For a second there I thought it said 'anus' and was wondering just what the heck was Blue was trying to tell us.

I was the under impression that they were the initial designers for the latest Wolfenstein MP but then it was given to someone else. Such a shame

I haven't played it, but hearsay is that it's quite literally exactly the same as the first version, just prettier: no extras or anything of that sort at all.

Perfection doesn't need anything added.

It's a bit hard to believe that they have the audacity to charge $20 for this.

OMG I KNOW RITE!? It's Serious Sam, they could have easily charged $40 bucks for this. Or if you want, let's play a little math. Let's say your typical Halo, Bioshock, Borderlands, Doom 3, Wolfenstein, etc. etc. averages about 50-100 baddies per level. Probably a bit generous but roll with it.

Well with Serious Sam -- and my memory might be a bit vague on this (glue huffin -- you understand) but I think there were about 50-100 baddies just to get through the installer prompts! These Croteam bastards didn't mess around! While the publisher of the original Serious Sam said it wasn't a good idea to make the installer challenging, Croteam just casually reminded them that their country just fought a civil war and that the entire team was adept with heavy weapons so naturally the bad guys stayed in the installer.

So, given that there's about 10000% more baddies in Serious Sam then the combined numbers of the game mentioned they could easily charge us about 1000% more on the price and we would STILL be getting a good deal on this game. Do you realize how many people that could feed in Croatia? Probably all of them with enough left over to turn Albania into a big Croatian run brothel. And really, who doesn't want that!

I think that's the first preview I've seen that actually made the game look interesting. A MMO that plays like Starfleet Command could be a lot of fun.

Try Necrophix.com's server. They run a lot of custom maps and the server's full more often than not with good players and admins.

Which extras do you refer to? New weapons are always nice and of course all the new hats are just pimpin'

Had the same problem when I first installed Vista. Some game demo at the time (C&C3 I think) wouldn't install until I installed DX9c.

Single player is balls out awesome but most people were hoping for a good multiplayer experience. Instead we got something.. less..

The single player was fantastic, but the multiplayer was what a lot of people were waiting for and it just fell flat on its face.

Thanks Blue for posting the link. So disappointed in what happened to my beloved Wolfenstein. Even my optimism was squashed like a bug after many hours of playing it.

I guess I'm not up on the recent spat of supernatural Nazi shooting happy murder time games that all the cool kids are playing but I didn't think it was generic at all.

Spoilery stuff hidden.
What exactly made it generic? Was it the Dutch farmhouse hiding an entire Nazi mutant making complex or fighting on an airship? I've personally never done those things in other games. Not Wolfenstein, and certainly not Call of Duty.

I guess if by generic you mean it doesn't try to make some deep philosophical statement about war like CoD4 did or some such drivel then okay it's generic. But even then, so what? The game's got some good action sequences, great graphics, great locales, and some truly awesome weapons. I mean seriously, what FPS fan doesn't want to unload a panzer round right into a circle of Nazis and watch their body parts fly in tweleve different directions? That's not generic, that's just damn fun. We all remember fun, right? That thing that happened before game makers started holding contempt for games that didn't have a message and how their game was going to "make a difference" or make us their bitch or whatever. Nuts to all that crap.

To it's credit, it also didn't bog down near the end like say, Far Cry, which went from a fun beautiful shooter to hunting mutant dogs in a forest. Wolfenstein gives you exactly what the other games did: big weapons and Nazis. It's enough for me I suppose.

They named this wrong. It should be called Walking Simulator. I also like to dig forward outposts.

You all have this all wrong. They are putting the lead used in making PCs into their games. They're trying to kill us with extracted lead from old CRT monitors! If you touch the media they put their games on you'll die of lead poisoning.
