Nazis have more than super guns up their sleeves. The missions will be split into three major campaigns in Europe, north Africa and northern Egypt and while there will be some supernatural overtones don't expect to see zombies or monsters this time round.

Ce jeu a l'air super mais le prix reste voir.
Loved RTCW. Battlefield 1942 has won me over though. Hope the new Wolf will win me back.
Must i buy a copy of Rtcw before i can play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? Or will a copy of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory be all that i need?
no, the game isnt a completely new thing, so it'll be cheap. ive looked around as well. expect it to be in the $20-35 (USA) price range
It'll be all that you need, it's not an expansion
Y its a Xpension
so it is'nt the full ordinary price =]
Do you people not read right?? This in no expansion it is a stand alon game. The reason why its cheaper is because they want more people to buy it.
I hope they don't forget about the linux users out there when they put it on sale.

Linux for gamers? All four of them.
Where does one get the Beta and/or how much will it cost? This game will rock!! I especially like that you can fire mortars and lead your own 6 man squad!!!
I think its gonna be great.Im gonna get it as soon as it comes out.I like the idea of being able to carry the MG42 around with ya..hehe.WOOHOO.
Not even a game (FPS) is better than RTCW and that is because RTCW in my opinion got everythng right from graphics and gameplay to so lil lag
hope enemy territory will be at the same level (RTCW > CS) :]
wher to buy the CD ?????
Looking forward to, "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" was great and this looks even better.
I want to get it , where can i go to download it?
When will it be relased in Europe and how much extra can we expect to pay in England than the good old USA
Just seen thats its been shelved.
What a shock. Bet the X-Box version with all extra bits will still be released.
Just another Microsoft ploy to make PC users by their crap machine.
You'd be realy surprised how many people are moving away from windows. Game developers need to realise that there is no longer the windows and mac world in PC gaming, Epic Games realised this when they supplied the linux installer on the 3rd cd for Unreal Tournament 2003 it's just a shame they only specified windows and macintosh in the system requirements for the game :(
good morning you
I love the game and the character selection is really good BUT I must say that the sniperrifle's need more fire power. You have to take a opponent out with a single clear head shot just like RTCW. I need multiple headshots to kill somebody and that's a major disadvantage if you ask me.
woo hoo ET demo coming out soon :)
ET Test is OUT! it only has one Map. but It rocks!
a
looks cool but, looks like its going to take a lot of my GB and i am tierd of up grading my computer all the time and, i spend over 200$ dollars on my stupid computer
There is no single player game. That aspect of the project was abandoned. The new game is fantastic looking, but the voice acting is terrible. Much of the 'voice chat' phrases sound as if they were issued by a constipated man sitting on a toilet and some are unintelligible. [e.g. the word 'enemy' is pronounced in-game as 'ANAMY.'
The 'new' long range rifles are far less powerful than the good old 1 shot 1 kill mausers from rtcw.
Ok...what da hell is up?
I cant find any servers and I just acme home, pretty sloppy drunk wanting to play some. Where are the servers at?
Just got the beta test demo from a freind and things are looking faithful,I like the use of the tank
but wonder why theres no servers up and running....?
If you people havnt heard this game is no longer being released becuase the single player was not progressing well enoght for the company it will only be a muiltiplayer free release
nice ET server:
thefunnyfarm.net
130.13.82.5
It's gonna be a free download!
I am the best. ( I BEAT TK!)
Peace and love from the world of justice.
I really play the et it very good and even better i have already clan with my big brother and thats cool thing. Its one sure thing that there should be more kind of games like this splash damage and id software rules!!
Where could I download singleplayer demo of this game?
the game is free to download but only a multiplayer game single player section got cancelled you can download the test version now but i dont know when the full version is comin out
i hope you werent insulting Xbox because it is the best damn machine i have ever bought. It has better games and graphics and just everything about it is cooler that the Ps2 or gamecube or even PC

This game kicks ass, except for if your computer gets messed up or sumpin, and u fix it and go to play ET, it wont work.
game is great fun to play but needs more realism and less shuffle bug cheat to jump 20 feet and run so fast to avoid being hit
Game looks great, let's hope it isn't very expensive :)
Let's kick some Axis/Alied butt
Looks like a good game.

few questions regarding ET:
1: where can i find a server with the Saving Private Ryan sound pack installed.
2: Where can I find the extra speech e.g. "heal me". Nobody seems to tell me !

congradulations on your promotion yer oberstutchen
I believe this game, as well as all of the other games which are so very ungodly to be made illegal. People should spend more time doing godly work, and not sinning and shooting each other in a virtual world.
YOU ALL ARE INFIDELS AND SINNERS!!! HAHAHHA
