Time to say good bye Options

[StoerFaktoR]

Hello together,
I think the time has come to say good bye from the ET scene.
I totally lost the fun for Enemy Territory because of a lot of reasons.

The main reason is that there are no servers anymore where it's possible to play for objectives or in a team.
Only fraggers , trollers , rulebreakers and kids who don't care
the main features of Enemy Territory ( Objectives and Teamplay ) .
The scene started to die where Even Balance disabled the support for Enemy Territory and the scene goes smaller and smaller.
Maybe that was the kick-off for some server admins to say "hey ... let's recruit now every idiot who play this game". But this is an other story...

I praise and thanks the server admins who have remained their line.

I remember the old days where i joined a server with 10 vs 10 players and all players try to win the map.
Now if i connected to a server the only things i saw was spawnkillers & campers , teammeates who pushing me into death or teammates who don't care the
objectives or the team.
If i want to play like this then i will play Call of Duty or Battlefail but not Enemy Territory.

Ok now I complained enough ;)

I would like to thank Schnoog for the trust and the beautiful times we had :)
Also I would like to thank all clans, players and SL Admins with those I had a lot of fun.

DSK , ETW-FZ , [AF] (does not exist anymore) , FSG (does not exist anymore) , *NT* (does not exist anymore) and last but not least the {WeB} Guys ;)

enjoy Enemy Territory as long as it takes.

CYA

It is Incredibly sad to hear but not altogether surprising. When all you encounter are guys ready to bend the rules, break the rules and play for themselves and their stats. Then even great games like ET cannot survive. We had an amazing run, but the sad fact is there are not enough like minded players and the game is showing its age! Also are so many factions out there all working in isolation on projects that if were all under one umbrella may have reversed the problem. the sad fact is until someone revamps ET or ports it into to Source or unreal engine than I only see a very bleak future for ET. We set out on a path a few months ago to try and find a replacement for ET some joined us some decided to decline and I do have some positive news. We have found a proper teamplay game, is it inherently as good as ET... not at the moment but it has potential, the really positive thing is:
THERE ARE STILL TEAM FOCUSSED PLAYERS OUT THERE....

Our new Day of Infamy server is full every night with these types of players we occasionaly get one who is all about K/D ratios but noone puts up with it which is a breath of fresh air! most nights we actually have people queueing to join the server. we are getting involved with the devs as this game is still in beta testing and we anow getting modes that are more like ET.

So why post this in Chris's goodbye post? Because I truly hope this is adieu rather than Auf Wiedesehen and that we will somehow, somewhere get a game that we deserve.... a truly team based objective heavy WII FPS a ET for 2017 and beyond...

On a personal note Chris you have been nothing but a gentleman in all my dealings with you heartfelt sadness you are leaving us but i meant what i said i hope that soon when we find a fully fledged succesor to ET you might be tempted to stick your head above the sandbags for another battle!!
Kindest regards
