2)Introduction to Enemy Territory
-----------------------
Enemy Territory was originally planned as a mod to the first-person shooter
Return to Castle Wolfenstein.  The project got canned, but another company got
it and decided to finish it. However, it was released as a stand-alone FPS
instead of a mod, and free at that. ET is based on World War II, as the Axis
powers (featuring the Wolfen symbol as its flag) battle the Allies(USA flag)on
one of many different maps,ranging from stealing key objectives to transporting
gold and ammo and even blowing up walls and structures.  Being stand-alone, you
don't need to own RTCW to play this.

3)Explination of weapons
-----------------------
The weapons have many features that make them what they are.  A brief
explination of the characteristics:
Spread: Wherever you point your crosshairs is the general area where your
bullets are going. Most guns with continous fire tend to hit in a spread out
area.  Some guns, like the Sten, are very precise and can keep their spread
limited, but most aren't very accurate if your far away.  A good way to test
this is to stand a few feet away from a tannish colored wall, fire about 10
shots, then press B to look into your binoculars (if your not in one of the Ops
classes, you need level 1 Battle Sense to get binoculars). Spread is reduced
by Level 3 Light Weaps: 35% for SMGs, 50% for pistols.
Splash Damage: When something goes boom, this is there.  Its basically damage
from the blast, and this is what can get you over 100% acc with a weapon.  Each
explosive weapon has varing levels of splash damage.  Another note as to never
stand too close to what explodes, as even on Friendly Fire off servers, your own
splash damage can kill you. At level 4 Engineering, you obtain a Flak Jacket
that halves any splash damage you get.
Also, a company named Splash Damage made the game FYI
