Return To Castle Wolfenstein worth $19.99 (plus 10% off)? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Ravenous · 12-05-2002, 08:41 PM

I saw this game in the local paper and its on sale for only $19.99 at Best Buy! Plus I have a 10% off coupon. Pretty damn sweet. I love FPS and this game has gotten some good reviews. What do you guys think? Is this a must purchase? What are your views on the single player missions and Multiplayer Online missions?

Hell yeah!

It's got great gameplay. It plays differently from other FPS'ers like MOH:AA, but that's not to say it's bad, just different.
It's got excellent graphics and challenging levels, without being impossible.
Some levels **COUcatacombsGH* are actually scary. No kidding.

Am I missing anything?

All in all, you can't go wrong. Certainly not for $20.

I found the graphics somewhat dated, even though the GOTY edition was released earlier this year (but I believe it was originally released late last year). Personally, I found the single player mode rather boring, and that the multiplayer is really where it's at. For under $20, I think it's a worthwhile purchase, and the expansion pack Enemy Territory, due early next year, should add to the replay value.

You found the graphics dated? What are you playing, now?

UT2K3 (in High detail, naturally

)
MOH:AA Spearhead
Battlefield 1942

RTCW has a bled, tie-dyed look to the textures everywhere; it's really a turn-off for me.

Well I got it for $18.99! Pretty sweet. I wont install it till Next week though after Im done with finals. Should be pretty cool. I want to finish with the One Player game of BF1942 first too though. I love that damn game but keep playing the multiplayer! lol.

I hope the Medal Of Honors go for this cheap. I'll be getting those as soon as they do.

I think that RTCW is better than MOHAA.

I thought that was just part of the ambience. It the way they colored the textures that gave it a dusty look. I saw the "tie-dyed" look you saw as worn-out clothing. Exposed threads, white-ish elbows and seams.

I thought the graphics (in high detail, naturally

) were excellent. At least, it uses the same engine as MOH:AA and Spearhead.

UT2K3 uses the Unreal Engine, but what does B1942 use? Curiosity.

If anyone wants to play MOH:AA or WtCW on-line, just drop me a PM with an AIM or MSM accnt.
