Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for Mac

[Jessterw]

Not sure how many of MURC's Mac users are also gamers, but Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory has been released for OS X. The game is free just as is its Windows counterpart. Runs decently well on my iBook 1.2GHz G4 with 768MB RAM.

More information as well as bittorrent and http downloads can be found on macgamefiles.com. Here is a snippet from the page:

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Mac 2.60

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is a free, stand alone, downloadable multiplayer game in which players wage war as Axis of Allies in team based combat. It's a team game; you will win or fall along with your comrades. The only way to complete the objectives that lead to victory is by cooperation, with each player covering their teammates and using their class special abilities in concert with the others.



Featuring multiplayer support for as many as 64 players, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory challenges gamers to the ultimate test of teamwork and strategy. Each of the five character classes is critical to a team's ultimate victory or defeat on the battlefield. The Covert Operative class allows players to steal uniforms, perform reconnaissance and gain access to enemy positions. While, the Engineer allows the Axis and Allied teams to lay and diffuse mines as well as build battlefield bridges, towers, forward command bases and other improvements in the midst of combat to gain advantages for their team.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory further online players the option to slug it out in the intense Team Last-Man-Standing game mode, where squad-mates cooperate to ensure their team has the last surviving man on the battlefield.

Since most public servers (at least in Europe, in USA Shrub is more prevalent) are ETPro now, it will take untill bani releases Etpro version that supports 2.60 patch. bani's etpro site

Otherwise, me Keifront and Wulfman play ET here.

We won't update our server atm there are still incompabilities with EtPro ET 2.60 Patch with etpro status it will probably take bani a week or so to update EtPro 3.1 of maybe 3.2 will be released.

And don't update your client yet

You will only be able to play on servers that are also running the updated version. If not, you may receive a ‘protocol’ error.

I guess there won't be much 2.60 servers yet. Altough the patch fixes some annoying bugs .

Will try out the MAC version later this week .

Ooh, cross-platform gaming! The lure and promise of... oh wait, it's STILL not happening. *sigh*

The very nature of games make them less suitable for being inherently cross-platform, but there are a number of PC-born games available on other platforms. Nevermind that cross-platform has been happening on the consoles for years.

No no. I want to be able to show the XBox retards who think that their version of Unreal Tournament is WAY COOL how very wrong they are - by beating them with a shutout score using my mouse.

FFXI, I think, allows PS2 and PC to play on the same servers.

Wolf:ET might, too... maybe.

The closest thing I can think of right now is WoW, and other Blizzard games, where PC and Mac users play together.

The consoles are pulling away from cross-platform. Notice the different versions of Halo, and how Doom3 for X-box is supposed to have a co-op mode that the PC version doesn't.
