Return to Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer test released!

satchmo

The RTCW multiplayer test has just been released, check out http://www.castlewolfenstein.com for links. Most of those will probably be chockablock, I got a nice fast connection to http://www.gamers.at/downloads/?Area=Demos#3551 although I don't know how long it'll be mirrored there for.

63.4Mb download

Will return with first impressions.

some more sites, but I can't confirm if they all work because they're all overloaded at the mo...

Kali

Apparently its based on the quake3 engine, screenshots I've looked at look less than impressive anyway, not nearly dark and atmospheric enough.. its a bit of a shame, although I'll reserve anymore judgement until I give it a go myself.

Otherwise roll on doom3.

Shinji

Damn this game rocks. Graphically it's nothing short of beautiful - atmospheric as hell - and the gameplay of this, admittedly limited, multiplayer test confirms that this is really one to watch in terms of online play. Think a cross between UT Assault and TFC, with definite elements of CS and the same kind of atmosphere as DoD *should* have...

Sheer brilliance. Can't wait for the full thing.

satchmo

Lovely graphics alright (the models are great), and it looks like it'll be a hell of a single player game too. The flamethrower's great fun.
Anyone know of any local servers? It gets quite laggy for me with pings over 150ish.

MindPhuck

It won't be there for long, so slurp while you can. Later, I will have a server up on kali, so stay tuned.

Mills

Brilliant stuff, needs a stable ping below 80 or so for best results tho, I was on a german server earlier pinging 200 and it was unplayable. Any chance of an irish server for this or is there one already up?

Praetorian

Thanks for sharing that Mindphuck. The other servers are dubh la daoine. Go raibh maith agat

1 hour 7 mins togo

Ah free ISDN in work and all the cdrs I need. (for d/l drivers and burning them of course) I wuv my job! (Now I just got to convince them that ADSL would be a key strategic paradigm shift or summit)

adnans

Oooohhhh.....

Downloaded last night. Can't wait to get home from work!!!

Enygma

Bah, doesn't work for me.
I get to the menu, try to start a Multiplayer game and it starts to load then kicks me back out to the menu.
Running Windows NT (Q3 runs fine).
Anyone got any ideas?

smoke.me.a.kipper

looks like it will be a great game. pity the only level included reminds me so much of DOD (shudder!! )

satchmo

My only gripe is that I think it should be easier to kill people - it would make it alot scarier if the turrets could actually mow people down, instead of having to concentrate fire on ppl for 3 seconds.

Snaggle

I like what they've done, it's pretty, you can't cut yourself on the corners of hills like you do in DOD, smoke grenades are wonderfully animated unlike Counter Strike, the sea looks good, the turrets feel good, the flame thrower is cool etc etc etc.

I'd like to gripe about the Q3 quality net code (as in unless it's changed by release time nobody will have fun playing this on modem, even on ISDN it lags and chugs), for a realistic game it takes way too long to kill people, and the models, although nicely animated, is kinda fakey feeling, comparable to the cartoony look of Half Life single player or TFC as opposed to CS.

I didn't think that RCW would have any potential as a multiplayer, but if they make it narrow band friendly then I could see myself playing it

amp

GAAAAHHH! I d/led it in work and forgot to bring it home. WÁNK!

Swifty

Its bloody class. The flamethrower is just the most fun gun to use in a game ever. I'm on a modem here and it isnt too bad. Bit choppy at times, but the LPBs had a fairly big advantage over me in a firefight. Hopefully they'll change the netcode to be more modem friendly before release. Theres still a singleplayer game aswell though, even if they dont.

Kix

Not all that happy an experience for me... all jumpy and twitchy. I guess my machine's to blame, although it's not all that bad a system. Pity really but I guess I'll stick to DOD for a while.

K

amp

Hmmm had a quick go there against Swifty and it's not bad at all. Feels good, sniper rifle is good, flamethrowers insane. Can't wait for s/p version.

Mr Pussy

Finally found a server that I can play on without 2-much lag.
GREAT GAME!
Cant wait 2 c the full SP and MP version
Any 1 know a release date 4 it? :rolleyes:
