RTCW Enemy Territory Is OUT.

[AllenSmoker]

Yup, the full Version is out. 3dgamers.com has it and im sure a few others will soon.

For those that dont know, Its a free online only expansion to Return to Castle Wolfenstien. Does NOT require the original game, just download and install.

[cack01]

Beat me to the post. I'm downloading it right now. I hope they made some optimizations to the network code, b/c almost every game I played in the demo lagged a little.

Just played it for 5 minutes. I played the same map that was in the MP test so I can't comment on the new maps. Everything seemed fine, pings seemed much lower now, but besides that nothing jumped out at me as being different.

[john240sx]

once i have it downloaded (and after i play it for a little while ;) ) i'll have a dedicated server up. it won't be a 24/7 server but i will have it up as much as possible (my mom kinda confiscated the computer i built to be my dedicated game server :( )

[john240sx]

umm, does anyone know how to setup a dedicated server? i don't see an option for it and the read me doesn't have anything about it.

edit: nevermind, the option is right there in the server setup :bang head
i'm not a morning person i guess :D

i'll have the server up in a few minutes.

edit2: new problem. when i try to join my server it says 'CD Key is already in use at another IP address', this game doesn't have a CD key :confused:
any ideas?

edit3: i tried hosting a regular server and play with my dad and it says the same thing about a CD Key. i wonder if i have to download it again for each computer or if it's a bug or something. if i find anything i'll post it.

FINAL EDIT: i solved the problem :). you have to join an online game to get a unique key assigned to your computer, after that you can play lan games.

[john240sx]

sorry, i can't host a server for this game. when more then 4 people are connected the pings go from 50ms average to over 300ms, i would think my upload could handle at least 8 people but i guess not :(

[whooping_a_panda]

whats your upload? im not sure how much a player takes up in RTCW but in a half-life based game each player takes ~5kbps, my 256 upload equates to roughly 25-30kbps and so i can handle 5-6 people at a time without pings shooting through the roof, for most any type of server a 768 upload would be a minimum

[john240sx]

my upload is 256Kb/sec. i can host Americas Army with 10 people before pings go over 150 (70ms is normal on a LAN for this game). with ghost recon i had 10 people with no lag.

[Vedder323]

this game is FUN! Not the greatest graphics but I love different roles you can play and being able to use them for your teams benefit... trully underated game!

[OC Noob]

and its a completely free stand alone game?

Why would they do that?

I don't have anything against free tho. Gonna get me a copy!

[SinsFeelNatural]

i wish I could master the mortor!

Anyone else think the flamethrower is useless???

You have to get super close to even hit the enemy and by that time you are hamburger meat

i'm pretty good with them, i use it like a smoke screen until i get close enough to hit them. you can still get shot up but if you strafe while using it the person your shooting it at can't tell where you are.

Ill have to try that.

Any tips on using the mortors?

That's one weapon I want to master

[john240sx]

i'm still working on those, i'm getting better but it still takes a couple shots to get it lined up at far targets.

i'm killer with the grenades shot form the rifel though :D i can actually hit someone in thier head from pretty far away.

[SinsFeelNatural]

We should start a OC Team

[john240sx]

i put [OC] before my name, same with every other online game i play.

btw, i play as [OC]john240sx

i think this game just might bump Americas Army off my hard drive :eh?:

[cack01]

I just read this in the readme:

-Prone Players and Airstrikes

Brave players can go prone on Airstrike markers, block the visual cue, and cause them to be aborted if done early enough

I thought that was a pretty neat option but I have yet to try it.. I am getting sick of being blasted by air strikes 5 seconds after I spawn.

i tried that a few times, you have to lay exactly over the marker, out of about 10 attempts i got it once or twice.
