Even though the expansion to the well recieved Return To Castle Wolfenstein didn't perhaps pan out as Splashdamage thought from the beginning, we can with great confidence 6 years now after it's release say that Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is still a great game.
It was supposed to be full fledged expansion with it's own story and such, however this wasn't to be the case. Instead it got released as a free multiplayer online game which managed to get much attention. The game got immensly popular and a clan that where to pick it up eventually and start their own division was TG|. Led by Goatherder, Hangman, Recoil and Shockwave the TG Enemy Territory division ventured into competative gaming again alongside with CSS and JK2. Many members have come and gone during this time, the game has changed a lot. New maps, new leagues, new problems. This community has seen it all. Lately there have been wide discussions on whether the game is dieing or not. Not so many professional teams are playing it any longer and people have generally gotten bored of it after years of playing Supply and Goldrush over and over again. I believe that stating that a game is dead is just ridiculous, I've been in smaller gaming communities that have even without any sort of support from the game developer or even the benefit of a masterserver managed to survive for years. The Enemy Territory scene is far from dead, it might be smaller but it's still being enjoyed by thousands of people every day. Last week, one of the most beloved admins in the ET scene,
We'll see what happens in TG if we are to start over again with 5 fresh players to compete, this will though take time and it's unlikely that any move will be made until early next year. If you are interested in enrolling for the TG Enemy Territory division you are more than welcome to apply. We got the servers, we got the site, we got the friends, now we just need your help!

Tosspot, announced that there will be a Crossfire Challenge 7 held in Enchede, Netherlands. These series of LANS have been much appriciated and all the top teams from Europe have always been there to show off their skills. New for this year is that the format for the tournament will be 5on5. A nice move in my opinion, as teams will now have to pay for one less to go to the LAN and it'll be easier to keep teams together. This has resulted in Clanbase, one of the biggest gaming organisations for ET and many other games have chosen to drop the 6on6 format for their ladders. The sponsor for the LAN will be Intel, which is great news as this might draw even more MGC's attention. Hopefully this will bring the community together again bring more excitement back to the game that still is good, but it's kind of running the same lap over and over again.
