Isnt Wolfenstein Released today???

Forgot I'd pre-ordered this until it arrived in the post today. Sent it straight back under the distance selling rules. Too many fond memories of RTCW that I don't want to sully :(

Yeah I loved RTCW.. Still one of my favourite games of all time.. I'm so tempted to pick up a copy tonight.. I'm not so sure now.. Very mixed feeling about this.
 
OK I just picked up a copy from town and I'm installing now. My interest lies in Single player experience and a good storyline. Will report back in a couple of hours I guess...
 
I think it's ridiculous how people can judge it as a bad game within 5 minutes.

I play with vsync but the movement doesnt seem floaty at all, everything seems normal.

Well what we have here is a game clearly designed for the console !, I think all Us old RTCW fans will feel a little short changed, Anyone on this thread who has not played RTCW, go buy it for £5 and see what a good game it was ;)

SOF 3 was mentioned earlier and to Me it's giving Me similar thoughts & feelings thinking back to when I played that, reflecting back on 1 & 2

maybe We can never go back although it works very well for the Half life series..I don't know !
 
I cannot even play the game! Been waiting for nearly 8 years and as soon as I launch the game my TV says "Invalid Format" but I can hear the sound effects in the background. After having a quick Google it appears I am not the only one having this problem, ffs :(
 
Well, im not interested in MP but the SP is gong pretty well so far. The GFX seem to have been rushed in places but so far im enjoying it.

I posted some screens here.

Sounds like the default resolution its selected doesnt work with your TV. Any idea what resolutions it supports ? Im guessing somewhere theres a config file you can edit to fix it....
 
This game is a massive disappointment :(

Just seems so bland and uninspired compared to Rtcw.

If this was not wolf it would be an average game but it has a name to live up too and falls massivly short.

Seems decent enough according to metacritic :)

I absolutely loved RTCW, I'll be waiting for this to be on sale on Steam.

Fixed it :) Thanks for the suggestions though :)

I had to add something to the .exe target, it now reads:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Wolfenstein\SP\Wolf2.exe" +set r_displayRefresh "60"

I never played MP on RTCW or on this, but i loved the Sp. This just feels lacking to me.

Maybe im being harsh and you will like it, but for me the atmosphere of RTCW is not here.
 
Having played a bit more it seems to be blending elements of Crysis and Oblivion but still seems too close to the COD paradigm for my liking.

OK I've been playing this most of last night and have to say that in actual fact it's a pretty good game. It's not as absolutely knockout as RTCW was, but hardcore Wolf fans will definately want to play the single player and I'm sure the MP will be patched to fix any issues people may have.

I'm satisfied with my purchase.
