What's your favorite ET server?

Post by Curly »

I'm just curious, what's everyone's favorite ET server so far and why?

um, none of them? they all suck.

its total noobville. the team stacking is worse than ever and everyone wants to go rambo and whore for XP rather than play as a team. i've run into more abuse in the last week or so on ET servers than ive seen on RTCW in the last 6 months...

i mean now you got ppl tk'ing you just so they can build constructibles first and whore the XP.

theres a lot of issues in ET that I plan to fix. nerfed garand/k43, monster medics, spammy pf soldiers.

ppl know me as a pretty good sniper in rtcw. in et the sniper rifles are totally nerfed and annoying. you are no longer rewarded for good aim, and might as well aim for the body since youre always going to kill in 2-3 shots regardless if you aim for the head or not.

its kind of ridiculous when i play as a medic that i can get 600+ xp by the end of round 1. by that time you can go adrenalin and mow down semingly endless enemy players, totally unstoppable except by a direct pf hit. you also revive players with full health, which is really unbalanced.

Well, lets at least hope that they work out most of these things by final release. I am sure they are fixing most of those bugs you mentioned already. It might be a good idea to go post your beefs on thier forums so bani has less to fix...heh heh jk. But to answer your question, I personally like the...uh...well, damn there really aren't any servers that are good all the time. Alot of the servers are run with lame settings and the teams are never fair. It is nice to be able to play with 54 clients though. I can't wait for new maps.

The best server is the ilangame.com FuelDump server. Its a 6 map campaign server of all fueldump. Server is full 24/7, runs etpro and has good ref coverage. Its just a heck of a lot of fun.

Ilan is so not cool....who wants to play the same map over and over again you guys need to get out of there and play some customs....Fuel dump is good but come on a little noobish to play the same map over and over...you need to find a new place to camp.....there are goooood servers in ET..Just needs to be updated more often to fix the things Bani had mentioned and then some....EnemyRains 15 map hell!! as soon as I get the mod to work :lol: :wink:

i couldn't agree any more -- i hate the whole xp system and skill upgrades. playing with the lowest is annoyingly difficult, and it makes playing against skilled up people as close to impossible as possible.

i'll probably get flammed for saying what i really think, but it honestly makes no sense why the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker... it's almost like a communistic xp economy. not that xp gauges how good you are... of course.
