Enemy Territory Fortress Mod Arrives

Posted by michael on from the real-men-do-it-with-flamethrowers dept.

Rogerpq3 writes "Enemy Territory Fortress (ETF), a port of the Quake3 mod Q3F is now available for Enemy Territory players. ETF is based off the Team Fortress concept: 10 unique classes and a ton of very cool weapons along with some killer maps. The mod includes many game types like CTF, Reverse CTF, Single Flag, Capture & Hold, Assault, King of the Hill and Duel. To play the mod, all people need to do is download Enemy Territory and the latest patch which are both free. You can find a list of download mirrors for ETF here."

    For all those interested in free online FPS's, there is a free game similar to Counter-Strike called "Americas Army: Special Forces" which is put out as a srecruiting tool by the US military, and can be downloaded here: http://www.americasarmy.com/

    AA:SF is great fun, and Linux and Mac clients are on the official site as well. The graphical quality on most missions is not as good as HL2, but still decent nonetheless.

      Yes. In the Army they're generally called 'snipers'.

      I prefer True Combat: ELite (http://truecombat.com/intro.php), which is a counter-terrorism mod for ET. It's quite realistic, you have to aim using the iron sights of your gun, it's a rather sneaky gameplay compared to the bunny-hopping-rocket-fireing-grenade jumping gameplay of ETF. TC:E is still only available as a test version, but be sure to give it a try.

    both ET and the patches are on the id FTP, and about all of the usual download sites (and plenty others too). Try activision's rtcw site, and click the Enemy Territory tab at the top, there are several mirrors for both ET and the patch listed there.

    A better (IMO) list of mirrors for ETF is here at PlanetETF, also including the torrents which have been posted already.

    ET is about 260mb, and ETF is just over 200mb. Not an awful lot to download for essentially two completely free multiplayer FPS games.

    Check the revisions of the page.

    Someone edited the Wiki page to say "Slashdot Sux" and put some hand drawn porn on it.

    But it being a Wiki, it was quickly reverted to the original content :)

    Sure it don't look as flash as COD, but the gameplay is primo! Plenty of awesome maps to download. TC:Elite mod is coming along nicely, and now this? Excellent. :-)

    There is loads on the etfgame.com website but it was giving up even before the release, with all the people refreshing the page or whatever.

    But anyway I cobbled some together from what I already had on-site from news-postings etc - ETF screenshots.

    are available there http://www.etfgame.com/shots/ for the classes http://www.etfgame.com/shots/classes/index.shtml, weapons http://www.etfgame.com/shots/weapons/index.shtml, and levels http://www.etfgame.com/shots/levels/index.shtml.

    It looks like etfgame.com took these links off of the homepage, probably because they're serving the 200MB mod as well.

    "The mod automatically gets the largest possible audience, including people who don't want to pay to play the mod and people who run Linux."

    As far as I know, people with a Mac can't run ETF (or ET for that matter)
