Hello,
I would have a little suggestion (or request) to make.
As everyone know, a 7-years old free game with the kind of community ET still has is quite unusual. Yet everyone must admit that slowly the playerbase is diminishing - public servers often contain more bots than players and proscene is plagued by cheaters and the fact that nobody wants to use PunkBuster because of the horrendous lag it gives doesn’t make the situation any better (Luckily a new anticheat entirely deticated to ETPro is in development).
So my proposal is to approach Valve to get them to distribute Enemy Territory in Steam. For free. RtCW is available in Steam (in Wolfenstein Pack -product though containing all sorts of different Wolfenstein games, for 20€), so why shouldn’t ET be? Steam is a huge media and millions of players use it - and it could be just the little “kick” ET deserves. Many people might have never heard of ET but if it was available with one click (fully patched naturally, no hassle) to everyone I’m sure atleast some of the people giving it a try would instantly fall in love with it.
Of course I do not know if Valve likes their platform to be used for free game distributing, nor do I have any idea if any of the Splash Damage guys like this idea (after all, this game has brought ~no money for them), but I figured it was worth speaking out.
