Enemy Territory Fortress Mod Arrives

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."

ET, the free game platform?

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Not that ET itself is outdated, of course; it's still as addictive and as ass-kickin' as ever.

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.

Luckily someone managed to revert [wikipedia.org] the Wikipedia article before too many people saw it.

Perhaps before posting a story with a link to a Wikipedia article, the Slashdot editors could e-mail the Wikipeople to place a temporary lock on the mentioned article. That would be the best compromise between allowing anonymous, open group collaboration whilst countering the trolls.

As the great philosopher John Gabriel theorises [penny-arcade.com], the large audience and relative anonymity of the internet can make good people do bad things.

Slashdot editors have proven time and again they don't care about what happens to sites they link.

Are you new?

[Slash Watch]

michael has always been a joke. He has, in his tenure here, posted stories in the wrong section, posted broken URLs, posted goatse links, posted blurbs with multiple mispelled words, blatant plugs, stories duped ONE AFTER THE OTHER(!) and stories that have been archived instantly, allowing no one to post. He calls himself an "editor" but all he does is rubber-stamp submissions that might look good on the front page. He'll hit anyone who he disagrees with with a bitchslap to knock their karma down, and has massmodded entire threads down to -1, Offtopic regardless of content. Let's see if he does it again here.

Agreed, IMHO ET is far more interesting than counterstrike: I like the complex missions, the different classes, and how you earn new capabilities (Akimbo colts anyone?). I hope that there will be an successor to that, free or not.
