2003 Wolfenstein Game Gets Surprise Update

gamerant.com:

Id Software surprised fans by announcing the launch of four new dedicated servers for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. As a result, players of the 2003 Wolfenstein multiplayer title can log in now to play the original, unmodified game and maps preserved just as they were 19 years ago.

Released nearly two decades ago, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is an outlier in the series. A stand-alone class-based multiplayer spinoff of Return To Castle Wolfenstein, it's been kept alive by a small but dedicated fanbase.

Players have been hosting their own servers for decades, featuring a variety of mods and custom maps. While these aren't going anywhere, developers wanted to cater to Wolfenstein fans looking for a more nostalgic experience. This led id to open four regional servers running the vanilla version of Enemy Territory. The supported regions are US: Texas, EU: Netherlands, AU: Canberra, and UK: London. The servers are named «id Software Official Vanilla Server» followed by the region's name.

Developers note that all official servers use the default Campaign mode, where players go through all six vanilla maps in sequence. There is also a limit of 16 players to a server. The developer's announcement further notes that while id Software is hosting Official & Vanilla Servers, the servers will be unmoderated. However, players who encounter problems can reach out to customer support by visiting help.bethesda.net. In addition to the four new Official Servers, id also used this opportunity to announce that the game is now available on the Microsoft Store, making now a decent time for new players to check out Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
