I thought the demo was to dark it is hard to see the guys. I am usually dead before I can find where they are.

I've had this game on my PC for over a year now, and while I beat the single-player in a few days, it's the multi-player aspect of the game that really hooked me on it - so much that I still play on a daily basis.

And as mentioned before, there literally are loads and loads of uber-cool mods to play on, not to mention various server sizes. I still think it's hella fun.

As for getting it on the-Box, I think I'll pass - I don't think I'd play all that well on it, especially since I'm so used to the KB/mouse combos on my PC, not to mention all the separate key bindings for sounds and/or phrases.

On another note, I can't wait until the add-on comes out for this game - it's long overdue, and just the thought of being able to bomb bridges and set up land mines makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside :)

Played the demo and liked it even less than the single player PC version. I may pick it up on sale just for multiplayer, but I virtually never buy a game for multiplayer alone. I like a good SP experience. My problem with Wolfenstein (PC and Xbox) is a lot like my dislike of UT2k3. It just doesn't feel like you're actually hitting them. You fire and fire without "seeing" any real effect -- frustrating and boring IMO. That's the main thing, but other issues of control and tightness seem to arise from that for me.

What do you mean by not seeing any real effect? Is that because of the automatic targeting?

Is this game on SPEED like Unreal:Tournament????
I need to get the demo i suppose...

I personally did not like Unreal for XBOX, i guess i'm more a Halo FPS shooter (or even Ghost Recon)

Barney1234 04-04-03 10:14 AM

Nah, not on speed like UC.
Heh, I turn the speed UP in UC to 125, cause I think it's too slow.

Halo is DREADFULLY slow.
I wind up hurting my hand cause I'm pushing too hard on the controller to make him go faster...

BTW, Halo2 will be faster!

I played through the PC version and thought it was just okay. I wasn't even giving this a second thought until I heard they're coming out with full multiplayer mode via XBOX LIVE. Plus it's more than just a port with what seem to be pretty large changes in gameplay etc.

Now I'm considering it pretty heavily.

No, it's not targetting or anything. It's just like you're shooting wooden dummies. It doesn't feel like there's anything there. The PC version had a similar problem but multiplayer was a little better, this one seems to have it in spades. I know it sounds a little odd, but it just seems so weird. Even in Halflife the enemies felt/seemed organic, but this game is just so lifeless.

By GR do you mean Ghost Recon? Those graphics are dated even on the PC.....

Just for those that are on the fence or need a little extra push, in this months EGM on page 115 you can find a $5 off coupon for Return to Castle Wolfenstein that can be redeemed at BB for either the PS2 or XBox releases.

MasterofDVD 05-28-03 01:24 PM

I'm so glad I caved in and bought this. Even if I've only hopped on to play a quick LIVE game it's stil a great game.

Not a real story driven FPS shooter but it doesn't have to be. I've spent a ton of time on the Single Player and Co-Op mode and had a blast.

I'm trying to get good before I really jump online with it.

Ralph Wiggum 05-28-03 03:02 PM

Jump online!

I enjoyed the single player game, but it is garbage compared to the fun to be had on Live. :D
