Hi guys! What's up?
I got a new game called Return To Castle Wolfenstein. It's an old game, but I heard it's good, especially the multiplayer. By the way, it's the Extended Edition, therefore it has RTCW: Enemy Territory. ;)
Impressions (Single-player):
Unlike in the original Wolfenstein 3D, only a handful of the single player missions in Return to Castle Wolfenstein take place in the infamous castle/prison. The single player game takes place in Nazi-occupied Europe during 1943 and revolves around U.S. Army Ranger William "B.J." Blazkowicz, who, along with another agent, is sent to investigate rumors surrounding one of Heinrich Himmler's personal projects, the SS Paranormal Division. The agents are, however, captured before completing their mission and are imprisoned in Castle Wolfenstein.
Taking the role of Blazkowicz, the player must escape the castle and continue investigating the activities of the SS Paranormal Division, which include research on resurrecting corpses, biotechnology, and secret weapons. During the game the player will face numerous foes, including Waffen SS soldiers, elite Fallschirmjager (paratroopers), legions of undead creatures, and horrific Ubersoldaten(supersoldiers) formed from a hideous blend of surgery and chemical engineering co nducted by Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse. The end boss is an undead Saxon warrior-prince named Heinric I.
Well, that was the story, and what I could say is that it's great. It keeps the same atmosphere and gameplay as in Wolfenstein 3D which was an awesome game at its times. I didn't have any problems with bugs and glitches during the game so far, therefore I experienced its full potential.
Impressions (Multiplayer):
Wolf MP is an objective game mode, in which both the Axis and Allies have a series of objectives to complete to win the round, with one team's objectives normally preventing the other team from completing their objectives. There are primary and secondary objectives. Primary objectives have to be achieved to win the round, where secondary objectives don't necessarily need to be achieved, but can aid in certain ways in completing primary objectives. Primary objectives include blowing something up, or escaping with the documents, and secondary objectives include capturing flag/spawn points.
As far as the clases are concerned, medics can leave medic packs to heal comrades, but can run out of ammunition quickly. Lieutenants can provide packs of ammo, as well as calling for air strikes, but need a medic to stay alive. Engineers are able to blow up walls using dynamite. Lastly, ordinary soldiers can choose between four different heavy weapons.
On a side note, despite advocacy on the part of some of the player base, a few weapons were left out of Wolf MP, most notably the Tesla Gun and the FG-42 Paratrooper rifle.
The only thingy I observed annoying in multiplayer, is that the Thompson is the most effective weapon in the game. Really, it's very effective. It's true. Check this chart I found on Google.
Overall:
Overall, I feel that this game is great and it's worth the money. Don't forget this is just a preview. I just finished Level 3 so, be aware! ;)
