RTCW Single Player Demo & Linux Binaries

Posted by michael on from the into-the-outdoors-with-penguin-and-chaingun dept.

Ant was fastest on the mouse to report that Id Software has a single-player demo and a set of linux binaries available for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Blue's News has some more information and a mirror.

    While not yet posted on their website as of 15:07 Eastern Time, www.tuxgames.com will sell RTCW with a linux-based installer.

    This is for those folks who want to show their allegience to Linux gaming by purchasing from a company dedicated to bringing it mainstream and properly tallying Linux sales.

    I have no affiliation, just a friendly notice. :)

    Well one reason could be that Linux performs better on P4/2.2GHz than WinXP does. If more games would perform better. the more people would play on Linux ;)

    For those of us about to ROCK...

    If you could enter to the FTP site you could note there's an OSX directory there... but since the whole thing is slashdotted, you can't. I'm really sorry. Just be patient and wait a few hours, by then everyone will have stopped clicking the pretty links...

    RCTW wasn't actually developed by ID Software. ID merely "produced" it. RCTW's multiplayer part was developed by Nerve Software and the singleplayer was developed by some other developer who was recently bought by Activision. Can't remember the name though.
