Return to Castle Wolfenstein Ships

Posted by chrisd on from the actung!-mien-lieber! dept.

Screaming Lunatic writes "Woohoo, Return to Castle Wolfenstein has finally shipped. Check this story out at Yahoo. You should be able to buy it at the regular gaming shops. I highly recommend buying it rather than hacking it, as noted in Graeme Devines .plan file." CD: I am seriously flashing back to the Apple II game with a similar name, hope this doesn't suck like daikatana.

    Yeah, I'm sure the game would sell well at the original price of $60 USD or more.

    Come crying when piracy actually hurts sales. That means, when someone who would have purchased the game doesn't because of downloading it.

    Sure, thousands will play the game for free, but what does it really hurt? They wouldn't have paid for it, so they get something for free and the developer doesn't lose anything. Everyone who bought the game still has it too, so they didn't lose.

    Who's the victim?

    They disabled Q3's bunny hopping (aka strafe jumping), however, you can still increase your speed if you jump onto a surface slanted downwards towards the direction you're headed, and then jump just as you hit it. You'll fly forward through the air a little faster than normal, and if you keep jumping, you can keep up the speed.

    Great, just what we need. Tips for cheaters. I'm sorry, but the Q3 bunny hop was a physics bug. They didn't "disable" it in RTCW, they "fixed" it. Apparently they didn't catch every case, as your post points out. Exploiting a bug is cheating just as much as running an aimbot. It detracts from the game, and makes it less fun for everybody else.


    I won't even comment on your so-called "tactics" for the beach landing map. People like you make online gaming annoying. You probably teamkilled on purpose as well, didn't you?
