Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free multiplayer game based on the Return to Castle Wolfenstein game technology. A Macintosh version is now available for download. You don't need the original Return to Castle Wolfenstein to play -- this is a complete standalone product, designed specifically for online gaming. more

This is very exciting news for Mac shooter enthusiasts who like to play online. Sure, it's coming a lot later than its PC or Mac counterparts, but you can hardly argue given the price. Its system requirements are a lot more relaxed than Doom 3, so this is something that even a gamer with a Mac mini should be able to play pretty well. Thanks to Brad Oliver for getting this out the door.

Hooray! This is fantastic news.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is one of the best Mac games I have ever played, it runs really well on any Mac made in the last two years, and this free expansion pack will rule.
KUDOS to Brad Oliver and whoever put in the effort to get this product released... it is really appreciated!

Hello, I am one of the few/many people who choose to create mods and maps for this game. I would like to inform you of a few locations within the "ET"community which are worthwhile.
www.enemy-territory.com You will find that this site is the main resource and is visited by all sorts of people that have the abilities to answer any questions pertaining to "ET".

www.splashdamage.com <- The main interest of this site is the forums for level modifiers/model-ers/mappers. Beginners have to start somewhere....so why not at the top ?
-Cheers and we'll be seeing you all in the servers soon !!!

I haven't been able to get RTCW to run correctly on my G5, period. And it's one of my favorite online games. So this is good news!
BTW. you're sure right about Doom 3. It runs really well at 640x480 on my dual 2GHz G5. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I run UT2004 at 1900x1200! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sweet!!! I like this game way better then Doom 3. I have that on my PC and I'm not going to even bother with it on the Mac until they can address some OGL performance issues with OSX; Hopefully Tiger.
I've played this to death, but it has been a while, so it will be fun once again. I hope it suports my screen's rez. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks!!! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I've been interest in doing this, but never had the skills or tools in the past. Got to start somewhere, modeling planes is getting boring.

Using SpeedDownload 3.02 (it won't let you use 3.0 which crashes their servers) I had a slow connection. Then I stopped it and restarted it and it's now downloading at about 400 KB/s. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
