Best Game I've ever played!!

Well, what can I say. I've been a fan of 3d-First Person Shooter games ever since the original Wolfenstein 3d back in the day. I'm now 22, and I'm fraggin' away almost just as much. I've played them all (3d FPS games), and I have to say this game steals the crown away from Quake 3. Quake 3 was, ever since it came out, the #1 game in my opinion. This game has just defeated it. It uses the same engine (albeit an enhanced form of it) that Quake 3 uses, but the realism is what really glues you to the screen on this game. I have a DSL connection, I get good ping times and the first time I loaded up the demo, I was amazed at how, you're sitting there loading up your weapon, standing behind a cement pillar on the beach of Normandy (the demo looks like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan), and you can see the tracers of bullets whizzing by you. As you run towards another cement pillar, the Nazi's tripod-mounted MG-42's start trying to annihilate you, and you see the bullets hitting inches in front of your feet, and they actually kick up the sand! Explosions rock the screen you're looking at depending on how close you are. The sound of the actual-WW2 weapons sound very realistic. This game is awesome, it is strategic yet 3d-action at the same time. If you fall from high up, you die. If someone starts shooting you, you die quick. It's great, and it is a true teamplay-based game. Thumbs-up to id Software for AGAIN creating a masterpiece :)

The New Standard for On-Line Team Games

Incredible eye-candy graphics, realistic stereo sound, well balanced weapons, no silly running and jumping abilities and real damage when you are hit.

But the real gem here is the team play. You NEED to have a team balanced with soldiers, medics, engineers and lieutenants. Because of their unique abilities (and limitations), it requires you to help each other (unlike the independent-semi-team play of Quake III).

This is a must have just for the online gaming (although the single player does look like it has a promising story and missions).

After playing the mulitplayer demo for the first time (One level for 4 hours straight) I must say that I am very very impressed by the job that Gray Matter has done with this project. Of course, id Software games are always groundbreaking, innovative, and just downright fun to play. I have absolutely no gripes even for seeing one simple level and the preview movie. I reccomend this game to anyone who likes war simulations too. It's not completely realistic, but when a member of the axis team comes down the steps and pins you in a corner with a chaingun.... sometimes the feeling can get to you of what it would have been like to be in the war.
VERY GOOD GAME!

I just played the multiplayer demo and I predict that Return to Castle Wolfenstein will be in the list of top games of 2002. The graphics are better than Counter-Strike. RTCW also has a interesting strategic element--the various professions (soldier, engineer, doctor, and lieutenant). And I like the World War II theme (Axis vs. Allies).

Alle haben auf dieses Spiel gewartet und es ist eingeschlagen wie eine Bombe bei den Spielern. Die Atmosphäre in dem Spiel ist sehr gut (wie in Undying), Animationen der Gegner sind hervorragend und die Grafik im ganzen ist auch noch sehr gut.
Mehr als kaufen kann man eigentlich nicht mehr sagen.
Let's buy it and try it. You habe to see it for yourself

Soon to be the best FPS

Soon to be the best.... that is, it will be once all the other Quakers and UT buffs play RTCW. It is simply the most oustanding game to date. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics-spectatular. If you love any of the Quakes or UT you WILL want RTCW. And there are no lock-ups. And its not the typical "run around and kill everything" kind of game either. You have objectives to meet, and there is teamwork. Something not seen in any other FPS. This is a must have for Christmas!

Best FPS yet..

This game is the next evolution of the Quake III engine and runs so seemless that most peoples' computers will not be able to fully appreciate this game. Coding is excellent, computer generated enemies have the highest level of AI ever seen in FPS.

The maps and missions are excellent and require both skill and luck. Levels change with the placement of enemies and power-ups resulting in a game that is both challenging and able to replayed several times.

Beautiful graphics including weather and sky texturing that is the best ever developed.

Yes, the game is dark and scary for some. But, the game is also set in WW II and in a dark and scary castle. If you want a sunny and happy game, might I recommend Pokemon or Super Mario Brothers.

Best yet...It will be hard to beat!

The Single Best Level of Any FPS - Ever

It is worth it to buy this game in order to play the "Bombed out City" level.
Climbing, dodging & shooting in building rubble, fires etc., with enemys all about is simply outstanding.

RtCW is destined to become a classic.

Endless Fun

The enemy AI is a welcome challenge. Multiple enemies, with good aim, and if you don't hit them right away, they run and wait for you to find them, with gun ready of course. I am an avid FPS player and just the challenge of the game is enough to keep hardcore gamers happy.
