RTCW: Enemy Territory Full Version Released

bani writes "Following just a month after the test release, Enemy Territory has finally made a full version release! You can download the Linux and Windows versions for free, it does not require the retail Return to Castle Wolfenstein product in order to play. Hats off to Id+Activision+SplashDamage for giving the community such an excellent 3d FPS, for FREE!" Update by J : Id has set up a BitTorrent for the downloads. And if anyone needs a Mac beta-tester, I'm available :)

[pete-classic]

Between the email link you alluded to in the subject and the red title bar I take it that Michael is (finally) on some sort of editor probation. ;-)

A simple slip of the fingers, and you get #CC3333 instead of #006666.

It could happen to anyone.

Red headlines and new slashdot graphic....this is waaay too much before morning coffee!

Ok, I've started the download

[stinky wizzleteats]

If I ever get it, I'll slap it up on my mutella node for everyone else. I think I'll ln -s it to "daddypants_sent_me_here.zip"

Thanks !

Special thanks to fileplanet.com for hosting the linux version.
And as a token of our appreciation we will slashdot the hell out of fileplanet.com. Thanks once again guys.

Almost there... FilePlanet should have 'hold' music.

The Matrix is in my butt.

Re:Fileplanet ! NOOOOOOOOOO! Mirrors?

[the gnat]

My favorite is the 3D Gamers mirror, which requires that you have a special Windows-only download manager to get the files. When you click on the Linux installer, you get an error message saying "you do not appear to be running IE on Windows". Nice work, guys.

Re:Yes, but...

Bug in slashdot me thinks.

What? It's open source and runs on Linux! It's not possible for it to have bugs!

Re:Anyone got a torrent for it?

[illumina us]

RIAA/MPAA: MY GOD? YOU'RE USING BITTORRENT! PIRACY PIRACY PIRACY!!!! Friendly Neighborhood Geek: But, the game is free. How am I pirating it? RIAA/MPAA: Game? What game, it's a moving image with sound files, that means it belongs to us! We're talking to our lawyers right now! Friendly Neighborhood Geek: Ok... time to put up another firewall and set my pgp encryption to 4096 bits.

Need it

[muffen]

/me is looking for Enemy Territory.
I have Doom I&II for trade. I will give leech access to this ftp site as well.

Sorry, just had an IRC-warez flashback :)

Seriously, it looks like a good game, and I'm impressed by the fact that it's free.
This is set to be a big hit, as you can play online with it, which today is the only thing that counts.

Re:Weird

[grub]

Anyone know why Slashdot is all weird this morning?

Just this morning?

Re:Red Title Bar

[grub]

..perhaps they are attempting to lure more subscribers by showing off the features of the system.

I was thinking this exact same thing. We must use the same brand of tinfoil for our hats.

Re:direct WGET link for Linux version

[billatq]

I'm seeing 106.96K/s from AU - not bad... wget http://files.ausgamers.com:81/wolf/enemyterritory/ et-linux-2.55.x86.run

Yeah, but I'm getting 234 kB/s off of bittorrent :). My, I love how it's the only thing that actually gets faster as more people hit it. Reminds me of the scene in the Matrix Reloaded where Neo is fighting the fifty agent smiths, only without Neo or the agents or the cool computer generated background.

Good lord, 500cc's of glucose up the arm...

[Bowie J. Poag]

As a long-time RTCW addict, I can tell you this much -- The original RTCW in multiplayer mode is enough to keep you hooked for months. I mean, come on... Any game that allows you to shoot someone in the face point blank with a high powered rifle, drag their body off into a dark corner, set them on fire, and jump up and down on their chest while stabbing them in the face... What more could you ask for?

Re:BitTorrent Links

[jandrese]

Sorry, that must have been me. I was getting 950KB/s down and only 200KB/s up. It's done now though, and I've left the window open (but it's only doing 100KB/s up).

Re:My guess as to why it is free

[jandrese]

Nor are you even given the feeling that you're in a squad with computer team members which would assist in firefights.

Huh?!? Are you sure you are thinking of RTCW? You don't feel like you're in a squad in RTCW because you aren't. Jack is sent in everywhere by himself. Apparently he is the only field operative left alive or something.

As for the spiral staircase problem, what are you talking about? There are maybe 3 or 4 spiral staircases in the entire game. You also rarely have to do any backtracking (unless you missed something), or at least I didn't.

By the third paragraph I'm pretty sure you're trolling, as no version of GTA I've ever seen is a FPS.

[default luser]

Every slashdotter had a pretty good shot,
To get spot inside the Public Server lot,
If something happened on the way to that place,
They threw a 'Personal File Server' subscription in our face!
