ONe thing is certain RTCW is in my personal list of fps games.
Unfortunately,the storyline of the game and some Nazis symbols made a terrible storm in some European countries ,most of it in Germany.
A new version of RTCW appeared on the market after some minor changes were done.
The storyline,names,flags,runes were changed.At that time in Germany it was considered a crime to order or own the American version of the game.
Despite this the game was popular at that time here in Europe.
Ok, so in the game you enter under the skin of B.J. Blazkovicz who works for a fictive American organization called organization for secret actions.
Surprised by a cult in the middle of a secret mission,you are kept prissonier in castle Wolfenstein.
With this unpleasant picture in your head,you take on the cellar gard you were in and you will go armed with a pistol and a knife to find the exit from the castle.
On this story who has more then twenty missions,you will go even in far Norway, and short after for the grand finale you will return to castle Wolfenstein.
The backround story is pretty interesting:
-A cult is trying to resurrect bodies to use them as super soldiers.It is clear that you have to stop this madmen.
RTCW is full of variety and you will never see a haotic battle.The idea is to have permanently everything under control.
Key words are – big guns for big enemies,strong foes must go down first;using surprise attack or hiding you will have a good chance take them out.
Every time you get spotted a alarm will be heard and soon after you will get company.
To survive in the game you will have to stay in the dark (in some missions) or the battle will be fierce.
The graphics of the game are good but I admit the programmers of the game took out the best they could with the Quake 3 engine.
For the texture design the flew in Germany to picture walls,floors,and doors of the castles and other old buildings.
You will not need more than twenty – twenty five hours to complete the game but you will have loads of fun in multiplayer mode.
In RTCW they are 3 multi player modes and 8 maps,15 weapons(also available in single player mode).
RTCW is another shooter that you will encounter : wise enemies ,the atmosphere is good, and you will get a tactical mission from time to time to not get bored.
One thing is certain Return To Castle Wolfestein worths playing and is in my personal favorite fps games list.
