Mouse lag is still pissin' the 5hit out of me. I'm on the submarine map, btw, and I've killed a few of the legless baddies and appear to be stuck ... pointers?

Right behind you...
you need to get to the sub pen, make your way up the stairs to the second level and jump down to a door on the far side (same side you enter) and go upstairs to confront the guy you see behind the window

U1 and HL: RtCW is not as good as these games considering the 'inflation' factor of technology. The level design is sometimes good sometimes retarded like you mentioned, but the game doesn't do anything HL and U1 hadn't already explored with older graphics.

i'd agree with ulukai, although i didn't mind the crypt levels. they were pretty much just filler but zombies bursting out of the walls at you is always fun.

also, it's a bit easy on the normal skill level. but like it said in the PC Gamer review, in other games a lot of the time is taken up with tedious corridor walking, looking for switches etc whereas wolfenstein throws you from one fight to the next with no dull bits. you might want to wait a while till the price goes down if you're just looking for single player japes.

It's a tad linear, but it's alot of fun.
Seems like gray matter are big fans of NOLF, since the sp is almost identical in terms of gameplay. I prefer NOLF though, because while both games are extremely cheesy, NOLF is cheesy in a good way.

RTCW's mp is great though. I hear it's alot like Day of The Feet, but I wouldn't know... the Half Life engine gives me headaches as well :eek:

the multi player confuses me, it needs a simple death match mode where you can play as those big uber soldat robot things.

the first mission of episode 3 (where you have to enter the base through the forest without being detected) is the first one that has frustrated me, because of the way it plays and the way it makes the graphics look dull.
Other than that, it is superb, and I seem to be one of the only ones who liked the crypt levels - good old fashioned blastin'. I have one memory of turning round, seeing a zombie and emptying a clip into it at point blank range, and his facial features lighting up from the gunfire, which was cool.

As mentioned before, this game is about set-pieces - such as where a group of nazis shoot up at you from the room below and tear the floor apart, or where you encounter the first enemy with a mauser rifle and he is shooting you from a turret far away, and you see the gunflash, then hear the delayed bang... just little features like this, but lots of them, make the SP great.

Oh yeah, and the grenades kick mucho asso. :D

/me takes deep breath...

...another funny one is when you shoot a rope that holds a platform containing two barrels that drop down on the heads of two talking nazis, squishing them like the tiny german girly-men that they are.

just doesnt beat tracking a marine through odly shaped trees, to drop down infront of his un-seeing eyes and take his head clean off with one swipe of your combat stick/spear.

or creaping up on a marine from above, dropping down and biting his head off.

or being the cannon fodder/marine and being assaulted by whordes of skuttling xenomorphes... splatting their acid blood all over the scenery...

i don't recall doing that, must keep an eye out for it when i replay it.

i hope they bring out some sort of opposing force style expansion pack soon, i'm itching for some more single player stuff of that quality.

(edit...)

and the grenades suck, you throw them like a little girl and they have virtually no effect, same with the lack of splash damage on the RL. ah well, nothing's perfect.

it's in that chateau level

you don't have to drop the barrels on them - infact, it was more effective to just gun them down "manually" with the silencer, since the sound of breaking barrels alerted tons of guards...
