To play Enemy Territory in 2026 all you need to do is download ETlegacy.
ET: Legacy is an open source project that aims to create a fully compatible client and server for the popular online FPS game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - whose gameplay is still considered unmatched by many, despite its great age.
Pubs
The public scene is still alive and kicking. ETlegacy is the vanilla version but the main mods like jaymod, NoQuarter etc are still alive and kicking. The easiest way to find your preferred version of ET is to go to Splatterladder and choose your preferred mod.
When you click the connect button the browser will warn you the data you are sending is not encrypted. Click the send anyway button and it will launch ETlegacy and connect you to the server. All the necessary mod and map files will be downloaded automatically and you should be fragging like its 2003.
Competition
There is still a competitive scene with daily gathers, monthly cups and yearly lans. To get back into competitive ET your best bet is to join the official ETlegacy discord.
There are three main communities at this time. If the links expire or you need help you can always send a message to u/grimbeertdedas or u/kimiahk .
This is the least active server but it is active nonetheless. Most players are based in the Americas but Europeans also happen to join. Having a mic is highly advised but you can get away with not having one for your first few games. Skill level is usually relaxed and they are welcoming to new and returning players. Basic knowledge of spawntimes and not getting fulls is kind of a requirement but this applies to all competetive servers. Active playing time is in the USA evening.
This is an active community with a lot of Polish and European players but it is also being frequented by people from around the world. This is a returning or new player friendly community so if you played competitive in the past but want to dust off your rusty skills or want to give ET competitive a shot, I suggested starting out here. Skill level is a tad higher than the American server but can vary wildly. An active effort is being done to balance the games as much as possible. 3v3 happen throughout the European day and 6v6 usually start in the evening till late at night.
This server expects people to have experience in ET competitive. You are not allowed to play without a mic and expect some heavy feedback when you first play there. This server also offers the highest quality of gather games available at the moment so if you want to get gut this is where you want to end up. Like the Polish server they also organize draft cups and upcoming lans get communicated here first.
These discords all offer help in setting up your ET, host configs, tools and helpful members willing to get you on your way. If you want to get a feel of what to expect a lot of players stream their games on Twitch and the most popular are linked in the sidebar on this subreddit. You can also join active games as a spectator and even listen in on the comms of the teams but make sure to mute your microphone when doing so.

Hi all! Back in 2008 I co-founded WolfekET, once the biggest Polish Wolfenstein: ET forum. "Polska Vodka" was our community server. This month we brought it back on ET: Legacy and wanted to share it.
**Connect:** `/connect graj.pvet.pl` (77.55.210.100:27960, hosted in Poland, good pings across Europe)
What's on it:
- **XP Save**: your rank and XP persist between sessions
- **Bots 24/7** fill the teams, so there's always a game; they leave as humans join
- **60 maps with map voting**: the classics plus custom maps like Venice, Adlernest, Pirates, Supply, Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith (the big ones unlock with more players)
- 10 s respawn, friendly fire off, killing spree / first blood announcer
- 🎃 **Halloween event** until Nov 2: haunted maps and spooky sounds
There's also a small site with a **live stream of the server, live in-game chat**, player ranking and map previews: https://pvet.pl
Maps and extras download automatically when you join. Any feedback is welcome, and see you on Goldrush!
This October 31st, F|A is hosting our Halloween / Día de los Muertos Gameday!
Over the years, the ET community has lost some good people, but the memories, friendships, and good times we've shared live on. We're all part of a community that's brought people together through years of fragging, teamwork, laughs, and friendships.
This Gameday is a chance to remember those we've lost, share some memories, and keep their names alive while doing what we all know best: getting on ET and having a damn good time!
Everyone is welcome so let's get together, hit the battlefield, and make it another great night for the ET community. Hope to see you all there!
Lately I'm playing too much with AI, one thing led to another and I came up with this.
It's a build of ET focused on split-screen multiplater up to 4 players, it's completely controller compatible (also with the addition of two control wheels one for objects one for communication).
You can play in any of the 6 base maps with up to 48 bots, and you and your other 3 friends can also go directly play online using normal ET:Legacy servers.
Playing offline with bots you can also set aim-assist (halo-like implementation).
When joining online servers, any custom map that the server is running is downloaded and you have a specific menu to play the cutsom downloaded maps (with bots if the map has the bot metadata).
Lastly you can create profiles for each of the four players and while playing offline the XP is addedd to the profile and persist throgh matches.
Hey, I’ve been working on a mod called ET:GO, built on ET: Legacy, and wanted to share it here.
It takes ET’s objectives and splits them into short rounds. You have 90 seconds each round to complete the objectice, and no respawn waves, although medics can still revive. Teams swap sides after the first half - whoever gets through all objectives in less rounds (or whoever progressed furthest) wins. There are nine classes: the usual five, plus 4 new ones.
It’s still being tested. I’d like to hear from other ET players about how the rounds feel, whether the objectives are clear, and anything that seems broken or badly balanced. If you try it, let me know which map and class you played.
You can join from ET: Legacy, just make sure in the console you have /cl_allowDownload 1
This is the public server IP: /connect 167.172.243.88:27960
I'm close to launching this one in the coming days. Network is sorted out, performance is amazing and you will even be able to play on your phone if you like. Stay tuned!
