I ran a mildly popular instagib server back in the day. One of the greatest fps games.

So many memories on that game, played all the way up until about 2014. Wish there was a modern-day remake.
Not a remake but you can still play. Plenty of servers filled with actual players.
I’ve been on the lookout for a game like Wolf ET, but I have never seen any game like it. Putting aside that it’s free, which definitely contributes to its ease of access, is there any other game with the diversity of objectives in a large online setting?
All other multiplayer games that I’ve tried are enjoyable, but follow very similar repetitive formulas of capture the flag, team deathmatch, etc. Games like CoD added some interesting game modes, and many games went the route of Battle Royale, but those are all the same as each other.
Wolf ET has a very good play style coupled with maps that each have their own objectives as if you’re playing single player campaigns but are actually online with real players, not npcs. It requires teamwork in the way I’ve only seen MMORPGS implement. But those RPGs are usually team work against NPCs.
Then there’s the custom maps and the community of mods that have expanded the game so much over the years that the only other games that come to mind to match this to me are (Open)RCT2 and Minecraft, which are already a games about building. So WolfET having such an extensive library of custom maps with custom objectives is just incredible and furthers the playability. I’m still coming across maps I’ve never played before after 15 or so years of playing myself.
So while I am surprised people still play it, I’m just as excited to keep playing periodically. But I also hope to find a modern game that implements the aspect Wolf ET implemented 20 years ago. Anyone find anything like it?
I used to play it when i was a kid and got bored of the nfs Underground and gta san Andreas grind.
Shat my pants and got scared af.
Replayed the game, still shat my pants
I love SD formula for online FPS games. Class and objective based. With some form of skillbased movement. It feels rewarding to spend time learning the game.
W:ET. Quake Wars. Dirty Bomb. Are all FPS games I have good memories of. And occasionally come back to play.
Dirty Bomb was incredible. Just poor timing.
Yeah... I think their business model didn't really help either.
Was excited when I heard SD was working on a new game... But it sounds like it's supposed to be a survival game like DayZ. I'll keep an eye on it...
