[Skott]

I'd welcome another Wolfenstein game. I just hope they dont make some trash game to cash in on the name. Hopefully it will be as good if not better than RTW.

 

[BFG10K]

I'm in.

 

[Leopardos]

There was no Robots in RTCW,
Its one of the best games in the world backthen !!

What a great memories...
ET wasnt as good at ALL...

And this one will fail. seems its going to be the same as modern FPS games as i predict.

 

[DeadFred]

Loved RTCW, please let it be similar.

 

[Rosieria]

This could be very excellent, or a great disappointment. Something to look forward to though

 

[lupi]

I haven't disliked a wolfenstein game yet, other than they could be longer.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

The last wolfenstein game was horrible. Hopefully they fix that.

 

[aigomorla]

why do i have a feeling its gonna be duke nukem all over again...

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

No multiplayer? Ahh crap

 

[Alamat]

No multiplayer? Ahh crap

That is unheard of! Do these guys actually think people would buy them just for the single player thing?
Looks like its gonna be.." I'll wait till its like $2.95 at Steam. "

 

[Bateluer]

No multiplayer? Ahh crap

Huh? Stripping unessential multiplayer from the game should allow them to focus on the single player and make a better game.

I'm sick of MP being tacked onto games where it clearly has no place. ME3, TR2013, etc.

 

[Skott]

I can live without MP if the single player game is strong.

 

[Grooveriding]

Looks like Activision/Blizzard are not involved, so there is hope for the game.

 

[Hinda65]

RTCW mp was a blast...anyone ever use to play on the locked box server???

ah the memories

 

[BFG10K]

There was no Robots in RTCW,

The Super Soldiers and Lopers were sort of robotic.

No multiplayer? Ahh crap

I don't think that necessarily matters (e.g. look at how successful Fallout 3 or Skyrim is).

 

[Anonemous]

ET was the bomb!

 

[runzwithsizorz]

RTCW one of my favorite games. I just am not sure if a "modern" setting will have the flavor of RTCW. I'll wait and see. HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I play a few games that aren't MP, and some that are I don't because of the smacktards that usually populate servers.
I was just used to the RTCW MP, and if they're cashing in on that name, it'd be nice if they kept the MP up to date as well.

I hope it's great.

 

[Maximilian]

Hmm sounds pretty cool. Never played any of the wolfenstein games though so i dunno what to expect.

 

[Dankk]

New trailer.

Looks like good fun. Pre-ordering will get you into the Doom 4 beta.

 

[SMOGZINN]

Alright! I'm looking forward to finding much bratwurst!

Oh, wait. I just followed the link. It is actually Wolfenstein 3D that they are making another sequal to.

Oh well, I guess I'll kill mechahitler again.

 

[CuriousMike]

Oh snap! That looks like some old-school fun!

New trailer.

RTCW was good, but ET is what made the game memorable. Even years and years after the free ET release, you could still find 64 player servers packed with a waiting list to get in.

Almost all modern MP shooters owe their design to ET; afaik it was the first to have accumulated experience over the course of a campaign (3+ maps). With the huge number of players that loved it, it was only natural most shooters that followed had some sort of experience mechanic.

Another thing that made ET great, was the ease of making maps and playing them. You just downloaded user made maps in seconds before the map started, which meant you as a map designer could simply upload your map to your server, and everybody could play it - a design feature sorely lacking in modern shooters (but probably because there would be no need for map pack DLC if thousands of user made maps were out there). I remember playing on a giant pool table, where the balls moved (and you could use them for cover).

Splash Damage (the ET makers) haven't come close to making something that good again, which is a shame. ETQW was fun (on the PC, not the console), and I played with some of the big names from ID in the alpha/beta which was cool.

Yep, after Diablo III I haven't bought anything Blizzard. Bought the Collector's Edition and everything only to be hugely disappointed.
