ET: Legacy is an open source project based on the code of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory which was released in 2010 under the terms of the GPLv3.

Set during World War II and heavily focused on team work, the game was initially released in 2003 by Splash Damage and id Software. More than a decade after its release, after spending countless hours of escorting tanks and trucks, stealing gold and radar parts and transmitting confidential documents, it was time to dust off the game which consistently refused to go down.

There are two aspects to this project:

• An updated game engine, ET: Legacy, which aims to fix bugs and security exploits, remove old dependencies, add useful features and modernize its graphics while still remaining compatible with ET 2.60b and as many of its mods as possible.
• A new mod, Legacy, which aims to add many useful features and improvements while staying close to the original gameplay, as well as being lightweight and extensible through Lua scripts.

Under the wing of ET: Legacy, players from all corners of the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory community came together to continuously update a game that is well over a decade old, which despite its considerable age is still home to hundreds of concurrent players a day.

ET: Legacy development is a collaborative effort done in an open, transparent and friendly manner. We do appreciate any contribution to the project may it be in the form of patches, suggestions, reports or comments. Anyone is welcome to join our efforts!

Here is what you can expect:

• an easy to run installer to get you in battle in no time.
• an updated engine with nearly all known security issues and exploits fixed.
• a clean, optimized code.
• a fast, built-in minimizer.
• all known security fixes.

While ET: Legacy is aiming to remain backwards compatible with ET 2.60b, do note there are some limitations. See FAQ and Compatible Mods.

The Legacy mod is the default mod shipped with ET: Legacy. It aims to:

• fix vanilla bugs.
• add many useful features and improvements while staying close to the original gameplay.
• stay lightweight and be extensible through Lua scripts.
• provide an easily extensible admin toolset in Lua.
• be a viable and up-to-date alternative to the popular ETPro mod - Just plain and pure ET experience.
