Return To Castle Wolfenstein.

Fuct · 22nd Nov 2001, 06:38 AM

Anyone here played it yet?

MetalMickey · 22nd Nov 2001, 06:47 AM

Yeah, i have. Dont know what all the fuss was about really, its pretty average so far.

Run around corridors shooting nazis, then run around corridors shooting zombies and mummies. Hardly ground-breaking stuff. Maybe it'll get better later on.

NotBillMurray · 22nd Nov 2001, 08:07 AM

Yeah, not revolutionary. However, the multiplayer is pretty intriguing, becasue its basically always assault. Another MP mode is a domination variant.

Multiplayer I heard was alot of fun. I tried playing the multiplayer test but that wouldnt work.

Sounds like I expected it to be :
I told you so ...

Any idea if there's going to be a single-player demo ?

And are there any decent bots in multiplayer ?

Pretty far into the *very average* game. It doesnt suck you in at all! The graphics are not groundbreaking, the gameplay is very dull, no suprises whatsoever. Shoot this, steal that, blow it up, blablabla...
If you were to buy a fps for this year you better get No One Lives Forever or Undying. Both MUCH better in *all* expects!

Ballistophobia · 22nd Nov 2001, 11:46 AM

I thought the idea behind the game was to relive the original with standard (or sub-standard being it's using the Q3 engine) graphics. Sure, the graphics aren't better than Doom 3, but they're certainly better than the original. It's a tongue-in-cheek game, people.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?

NotBillMurray · 22nd Nov 2001, 11:57 AM

I haven't seen any signs of bots for multiplayer - odd now that I think about it.

The enemy AI is pretty nice. They duck for cover, sound alarms, investigate if they think they see you. Unfortunately, there haven't been too many surprises so far, but I'll keep after it.

/\l!eN[RIP] · 22nd Nov 2001, 11:59 AM

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Notf is one of the best fps I've ever played. It's funny, inovating, beautifull and nice plotted(?) ... really enjoyed it!
RtCW though....blech

MetalMickey · 22nd Nov 2001, 12:07 PM

Yeah NOLF was ok. RTCW reminds me a bit of a dull version of NOLF.

G-Fresh · 22nd Nov 2001, 12:07 PM

Well, I thought NOLF had below par graphics and didn't do anything new at all. I admit it was fun to play, but it was a pretty average game overall. I definitely wouldn't call it one of the best FPS's I've played. Each to his own I guess

As for RTCW, I'll think I'll wait for the SP demo before deciding to fork out for it

/\l!eN[RIP] · 22nd Nov 2001, 12:29 PM

Dont tell me the "aaaaargh-i-gotta-get-that-parachute-of-the-back-from-the-guy-below-me-while-I-get-shot-at-by-other-bad-guys" wasnt fun!

But it's true, each to it's own!

G-Fresh · 22nd Nov 2001, 12:33 PM

That bit was fun, can't deny that, but the rest of the game......

/\l!eN[RIP] · 22nd Nov 2001, 12:36 PM

grrr....

and what about the beginning, defending that deaf guy who keeps losing his dime, or the guy who wants to sell his monkey all game long, brilliant!
But let's talk Undying, cause WOW! That was one freaking gooooood game. Absolutely horrifying! Anyone got it?

/\l!eN[RIP] · 22nd Nov 2001, 06:12 PM

About Wolfenstein....I just finished it, now it is SHORT AND DULL instead of just dull.
blech!

DeRailer · 22nd Nov 2001, 09:20 PM

I'm buying rtcw for it's multiplayer. How many online maps are there?
Undying never does it for me. It's fun for a while but not that scary. NOLF however rocks big time.

NotBillMurray · 22nd Nov 2001, 09:32 PM

Beach = mp_beach
Depot = mp_depot
Village = mp_village
Das Boot = mp_sub
Communique = mp_base
Assault = mp_assault
Castle = mp_castle
Destruction = mp_destruction

I think they can be played for objectives or as a domination like game.

DeRailer · 22nd Nov 2001, 10:40 PM

thx Monk O_o
8 mp maps... considering the beachmap didn't even get a little repetitive, it's gonna be a long while.
