`ET: Legacy <http://www.etlegacy.com>`_ is an open source project based on the code of `Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory <https://www.splashdamage.com/games/wolfenstein-enemy-territory/>`_ which `was released <https://www.splashdamage.com/news/wolfenstein-enemy-territory-goes-open-source/>`_ in 2010 under the terms of the `GNU General Public License v3 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html>`_.
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.
Ambition
--------
There are two aspects to this project, an updated game version **ET: Legacy** and a new mod **Legacy**.
* The main goal of **ET: Legacy** is 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.
* The main goal of **Legacy** is to stay close to the original gameplay experience and provide a updated but viable alternative to ETPro for competitive play while staying lightweight but extensible through additional Lua scripts.
