WolfensteinEnemy Territory is a free and open-source multiplayer first-person shooter video game within the Wolfenstein series.[3][4] It was originally planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and later as a standalone game. However, due to problems with the single-player aspect, the multiplayer portion was released on 29 May 2003 as a freeware standalone game. In January 2004, the source code for the game logic (not the game engine) was released to the benefit of its modding community.[5]

The game uses a modified Return to Castle Wolfenstein engine, itself being a heavily modified id Tech 3 engine, which has been open source since 2005. As of the first day of the August 2010 QuakeCon, the entire source code was released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.[6] The media assets remain proprietary.


Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is an online multiplayer game, wherein the players interact with each other over a network, in two teams (Allies and Axis) to defend or destroy mission objectives. The game is playable over the Internet or a local area network. In public games, PunkBuster used to protect the game, however its developer, EvenBalance, discontinued support for the game in October 2011.


There are six officially released maps that are partially based on real locations or events (North African Campaign: Gold Rush, Siwa Oasis, and Atlantic Seawall Battery; Europe Campaign: Rail Gun, Wrzburg Radar, and Fuel Dump), as well as hundreds of custom maps made by the gaming community. On most maps, the offense needs to complete a certain set of objectives within a limited amount of time. The defense needs to keep the offense from completing objectives until time runs out. Some objectives may be optional, and some objectives can be carried out by either team. These minor objectives assist the team completing them. Depending on game mode the action will continue on another map (Campaign Mode) or the same map (Objective Mode, Stopwatch Mode, Last Man Standing).


Players may earn experience points in several skill categories. All character classes may earn points in Battle Sense and Light Weapons. Class skills are generally restricted to the current class, the exception being Heavy Weapons (the Soldier class skill).


Players have certain abilities based on their character class. The player has a Power Bar that provides "power" for their special abilities. The power bar regenerates slowly. Constructing the Command post speeds up the recharge rate though. Players have up to eight weapon slots, depending on character class. The classes that are available are engineer, soldier, field ops, medic, and covert ops.


Through gameplay, experience can be gained for three categories: Battle Sense, Light Weapons, and a skill determined by the player's current chosen class. Certain class benefits remain with the player even if they change classes, and benefits from the two general skills are available to the player throughout, regardless of class change. Once a player has accrued enough experience points in a particular skill, the skill is automatically advanced to the next level, providing the player with a new ability or advantage. There are four attainable levels in each skill, awarded at 20, 50, 90 and 140 experience points; some mods add new levels.


Depending on the server's settings, a player's experience (XP) can be deleted at the end of a campaign, when the player disconnects, or after a set period of time. Experience can also be saved even upon disconnection. In competitions and select public servers, rankings are disabled, meaning that XP gives no advantage. The meaning of this is to make games faster; as defenders usually get a lot more XP, they would become stronger during the match, making the end game very difficult for the offensive team.


Based on the source code of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, ET: Legacy (ETL) is an open source project aiming to create a modernized client and server while still being as compatible as possible with the original game version, ET 2.60b, and its game mods.[9][10] ET: Legacy's changes include an updated game engine, many bug and security fixes, a client auto updater, the Legacy game mod and overhauls for many classic maps.[11][12]


Featuring multiplayer support for up to 32 players, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is the ultimate test of communication and teamwork on the battlefield. Players join the fray as one of five distinct character classes each with unique combat abilities. Each Axis or Allies team can divide itself into smaller fire teams for quick and easy communication using an intuitive messaging system and dynamic command map of the entire battlefield.


Well it's kind of Doom related, because the original game had no multiplayer, and to my knowledge no source port has added it either, so your best bet is to play a Wolf3D total conversion in a Doom port. From a quick Google search I see that AFADoomer's Wolfenstein 3D TC for GZDoom has multiplayer support, so maybe try that.


I may sound somewhat incredulous in the headline, but in the 0.2 seconds it took me to hop down here, I had quite a change of heart. Sure, Wolfenstein's had multiplayer since Return To Castle Wolfenstein in 2001, but only in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory did it ever really shine. 2009's Wolfenstein, meanwhile, didn't do anything particularly well - multiplayer included. So maybe it's best left on the cutting room floor in favor of single-player's, er, Xbox red ring robots, I guess? The recent trailer did a spectacularly bad job of telling us what it's actually about, so that's all I've got. But yes, multiplayer's officially out of Wolfenstein: The New Order.


MachineGames confirmed any and all sorts of deathmatch's absence to GameSpot. It makes sense, too, given that the developer's made up of ex-Starbreeze folks. They've proven time and time again that they know their way around yarns and characters and Vin Diesel's magic lightbulb eyes, but splattering brains in a friendly, sportsmanlike fashion? Not so much.


Frankly, I can't complain. If I started playing playing every already released shooters' multiplayer right now and didn't stop until I'd unlocked everything in all of them, I'd get bored really fast and go do something else. Which is to say: there's already plenty of options, and most of them are pretty much interchangeable. So bravo to Machine for foregoing a tacked-on swing at a ball that got knocked out of the park and into space years ago.


More than a year ago, I bought the game Wolfenstein 2009, the single player is amazing but what about the multiplayer not being a very popular game like Call of Duty or Battlefield, there is no entering in online game server.


As a great fan of this game makes me very angry because and just as our beloved ET which only has better graphics (though many criticize the graphics engine of the game) and many more features born from the single player story.


As soon as I bought the game and there were five or six servers we played anyway and always has been very little power and to play these servers are gone and there is no chance to play the multiplayer mode, as I write this, after months I'm reinstalling the game again to check if there are game servers.


Your English is just fine to me anyways I got this game for Xbox about two years ago I think and it was a very good game and the graphics are really good. When I tried the multiplayer it was also very abandon for the Xbox too. I wish more people played and if they did I think I would have heard of ET earlier and I might have downloaded it sooner.


Single player is very playable for sure; the multiplayer was designed by a different team and on separate premises. There were alot of turnovers and changes in staff from what I understand. So this halted progess & left the project hanging with a skeleton crew of inexperienced programmers (probably way in over their heads).

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is now officially out on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. All in all, Youngblood is a pretty great time (our review is here). We played the PC version of the game for review, but I also got my dirty, Nazi-clobberin' mitts on the Switch version to see how it compares. If you've been considering playing Youngblood on Switch and are curious about the possible benefits and drawbacks of this version in particular, you've come to the right place.


I've spent three hours with the Switch version and have dabbled in pretty much every activity and the biggest spaces in both single-player and multiplayer, so while I can't speak to the whole experience, I can provide a general sense what to expect if you decide to go with the Switch version.


As was the case with Panic Button's port of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Youngblood's gameplay is just as satisfying on the Switch as it is on the other versions. Sure, the framerate is capped at 30, but as someone who played through the game at 60 FPS on a PC, the action doesn't feel too altered. It's still just as fun to mow down Nazis, and I noticed no slowdown whatsoever on Switch, even when embroiled in massive battles with impressive particle effects firing off in every direction. You don't have to worry about this version struggling in terms of performance.
