Wolfenstein Update

Wolfenstein multiplayer is helluva fun IMO. We're playtesting it at the office pretty much daily, and we'll be showing it off at QuakeCon. They have 12 systems that will be playing the game. 6 people can play Axis and another 6 can play allies.

Playing a Soldier with a Mauser rifle is by far my favorite. I love sniping the hell out of people and hearing them scream "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU ?!?!????" (Fred Nilsson and I are waging a private war on each other in WolfMP games to see who can snipe the other first) It's actually the most fun in a multiplayer game I've had since I got into CS (I got into CS after TA had shipped... yes. I'm lame =(

Yeah, I know what you're thinking... "You're biased Xian". Actually, no. If I think something sucks, I'll just flat out say it sucks and explain why I feel that way (http://aoforums.funcom.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40709 for example, which lead me to cancelling my AO account...) I haven't really had many complaints with WolfMP so far, and most of the comments were pointing out balance issues with the current maps which we and Nerve are working through.

WolfMP playtesting is one of those things I look forward to every day at the office =)

This should be fun.
However to those that are into GORE you will be disappointed. I spoke to a developer at E3 about the LACK of gore (and I mean NO BLOOD WHATSOEVER and nothing happening to enemies bodies after they die no matter what you shoot them with.) and he was bragging like it was a good thing. Broader audience, better rating, ($$$$$) blah blah. And I understand. It is after all a business and the final goal is to make a profit.
Plus we dont want to offend anyone here with lots unessasary blood. NAZI ENEMIES AND SATANIC THEMES ARE FINE WITHOUT BLOOD.

And of course right next to him was SOFII which was a gore fest by itself. You guys going to Quakecon be the judge.

Remember Kingpin? Great graphics, but otherwise a shitty story that relied to much on shock value of profanity. I'll give the company credit for trying new things, but I won't say they've executed properly in the past at all. Why else would they keep changing their name? So that people won't associate them with their shitty past games.

"Bah, who am I kidding. Regardless, I know I'm going to buy it the day it comes out."

Thats the real problem. Why dont you vote with your dollar? I dont understand rushing to go out and by something you feel is not ready? This is the same for the Microsoft Windows versions(updates) You buy shit then bitch about it later....unbelievable

I don't know, does anybody else think that this split mp/sp development is going to blow up in their faces? I guess I'm just not feeling too confident about the multiplayer in this game. They seem to be making a big deal about dividing up the workload but to me is just sounds like Gray Matter was busy working on the single player portion and realized that they had to implement multiplayer with little or no time left so they called in backup.

Bah, who am I kidding. Regardless, I know I'm going to buy it the day it comes out.

I'd lay her down and fucker her from all angles

looks like she has a bad overbite

i reckon this game is gonna be like Gunman, damn fun to play, but has nothing new

its awful but i think this game is gonna suck the poo, it looks thoroughly unimpressive and nothing new whatsoever. Theres just nothing that excites me when i look at the shots or videos.

Activisions Caryn Law (aka Hellchick)? She abandoned ship did she?

whoa..guns

(ill buy it anyway, its gonna rulez0r)

that and id games that werent designed with multiplayer in mind have been the best ones by far. look at q1 and q2 (i know this isnt made by id but there is a point). q3 just wasnt as fun =[

this game is gonna be fun
i jsut hope the multiplayer isnt really bad due to it being an afterthought

Well, maybe RTCW will meet that October 25 release date that Software Etc. has listed after all...
