I usually wait for reviews to come out (are there any out yet?) but I caved in and bought the game on Friday at FutureShop. It was 69.99 CDN but one of the boxes was mispriced at $59.99

I'm in single player mission 2 now and so far it's pretty good! The catacombs with the zombies are creepy as hell!

Is it out? For PS2 or for PC? Unfortunately I have to get a new hard drive before I can buy it- my measly 13 GB HD is full.

P.S.- How do you like Florida? I just got back from where you are on Saturday...(visiting the in-laws).

I played Castle Wolfenstein and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on my C64 in the mid 80's.

Got RTCW today. Great game so far.

My Brother-in-Law got it Wednesday and now we all have it.
So far it's a great game. Single Player is a lot of fun and it is challenging, with what I've played so far. Multi-Player is fantastic. This will only get better as more maps are released. I love how you can file a 'complaint' after being waxed by a teammate. If this person accumulates enough, they get booted from the server!

After I install my GeForce 3 I got at BB, this game will always be on!

Delete some of that porn and install it.

I bought this on Friday. It wasn't on sale either. I bought the Tin. The first person adventure is about as good as Mortyr - I don't see why Mortyr was so ripped apart critically if this one does well. The multiplayer is buggy as all hell - this is a "GOLD" release?? For example - on one map everyone was walking through this closed gate. Also - the sound still crashes in it and the only way to fix it is to type /snd_restart. People are already cheating after only a few days of being out - One guy was using an invisible cheat. I think the multiplayer is piss-poor for a final release. I know they'll release a patch, but there's alot wrong here and they should've waited until the game was finished instead of trying to make the Holiday Shopping season.

It does have some good points, but I think they are overshadowed by the fact that this is way too buggy. I've only played the single player for the first few levels and so far it's average. I imagine it'll get better. It's certainly not worth the 60 bucks.

Either that or look into CD-R's

clear up your hard drive by burning it on disc to have room. I'll jump on playing this tomorrow night, but as much as I have played at E3 and on the multiplayer, it seems like a game I will love. the tin is nice. comes with a little iron on patch. Not sure if the regular comes with it aswell. Great tin case though

Ok, gone thru 3 single player missions so far and it's still pretty good. Not as good as NOFL or Half-Life but addicting nonetheless. Actually, it borrows a lot from these 2 games which is not necessarily a bad thing. From hearing conversations between guards, tram ride, stealth/sniping aspects, different locations of NOFL, to the creepy zombies, elite "ninja babes" guard of Half-Life, there's enough variety there to keep you occupied and the missions are quite long. Not a groundbreaking game but a solid 8.4/10 shooter.

Can't address the Multiplayer issues since I haven't tried it.

I almost bought this, but then I decided to wait on it. Best Buy will sometimes have the newer games on sale a couple weeks after the release. The only price I have seen it for is 54.99, I will get it when it's like 44.99.

Just buy it and when it goes on sale, take your receipt in and they will pay you the difference. That way you can play it now.

Thats a good idea, considering I've been wanting to play this game sooo bad. The price is the only thing that kept me away from buying it .

It won't run on my Dell laptop which has an ATI Rage Mobility chip. The error says that it won't open the OpenGL subsystem. It's odd because the chip supports OpenGL and Quake III Arena runs on the laptop no problems.

I've posted a question on the Activision web site to see what the problem is.

13 gigs? Is that all? I'd have that filled in no time. I've got about 60 gigs of space, all nearly full. I downloaded 1.5 gigs of mp3s on Saturday alone. Time to purchace some more hard drives.

Man - that's alot of porn.

I have 2 60GB Seagates in Raid0 so it's like one 120GB HD that's super fast. It's not full though - I don't collect porn.

SPOILER ALERT

Ok - I spoke too soon... I got to the catacombs mission and now I freakin love this game. At first I thought it was blah and boring, but I'm amazed at these crazy zombie things... scary. And the freakin fire breathing one was great... I thought I'd only run into that guy once but then oh look - here's a bunch of them. The AI is astounding... not that the AI is good, but they way it's implimented is so great. AI is very tough to program to make characters act human because it's all so robotic and emotionless... but these zombies are perfect for it - the zombie AI is fantastic... the zombie with the shield is great - you shoot at him and he'll deflect your shots back at you - genius. Plus they pop out of the walls behind you every time you're trying to kill one in front of you and you turn around to see what's hitting you and you crap your pants. Wow... I like this game much more now... I may change my mind again if it gets lame again...

The CG intro is awesome. Very cinematic. The music, at least during the intro, install screens, and first level, is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely, positively movie-quality. I thought they hired James Horner or Jerry Goldsmith.

Ahhhh, Wolfie!
I've been playing it a few days and it has really grown on me. I still prefer Red Faction, the other new game on my PC, but this one is bringing back memories...

Well I told you so.

What I like is that all the missions I've played so far (4) are VERY different. I like the variety, no time to get bored and a different sort of challenge every time.

Yeah - after the first two levels, it starts to get pretty diverse... I wasn't expecting those things - I like how that was all introduced. This game is alot like No One Lives Forever in many ways - especially with the cowering civillians... those hot little french maids. One of the game music tracks is from the movie Predator - I smile every time it plays.
