It led me on to ET: Quake Wars too, which was another massive time-sync. Quoting: iiari Quoting: scratchi Quoting: PinballWizard Quoting: scaineI played a LOT of this game back in its (original) day. Last edited by iiari on 1 March 2021 at 3:59 pm UTC Is there still an active community of people playing to make the time invested in getting it running worthwhile? I know that was the case a few years back. I bought it on Ebay a few years ago with the intent of trying it out, since I'd heard such great things. Thanks for reminding me :)Wondering the same thing. Do people still play it? I mean, are there active servers and stuff? Is it available for free download from somewhere? I've been playing a lot of Quake Champions lately, would love to dive into this one for a few rounds if it's still active. Quake Wars.I heard about it when it just came out, but never got into it for some reason.think I had a lot going during that time. Quake Wars is one of my favorite games of all time! I have a copy I install on every Linux partition I inhabit. Quoting: scratchi Quoting: PinballWizard Quoting: scaineI played a LOT of this game back in its (original) day. Hopefully they will eventually remove those servers from the list in the 64bit client. It got me through some tough times and so it's pleasing to see it doing so well - now free and open source so everyone can get involved.įor the Linux version, you're going to want the 32bit build otherwise you're going to have issues joining servers as as it seems most servers still only provide 32bit mods. It holds a truly special place in my heart, as I played the original to absolute death during the time of the original Xbox. Added prestige feature that tracks players skill levels reset.Added shoutcaster mode / Added shoutcast overlay.Allow setting multisample to 8x for increased visual quality.Private slots counter for server browser.New download container system to "address security and convenience issues".Looking over the changelog, here's a few interesting bits: The actual blog post announcing it was pretty brief. Yes, we have been saying that about the past releases as well, but only because it's true! Thanks to an actually growing ET: Legacy community and more active interest and involvement by players and server owners alike, the amount of feedback we have received since 2.76 was absolutely astonishing. It was also overdue, but now it's finally time for ET: Legacy 2.77 'Capture the City!', our most comprehensive release to date. Thanks to the original source being released back in 2010, it lives on with the dedicated team behind ET: Legacy and it's easily the best way to play the game with many improvements over the original while remaining compatible with the latest version of the original release. Fans also continue to play the game in 2021 and offer many resources at QW Landing and the TAW ETQW Discord server for newcomers.Miss the classic shooter from Splash Damage and id Software? Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory has a modern open source version you can play with ET: Legacy and there's a new release available. ZeniMax apparently did not seek to keep the game alive after this point as developer Splash Damage was already working on Brink for Bethesda Softworks.ĭespite the untimely retirement of Enemy Territory, Splash Damage fondly recounted their experiences making the game for its 10th anniversary and even continue hosting the ET:QW demo, client and server programs, patches and mods to this day. It is likely that Activision and ZeniMax agreed to let the game remain on sale for a period that seemingly concluded at the end of 2011. ZeniMax acquired id Software and its intellectual properties in June of 2009, in the middle of what is assumed to have been Enemy Territory’s lifespan. Although replies to the Facebook post are no longer archived, a comment on developer Splash Damage’s forums reports that Activision’s response was that “we’ve been told that the game is now licensed by Id Software”. By December 7th, 2011 another owner had inquired about its disappearance with Activision Support. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars was delisted on Steam no later than December 3rd, 2011 when the earliest mention of its absence was archived.
