The free, stand alone multiplayer game, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, has been released for the Macintosh. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory enlists players to battle across multi-level WWII campaigns as one of five classes, gaining skills and promotions, constructing strategic assets, and battling with weapons ranging from tank-mounted machineguns to mortars.

The release of the Mac version was made possible thanks to the release of the Software Development Kit (SDK) back in late January. A group known as ETPro mod team and Aspyr's own Brad Oliver were involved in the making of the Mac version of Enemy Territory.

The free game, which weighs in at 258 MB, is available for download as a Bittorrent download from Macgamefiles.com. Traditional download servers will be available shortly.

Update: Aspyr Brad Oliver notes that the major factor in allowing a Mac version (aside from the enthusiasm from id and the rest of the folks involved) was the decision to go ahead with a new PC/Linux patch. This gave us a way to introduce the necessary Mac changes in a clean way that allowed both pure servers and PunkBuster to work across all platforms.
