iv played the full version's single player all the way throo (wich by the way only took about 7 hours) and this game is pure [...] from start to finish the only thing i liked about this game was the box art :<) everything els in this game compaired to released and upcomming games is pathetic this in my view is pretty much TFC with q3 graphics and none of the fun and the multiplayer is almost as sad as the single player game it gets tired after about 2 hours the best map wich also isnt that great is the beachmap from the demo i resold this game back to EB and reserved ALLIED ASSAULT wich just from looking at it seems to be the best ww2 game out for a while so anyone hungering for a WW2 game wait til FEB when ALLIED ASSAULT comes out it will actually be a WW2 game and not some fake attemp to revive an excelent classic

Although Max Payne runs great on my system, this program fails to run. . . many video issues. Save your $. No refund after pkg opened!

Huh? Are you people blind?

Ok, first of all the ideas for Castle Wolfenstein are not new. Download a free copy Day of Defeat and you'll see where Castle Wolfenstein got the ideas for it's "New" game....I'm a diehard fan of the Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake line, and if I don't see something better soon I'll have to place this game with my Quake 3 (yawn) -in the trash.

Pretty good but hardware raping

Yeah its a pretty good game and i've played the mp testdemo very much the last weeks, but im afraid that my hardware is not capable of this game. Ive got an athlon 1400 and gf2gts, and when im outside in the beachmap my frames run down to 30, no matter if i choose low detail or high.
I hope it's because of the beta status, if not i wonder what id did with the q3 engine..........

WARNING!!! KEYBOARD ONLY!!!

Just got it, read "Not for joystick", but maybe soon a newer version. What's that? Needs keyboard, lots of commands. I'll probably try it, but for $50, I expect it Joystick compatible!!!

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.

Agreed - video compatibility issues...dont blow [your money]!

I have a pretty up to date system, but Castle Wolfenstein wouldn't run--video issues. I went to the company's website and this is a known bug.

They suggest several ways of fixing the problem: 1) buying another video card (the list of supported video cards isn't listed on the box I don't think! 2) changing the display of your computer to 640x480 and using 16 bit color 3) editing your configuration files

I hesitate to change my system's parameters for the sake of any game, nevertheless, I did try to change my system to 640x480 and it didn't work. I'm even less likely to go out and purchase another video card--especially when they're giving out three different answers.

[At] the store where I purchased Wolfie...they told me that since the package was opened, they could only exchange the software for the SAME thing. They told me to go to the company that made it for a refund. Looking at the customer support at the back of the manual, they say to go to retail outlet. I called back [the store] and told them that the way I saw it, we had a contract...I gave them money...and in return I got a game. Instead I got a useless CD. Grudgingly, they made an exception and I got a refund.

A day later and my email to the company has gone unanswered...but what did I expect, eh? I think they should have tested this game under more platforms than they did. Also, I bought the game to play--not hack config files. My system uses true color and a higher resolution--I don't know why the game won't play with that.

I recommend that you double, triple check with the company that makes this software for a guarantee that your system will truly run this game--otherwise you might be out [the purchase price]!

why the freaky creatures?!

I borrrowed the game from a friend and installed it on my computer (p3 866 mHz, GF2 64mb, 256 mb ram) and at first had no trouble playing it. I was kind of impressed by the whole thing at first, but probably maily because it was the first shooter i played in about 1 year...
Then it happened: i tried to pause the game and my computer froze. first time in the game. from then on, every time i stopped moving for about 1 minute, the game froze. Quite annoying, but i can live with it...
But when i continued into the tomb, 2nd objective or something, i noticed the zombies and skeletons. After i emptied about 100 rounds at the BULLETPROOF shields of the skeletons (from an age when bulletproof armour didnt exist) i got fed up with the whole thing and decided i didnt like the whole skeleton, zombie, freaky stuff. Not my kind of thing. The next thing i did was press the uninstall button...
I guess i should wait for medal of honour, since that should be great...

Whaaaaa???????

Well, well, well. I liked the first couple levels that reminded me of the classic. Then it got rediculous, and I was fighting legions of undead because the programmers decided to GIVE THE NAZIS A HOLIDAY and let invincible Zombies murder me instead.

So much for the good ol' revenge shooter. Is it just me, or is killing zombies kinda redundant? I mean, they're already dead, and don't make for a villian that makes me go, "Woo hoo!" when I've killed them.

Basically the programmers COULDN'T DECIDE WHETHER TO MAKE DOOM 3 OR WOLFENSTEIN first, and decided to slap the two together.

You basically have here WOLFEN-DOOM, complete with an INVINCIBLE ARMY OF NAZI JUGGERNAUTS, and a legion of INVINCIBLE NAZI ZOMBIES.

But I liked it. You should check out the demo or something.

more of the same...

The graphics are nice, very smooth (with my graphics card anyway, can't say for yours) and the single-player levels are innovative. Compared to some of the older FPSs out there like quake and unreal the levels are interesting and fun. About on par with half life or HALO. Multiplayer beats the older generation of games, but is about on par with some of the shareware half-life mods. I've noticed that most of the people that really rave about it don't play many of the newer games, though your results may vary. As far as I can see, nothing new here.
