Whos idea was it to through zombies, nazis and cyborgs into one installment of Wolfenstein. At times it feels like playing 3 seperate games, like a coctail of concepts encapsuled in a familiar game logo.
For the fellow who thought the game was difficult, try aiming for the head (they die quicker that way).
Yah and the Uber Soldats are panzies with A.I. of a grasshoper (hint: it can't shoot you if it is chasing you around a corner of a wall or a pillar, exposing it's "unarmed" left arm to your fire). One can kill them by the dozens with out getting harmed.
One last rant, even though it proved to offer a diverse pallet of enemies through out the game. Most battles revolved around 1 to 3 enemy units. I want larger numbers of units outnumbering me. Rather then 1 or 2 guys with 1000 hit points. Get an entire platoon after me ( I am a peoples person realy ).
goood but ahhhhhh ummmmmm

Maybe the game had too much hype, but after nearly completing the single player and playing the multi-player for several weeks, I am rather disappointed. The single player missions for the most part are boring and repetitive. I'm comparing it to Half-Life and it is nowhere even close to the quality of the single player. What is really shocking are the graphic defects present in the game - guns appearing through walls, dead soldiers hovering a few feet above ground, some cheesy AI, but better than most. The multiplayer is much more enjoyable, and uses many of the single player maps. I'll be selling it and buying Medal of Honor when it comes out.
I played the original

I was in college when the orignal Wolfenstein came out. I spent many late nights playing that game. I couldn't believe it when I heard they were remaking it with today's gaming technology. It turned out better than I could have imagined. The graphics are unbelievable! Excellent game.
Excellent FPS Game

Wolfenstein 3d was one of the best dos games ever, and RtCW is even better. This game really pushes the Quake 3 engine to the max. The gameplay is deep and addictive, some of the best I've ever played. I nearly had a heart attack when I busted into a room full of unsuspecting nazis and people shot from below me and broke the floorboards. The weapons range from Luger pistols to tesla guns. Buy it, it is great.
It's decent, but it's not worth upgrading your computer for.

In my opinion, I wasted my money upgrading my computer at a cost of nearly $600 to play this game in it's 'full glory.' Although it is a nice game, it certainly doesn't live up to any hype and in many aspects it feels like a rehash of Doom and the Quake series.
...
I spent $350 on an Xbox and Halo, and I can say without a doubt that was the best investment I ever made in the games industry.
Not as good as Medal of Honor Allied Assualt

Medal of Honor beats it in Graphics, Gameplay, Control and every other catagory other then Blood. It has alot of Blood which is funner but you can also download blood for MOHAA.
Save your money

Save your money, RTCW is the latest overrated dissappointing first person shooter to come out. AI? None. Graphics? Quake Plot? Essentially none. Major step backwards from HalfLife and Unreal. Still trying to figure out how I was imprisoned in a nazi castle yet got my mission objectives. The graphics are incredibly dissapointing. There was no sense of discovery and the unknown like in Halflife. The AI was nonexistent (when you get to the guard behind the bullet-proof glass and you jump up and down and shoot at him and he just stands there you will understand). If you have nothing better to do I guess it will provide the first person shooter fix, but you will be left dissapointed. Play Halflife again, it is more fun even the second time.
Good game!

This game looks amazing! When I got this game I realized the graphics were pretty good for a computer. I love the new weapons in the game even though they could have added a bit more. The game however is a bit short, so I beat the game in no time with the help of a few friends for some of the puzzles. The thing that is really good is the graphics and the the totally awesome multiplayer mode. I love it! My only wish is that it comes out for my XBOX, PS2, OR GAMECUBE. Activision did a good job in the making of this game and in seems to be sucessful. I was a big fan of wolfenstein 3d having beat the last boss guy that says something in German when He sees you. After you escape, you give a loud whoop of joy and it was over..Boring! This game is awesome and I recommend you to get this game.
