What players say
Players who remember it still love it, but few servers remain and it runs poorly without fixes, so newcomers are often cool on it.
Many players recall it fondly from their youth and praise its class-based, objective-driven team play, its maps and the gunplay, which they still find tight. Its sound design, such as the airstrike whistle and health pack chime, also brings back memories. Some players point out that it is free and easy to try. Most complaints concern empty servers: many report lobbies full of bots, trouble finding a populated game or no way to join at all. Others mention long asset downloads, lag and high ping, and some point to aimbot cheaters on the most popular server. Many say the game does not run properly on modern PCs and needs the community-made ET Legacy build or manual configuration. A few find the graphics and movement dated. Steam's totals are clearly positive, but the reviews read here are more mixed, and several recommendations rest mainly on nostalgia.
Praised
- Nostalgia and childhood memories
Players recall years of playing it as teenagers and say it brings back strong memories.
Many players - Class-based team play
Players praise the class system and objective-driven teamwork, which they say still feel distinctive.
Many players - Free and runs on old hardware
Players note it costs nothing and runs on weak or old machines, making it easy to try.
Some players - Tight gunplay and maps
Players say the gunplay still feels tight and the map design holds up well compared with some modern shooters.
Some players
Criticised
- Empty servers full of bots
Players say most servers are dead, filled with bots, or impossible to find a populated game on.
Many players - Technical problems and setup
Players report crashes, fullscreen and resolution failures, and the need for ET Legacy or manual configuration to run it.
Many players - Cheaters and lag
Players describe aimbot cheaters and high ping or lag that make matches frustrating.
Some players - Dated graphics and steep learning curve
Players say the visuals and movement feel dated and that newcomers face a steep learning curve against veterans.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Suits players who enjoy team-based, class-driven WWII shooters, want a free nostalgic game, or already have a populated server community to join.
- Who should skip it
- Should skip it if you expect active servers and modern performance, since many players find it empty, buggy and hard to get running.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly play with a community on a few remaining servers and recommend it despite its age, whereas players with under an hour more often find no populated games and do not recommend it.
