Return to Castle Wolfenstein

I've gotten this game. The single player is like the original wolfenstein 3D game (that lead to doom and so on), but the multiplayer was designed by a whole different group of people.

it puts you on a team either the axis or allies on various maps, a trench warfar map, a beach assault map, and several urban warfare maps (I hate those, I don't last long enough to enjoy the game with them). Heck I am making a map for it in fact. It really teaches what successmachine was saying: you don't last more than 15 seconds.

the game engine is great (it uses the quake 3 arena engine). And as I have read has been a huge hit amoung the troops at fort benning.

The only thing I don't like about it is that they broke things into a class structure.

Soldiers: can use all weapons, mauser sniper rifle, tompson, mp40, flamethrower, sten, panzerfaust, ficticious chain gun.

Medic: carries tompson or mp40, has limited rounds, can drop med packs that will regenerate your health back up to 100 (the more medic that are on your team the higher max health you have up to 140). or if you are killed and laying onthe battle feild the medic can stick you with a syringe and you are magically back alive and able to fight.

Engineer: carries dynamite to blow game bjectives up, carries tompson or mp40, can defuse dynamite and can repair dammaged mg42s (they didn't get the fire rate right on thier mg42s by theway, in game they are much more like the mg38s)

Leutenant: carries a sten, tompson, or mp40. has bunoculars and call call artillery fire on a certain spot, drop smoke grenades to call airstikes or drop ammo for other troops to use. . . all of these skils magically regenerate over time.

I am somewhat disapointed with the way they did the game. . . there is littel teamwork unless you join a 'clan' that will hold tournaments wth other clans. . but stil the actual combat role dynamics is pretty unrealistic.

but without too much work they can make it much better.
