Enemy Territory Getting Started

Given the popularity of this team-based WWII game, and with its new sequel, Wolfenstein, about to come out, it occurred to me that there may be those who wonder what the game is like. While the new Wolfenstein will be more advanced graphically - ET is just about 10 years old after all - this video gives a fairly good idea of what the interface is like. I filmed it on an empty server as a service to my clan's forum site. You can find our site at ofclan.net and do not need to be a clan member to join the site, but to join the clan you must be at least 30 years old and play regularly with us. This video is for those who either have no clue what the game interface looks like, or have downloaded and wonder what to do next. For those who know the game, we have two servers, the one on which this was filmed,et.ofclan.net, which is running the ETPub mod, and et2.ofclan.net which is running the No Quarter (NQ) mod. The map is a standard variation on one called Radar, and I started as an Allied Engineer as the Allies are attacking on this particular map. It runs long enough to show how to get into the game, how to select a class and weapons, how to destroy a destructible and how to grab and secure an objective. Due to equipment limitations I was unable to record the game sound along with my narration but trust me it is there. I was unable to complete the entire map and still stay within YouTube's 10 minute limit. Enjoy, comment, and feel free to embed in your forums or e-mails.

@Eragon86micky

Check your top left screen and make sure the source says web or internet, sounds like it is looking on a local network, like for a lan.

@osijoe Thanks, sorry to take so long to reply, but I rarely check my comments, welcome to the clan forums and servers.

As a first time player without knowing anything that was very informative. thanks

Are there any techniques to `Fight your way back' that would benefit me during the game?

@Vacular

All I can say is practice aiming and shooting on the run. Try not to stand in one place too long, and follow an experienced player around for a while and see how they maneuver. There is no healing in ET except from a medic, and you cannot always count on that, so if necessary hide somewhere with the objective, then wait for your opportunity to run for the truck while the Axis are busy somewhere else. Works for me.

[OldFartKeyWester]

insulting or racial/homophobic comments will be removed as soon as I see them, and I will see them quickly because I get an email when one is posted.

And what exactly are you on? How do you know anything about my sex life? Seriously, I was trying to do a service I wish had been done for me when I started playing. A lot of people don't know how to start after they download the game. And for your information, the "cfg" you talk about is determined by the server, not my computer, it is an online game (doh!)
