Ok after seeing tosspot's news and since I'm mega bored at work let's guess when and how the game will be.
My thoughts, game summer / after summer, maybe they try to rush to it for april / may for quakecon.
I think the game will be pretty sucessful, atleast in the beginning, with a lot of competitions (quakecon 09 or 10) and with a lot of money involded and pretty knowns MGCS (like cod4, SK, fnatic...).
ur guess? ;P Also, will ppl swap or will keep playing ET?

Would be great if you could give me a link <3
only when cpma brought it a little towards quakeworld did it feel good
Oh, and the gameplay of ETQW is very similar to ET right now with the help of hannes and so on. Since Wolfenstein is based on the same engine as ETQW (idtech4) I predict gameplay will be very similar. There is strafe jumping in ETQW too, which is not that different from ET
A note about FPS and hardware requirements. Remember ETQW was based on ridiculously huge maps, one reason for such problems with the FPS. On the other hand, Wolfenstein will most likely have similar sized maps to ET and RTCW, with no vehicles, planes and so on. The multiplayer is gonna be very simple, just like ET.
Wolfenstein is being developed by Raven on the ID Tech 4 engine. Proven to have failed on Doom 3 and ET:QW.
I don't understand how you can not see the difference. The fact that it's a sequel doesn't mean it will technically be just as good and great to play. It's a totally different engine, developed on by a totally different software company. Ofcourse it's going to be different!
I hope I'm wrong ofcourse and that it will rock but I have my doubts.
I recommend you play games for a couple of more years, at which point you'll be able to play a game for 24h and tell wether its utters shit, somewhat mediocre or brilliant.
Why did cod grow so big? It started out as an unknown ww2 shooter using an outdated engine. For some reason ppl kept playing it (maybe cause it put gameplay > new gfx and engine) and the develloper kept releasing sequels using the same outdated engine, not rly investing too much time and effort in mindblowing gfx.
So yeah, the game engine makes half the gameplay. just look at TF2 or Mirrors Edge. Devellopers need to realize the gfx should complement the game. If you make a singleplayer sneaking game à la Thief, you want the gfx to be immersive, soundfx in eax 3d etc. In multiplayer the immersion comes from the gameplay itself, so theres no need for fancy gfx in which case it makes sense to use an older engine (which needs 0 devellopment time) and stick to cartoonlike gfx.
Ofc RTCW2 wont realize this and the gfx will be teh pwn. Well basicly RTCW2 will suck. Just like ETQW did. Just like any other shooter did in the last 8 years.
Old gameengine = gameplay
New gameengine = gfx
I know what to pick ...
but it still is nowhere near as good as the quake 3 engine
If not, I prolly quit gaming or playing et just for fun
there is small chance that multiplayer will be awesome, W:ET style with improvement we all want, but thats unrealistic imo.
so this one will propably rock , Im getting bored of ET ,I would play more COD 4-5 if they were a bit slower. It takes some serious effort to become a fragger on 50 slot pub .
You know what I mean.
so basicly : WW2 theme,new graphics,based on once revolutionary game.
Buy new PC's and start saving money for genuine copy.That game deserves to be bought.
jk :p
Hogy vagy?
damn i hate life
they will swap.
anyway... I want to buy new PC just because of RTCW2!
ofc i will buy if i like the game
- wtf i have to shoot for ages before they die :'(
- wtf this shit lags
- wtf i want my picmip 5 config back :'(
- damn this game sux
- what lvl2 fops? i can spam arty every ally spawn now?
- lvl3 fops gives double strikes, nice
- lvl4 fops = i love this game, fuck yeah!!!
I am hoping for fast gameplay and few spammy weapons
And yes people will swap from et. If its like RtCW when ET was released then there will be 0 activity, apart from some players who have never heard of wolfenstein 2
first off multiplayer balancing will be most likely made after release. this includes things like competition based settings and proper weapon balancing. so people might complain about shitty balance and fps and quit!
the only thing which makes people eager to see it is that it is the official RTCW successor. would it be developed by a different team / under a different name people would not really care.
PS: nevertheless I really hope it will be great!
We'll see soon I geuss
but that's just due to wanting to upgrade a computer but have other priorities for where my money is heading toward at the current time.
i think you will see a lot of new faces to the scene and hopefully it will bring a lot of the old ones back.
however et is on its very last legs no matter what. if wolfenstien is good then it will kill et, if it's not then i still think et will be severely punished with a lot of people losing all hope.
i would say at this very point in time, a lot of people would only be playing ET to kill time for the new wolf.
if it fails i can still skip to the next game, whatever it is :D
Though if the game will be a little bit good I'll still play it, any game with wolfenstein in it makes me cum
I will prolly quit playing after army service due my uni studies!(LOL dunno when I gonne get in one :) ]
