How did you found ESF?

[Raeku]

I stumbled upon some seedy dodgy internet cafe hidden behind this crappy CD store (which would turn out to be the first place to employ me) and I saw some kids playing ESF 1.0.

I took a flash with and leached it and copied it into my HL directory (back in the days of WON).

A PC Gamer CD with demos and stuff like that back in 2002.

This. The accompanying article in that mag also introduced bid for power, etc.

I found Earth's Special Forces back in August 2001 on Espacemod during the pre-Alpha 2.0 era (just a few months before Alpha 2.0 as mentioned came out). I was really looking for some mods to play and didn't expect that one to be Dragonball Z (as I wasn't looking for Dragonball Z mods till I found Earth's Special Forces, regardless of the fact I first started watching Dragonball Z in 1999). That's how I also began looking for other DBZ mods.

I found out about it when a friend mentioned it. He remembered playing it when it originally came out. He enjoyed it so much we decided to look to see if it was still alive. This all happened about a month ago, and my life was forever changed.

This is a neat thread. It's interesting to see where everyone first heard about ESF. Keep them coming!

I don't remember anymore, but I think it was on a LAN House, I remember playing it with my brother on LAN Houses, and it was the version which all explosions were bubbles, not sure which version it was back then, but later on I got a decent computer and HL, so I downloaded it.

Well my dad had a net-cafe, I used to spend a lot of time there, I spent a part of my life there xD
When he was gone I was in charge, I played all kind of games, My dad bought HL1 when it still used WON and i first played ESF 1.1 8-9 years ago since then I've been following ESF
My dad used HL1 on Steam but he forgot the steam account he used and last year I tried recovering that account... but finally I made myself a debit card and bought it.

Iv'e discovered it years ago when i was at highschool on a net cafe, it should be 1.2.2 or some.

some guy told me about it on a guildwars forum. I made a post about looking for a game that lets you fly around several were listed one of them being esf the rest is history.

My brother introduced me to Bid For Power I believe, played that game a lot. Bid for Power sparked my interest in mods, and I started looking around for more, eventually I found ESF...like mid-2002-ish. Lurked the forums back then, while playing the Alpha on and off, until I eventually registered in 2003.

After playing BFP in 2002, i see other mod ESF Beta 1.0 that looks like better and less bullet friendly!!!
