Bad news..
I checked Kotaku today and I saw some bad news. Id Software's game, Wolfenstein, will not be released on August 4th and will be released on August 17th, according to Activision.

The company says that the reason for the delay was to "facilitate a simultaneous global release window" for the release of the game. Along with Bioshock 2, this shows a growing trend of games' release dates getting pushed back.

Of course, it isn't completely id Software's fault. id Software's annual QuakeCon falls on August 13th-16th and id Software promised an "exclusive look" of the game there, according to Shacknews.

Let's just hope that this extra time will allow developers to make these sequels as satisfying as possible. So for you guys who have been looking forward to buying the game, it looks like you will have to wait a bit longer.

i love the classes they look so cool :banana:

Classes?

Anyway, if it won't keep original RtCW's feeling and climate, I don't see point even buying it.

It's postponed till the 18th actually. Northern Europe possibly even later, around the 21st.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org released the achievements for the XBOX360 single-player and multi-player.

Looking at the multi-player map names of those achievements it seems the screenshots leaked earlier are indeed correct (you can check them out in the opening post btw).

What worries me; too much XBOX360 and too little multi-player..

I'm assured it will be too little singleplayer as well...

Just try watching at some YouTube video (using "wolfenstein multiplayers gameplay"). Hu, seems that W:ET won't die so easily... (in other word : the multiplayer part is crap, the single part looks ok).

We better code ourself the next W:ET, would be easier

Even though the multiplayer is nothing short of generic, the single player campaign makes up for the online shortcomings. [...]

Where this game falls short is in the multiplayer. It's quite sad as well considering Wolfenstein has been a series people have played for years, and it's been because of it's great multiplayer. The biggest hindrance is the lack of game modes. You've got three options to choose from; Team Deatchmatch, Stopwatch, and Objective. Team Deatchmatch is self explanatory, but the other two modes are a little confusing. In Objective you have a piece of intelligence, which you either need to attack or defend. In Stopwatch, you have a location in a base, which you either attack or defend. If they sound incredibly similar it's because they are. So much so that it is difficult to distinguish between the two. Graphically the multiplayer is a huge step down from the single player campaign. In fact it almost looks like you're playing a different game. If multiplayer has any redeeming qualities it's the class systems that allow you to decide how you want to play across the eight maps.

If you're only in it for the multiplayer, Wolfenstein is not the best choice. However, the single player is a whole lot of fun with a good length and plenty of reason to play through more than once. If you're looking for a good single player FPS, pick up Wolfenstein, you won't regret it. Just don't expect a lot from the multiplayer.

by **fUnner** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 18:34

the only hope for the multiplayer is the pro mod.

players (who made the pro mod for ET:QW) are already working on it.
Making the hud more simplyfy.. real setting coming, when the code is avi

This game is the worsest game i ever played. The singleplayer is even worser than the multiplayer. I played it a few minutes and then i gave it away.

sure this is a bad news... omg...

sure it's not a innovative game.... it look very old school...
but it is not the worse one that it has never seen...
the obj was make a oldschool fpsgame bit different respect to CoD..
don't forget that these games wear the same label...
raven in my eyes don't fail.. but the market turn to another way...
bye bye :roll:
