On Wolf's Goldness

Reflecting upon last night's announcement that Return to Castle Wolfenstein has gone gold, id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead updated his .plan with various reflections on availability and other pimpage. Here's the word:
WoooHOOOO! Wolf is golden indeed. Congrats to Gray Matter, Activision and Nerve for all of the hard work they have put in over the last 2+ years we've been working on this game.

If you're interested in the sweet collectors' tin boxes (that come with a cool poster and a sew-on Wolf logo patch) I think you can still get those through the various pre-order programs at Best Buy (blue), Gamestop/Babbages (silver) and EB (black) while supplies last (these may go quickly now).

It looks like people will actually be able to pick up copies early next week in many places and after Thanksgiving most everywhere in the U.S. The international versions will follow very shortly behind due to increased manufacturing time and shipping logistics, but I'm guessing there will be world-wide availabilty by the first of December.

I don't know when we will have them for sale direcly from id, but retail will definitely have the initial availability. I'll post direct-sale information as soon as I have it.

No date yet on the Mac version, but it's coming soon (not gold yet, though). We don't have plans to sell Linux in retail, but Timothee has done great work on the downloadable binaries so far, and I expect that to continue.

**Special note to our German fans: buy as soon as they come out and avoid the "rush" ;-) I know you guys know what I mean...
In related news, Computer and Video Games has confirmed the UK release date to be November 30.

To the guy at the top post..

Typical American Bull...

Didn't see you lot steaming accross the big pond to help us
fight the IRA but I guess that's coz u were supplying most
of their ammunition and weapons

Maybe you should realize that America ain't the centre of
everyone else's universe and stop being the 2 faced
hypocrites u are...

If u wanna talk about atrocity committed towards a
civillian target how about Hiroshima and Nagasaki...?

Switch the Tv off occasionally and look around using your
own eyes and brain for a change...

"China could wipe out the us if they really wanted to."

That's bullshit of course - no ill will towards China, but the only military advantage they enjoy at this point is superior numbers, which anybody with half a brain will tell you means exactly dick in this age of smart bombs and stealth tech...

"When will the us pick a fight with someone that they can lose with?"

Gee, that's a great idea, let's get ourselves into a losing battle - a very intelligent suggestion, thanks. Maybe the reason we're such a powerful nation is because we know when to fight and when not to fight.

"Protecting freedom means screwing everyone else."

Hmmm.. dunno what country you're from, but when some extremists come bombing the innocent people in your home town, maybe you'll learn to keep your mouth shut. We're in a shitty situation right now, but rather than roll over and take it in the ass we're fighting back - which in the long run will probably benefit most of the 'civilized' world.

Dumass the way things are now. China could wipe out the us if they really wanted to.

When will the us pick a fight with someone that they can lose with?

This game is awesome and everyone should cut the politically correct crap. Killing innocent people is evil... well except for Muslim Arabs. Come to Ohio and I'll bury you bastards with your Koran instructions to "kill" me for having a god other than Allah. Allah sucks. I wipe myself on his face every time I take a dump.

They should include a little hidden easter egg / cheat code that when entered changes all the nazis to talibans and himmler to bin laden...
See what the ratings board think of that!

I'm sure you're daddy COULD beat up my daddy.. probably your mommy as well!

Nah I was just replying to the guy who said that the US could take on the ENTIRE world and still win which I think is slightly arrogant and presumptuous.

It amazes me that what happened with the WTC hasn't changed peoples views at all. Alot of Americans are saying things like "you're either with us or against us.. if against us we'll kick you're ass" or "do you like mushrooms... as in mushroom clouds?". I think Americans need to realise (and most probably do) that even though the US is the strongest country, a couple of fanatics with towels on their heads can do some major damage. What happens when it's more than a couple? When old Bin Laden gets his beans more people will join his cause and be happy to die for Alah.

I doubt the US would win a war with the rest of the world (with conventional weapons). Think of the military size of all countries like China/Russia/England (rest of Europe, Switzerland etc) combined. You guys are big but not that big. In 30 years time you might find that China could kick the US's by itself.

Wonder if the original Wolf got this much discussion...

Yeah, Wolf3d got more discussion than this. But back then we actually enjoyed playing games, so our discussions were generally focused on how cool the game was.

Now we're all just bitter and we complain and bicker about everything.

You see that will never happen. The US could take on the ENTIRE rest of the world and still win. It would be ugly tho.
