    Whoa! I hadn't realised it'll be out in nine days. I'll definitely be picking it up even though I still have a large 'yet-to-be-played' pile sitting on my shelf.

    Don't worry, although I know you're one of us "old timers", I have dozens that I always meant to get back to and finish, yet never have.

    Im a big fan of return to castle......, and I hope that I will get better feelings and better story beside graphics. Overall, this game should be rocking.

    Ah wolfenstein for super nintendo is crossing my mind :)

    These games were great. Hopefully they can revitalize the franchise.

    Red Dragon, thanks for that! What throwback in time! Man I feel old now. I remember when that was released. A buddy of mine worked in the computer department of the local university and did server backups (on huge reel to reel tapes mind you). He said "let me show you this cool game" on one of the computers in the lab. Needless to say I visited the lab every night for weeks, until we finished the game.

    Ht, Ah yes it makes me feel old as well :)

    Isnt is crazy? That was revolutionary for its time, and when we look at it now you chuckle a little. I also forgot how the AI was you literally go in the room and just kill everyone in seconds. Now you have to plan it or you get gunned down. gaming has evolved for the good though :)

    Beefy, no problem man :)

    I wonder if there will be multiplayer. Enemy Territory were the best days of my gaming life, australian servers were closed down simply because they were getting too many complaints (requests) by the community :(

    So far the videos I have seen make the game look pretty good. I am always up for thwarting Nazi science experiments and their evil plans! Otherwise it looks like a pretty standard shooter. I hope there's a demo.

    Hm, not sure how this, a WWII alternate universe with supernatural Nazi weapons, reminds you of busting caps into terrorists in the middle of a desert?

    Hm no, still don't see it. I'd have to say it's more like Doom Nazi-Shock imho.

    Nazi shock? LOL is that a mix of nazi's with Bioshock?


    I was looking at Videos on Youtube and some of the people were saying that the multiplayer wasnt good. I hope that is not true.

    Here is a vid:

    <object width='560' height='340'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-tvYlwOBpGA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-tvYlwOBpGA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width='560' height='340'></embed></object>

    and its hilarious guess what the guy in the comments said?

    tbh the gameplay looks just like CoD with its Run n Gun on a really small map...

    does this game have a lvl up system? like in Battlefield and CoD?

    I originally saw multiplayer that probably explain why i felt Call of Duty.

    Argh, I hope the final version is better.Multiplayer looks crappy.It's like CoD:WaW with wierd Nazi theme.Not how remember early games.And I thought multiplayer was suppose to be the shining part of wolfenstein games?
