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."

      Not sure why this mod got posted up on slashdot


      Because it's free. Enemy Territory is free, the mod is free. Free is good, slashdot likes free.

  2. AA:SF is free and fun by astebbin · · Score: 5, Informative

    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.

  3. ET, the free game platform? by ultrabot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With this and True Combat: Elite (very playable even if still at testing stage), it appears that ET is the "sweet" platform to write mods to. The mod automatically gets the largest posible audience, including people who don't want to pay to play the mod and people who run Linux.

    Not that ET itself is outdated, of course; it's still as addictive and as ass-kickin' as ever.

  4. What I am waiting for is... by HanB · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What I am waiting for is the http://urbanterror.net/port to ET. I've been playing the UT mod for quake3 for ages now and it's the best playing mod of all times. Those guys don't really care about how good it looks. They just want it to play great. And in the end that's all that matters.

  5. Screenshots by J_Omega · · Score: 5, Informative

    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.
