User Rating: 8.3 | Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory PC
Everyone is posting a review explaining how this game makes sense for being free, i disagree with them, due to one factor. I believe they played the game maybe only a few rounds and got absolutly destroyed. This game has a freakishly hard learning curve. People do NOT die. you need to unload clip after clip into them, but still they need to do the very same to you. I think if they played a little more, they would grow to appriciate it and have alot of fun. well wnough of that. on to my review.

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, is a game that was origionally being compiled as an expansion pack for the hit game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The people at Id decided to scrap the single player componant and release the multiplayer as a free download. (that was sure nice of them) The game features 4 different classes that you can choose from on either side the axis or allies. you can choose to be an engineer, soldier, covert ops and, medic. All have their own special traits, and come supplied with their own different weapons to choose from. Flamethrowers, rocket launchers, mortars, mp40's thompsons, the works. This game is truly a team based shooter at its core, without your team working together you are bound to fail. you are not given much ammo at the start, so you better hope there is atleast 1 engeneer. You can call for them via the wuickchat menue and they can bring you extra ammo. they can also build mg42 turrets and such for missions where you are defending.
Well i agree with everyone saying that the graphics are blase' ,but this game was released 3 years ago. Give it a break. It isnt fair to compare its graphics to COD2 ont he 360 or BF2. Plus it gives you a real feel of nastolgia when you see your health icon. It realy makes you relive the days of doom, doom 2, and wolf 3D. Thats it, you got a head that takes damage and looks around, but this time hes in fully 3d and looks cool. Not many people will enjoy that little thign they added in, but it braught joy to me. All of the models look weak tho, but if your enjoying yourself it shouldn't really matter to you. The graphics are poor i do admit, but for when it was released they are not too bad.
The sound is also weak, the guns do sound under powered and such, but the voices are funt o hear, especially hearing the germans communicate via quickchat.
The only thing that acctually matters here is the gameplay, and that is where this game truly shines. It is extremely fast passed nonstop action. There are explosions guarenteed to be going on around you all the time, and fire bursting from flamethrowers as well as smoke grenades thrown and bullets flying at you through the smoke. its a top knotch online gamming experience that should not be overlooked by any FPS afficianado. Even if its just to try it it, it hink you should atleast give it that much of your time. its worth it. I am sure anyone who loves FPS games can learn to have fun with this. i give it an 8.3
