... why oh why did every other FPS game genre copy CoD and its gameplay and completely overlook Wolf...

Because CoD is the McDonald's of the fps world!

I was thinking about CoD and the affect it's had on fps while playing BC2 tonight. For all the advancements in tech and the additions of vehicles and physics etc, current fps have taken a step back when it comes to gameplay. RTCW was considerably more demanding than CoD/MoH and BF/BC (and CS if we're being fair) when it came to aiming, movement, teamplay and tactics - the problem is that demanding alienates. It's much safer for a developer to produce a slow moving, iron sight spamming fps in which it takes 1 or 2 bullets to kill. The amount of luck and randomness this results in levels the playing field to the extent that anyone can jump on and have some fun. This is all good - it's just a shame it's killed off the shooters that required uber skills in the process.
 
I gave up hoping to find a game that will rival RTCW and ET a long time ago, absolutely epic games, even more so when you consider ET was released for free.
 
Amazing games. I was hooked onto ET for a very long time, clan matches where just far too epic. Every class in that game was just fun to play, made a lot of friends who im still in contact with today. I used be in DH|
 
I can't get RTCW to run properly in Windows 7 x64. Mine keeps crashing and going all glitchy on me. I really need an XP partition for some of my old games.:(

Such a good game. I remember getting it for Christmas in 2001 and played it all over Christmas to death. :D

I bought it on Steam and it doesn't even launch. Something about newer graphics cards offering up too much of something which it hates. Apparently you can modify this in the graphics card settings but I haven't played around yet.

I'm also struggling to see what patch version the Steam version is on. AND I don't think it comes with the GOTY Map Pack :(

I really wish they'd test it (either id or Valve) and tell you what systems it runs on. Or better yet actually offer an update. But no :rolleyes:

Sounds like You have an ATI GFX card, good old AMD :rolleyes: seems to have left out Open GL support...Hopefully you can install an older driver(or hack the ini file if it's a newer card) I think 10.1 cats were around the last that worked properly
Make the effort it's among the best ever PC games ;)
 
Awesome, awesome game.

I used to play as SuperTed - aww, even seeing that written out again brings back memories!:p

Was an ace game. The first online one I ever play. Completely brilliant.

Tram was an amazing map.

Hah, I vaguely remember having some sort of macro or exterior program to make your name do funky stuff (in essence just changing your name several times a second). Loved it. :D
 
RTCW greatest team multiplayer game of all time, hands down! used to play as BoNeS. Gonna have to get this on steam later and relive some old memories :D used to play with Nnc? and Chevron. Used to be able to sit there for hours playing beach constantly, it never got boring.
 
Played RTCW & ET with the Mystery Clan many years ago. And think Papa's Tram server may or may not be going still.

I still say (sad get) "I'm constructing" when doing any DIY :)

RTCW was my first online pc game I got hooked on. 3-4 hours every night on my 56k modem. The beach level was awesome. Used to camp in the hq room as a nazi and have chat sessions with other people camping in there and waste any fools trying to steal our ****. Good times.
