IGN have undertaken the mammoth task of compiling the Top 100 First Person Shooters of all time from all of the shooters released in the past 20 or so years. It’s great to see Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory make the list a full decade after its release, deploying in the #84 spot.

Back in the dark age of the FPS, multiplayer was nothing but a bunch of people running in every direction at once with their triggers held down like savages. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory wasn't the first game to feature objective-focused, class-based competitive play, but its free, open-sourced nature exposed a massive amount of new players to the concept, opening the door for what eventually grow into a much larger trend in multiplayer design.

As a reboot of the franchise that started the genre, Return to Castle Wolfenstein had a lot to live up to. And though it didn't constitute the wheel re-inventing some had hoped it would be, it was still an excellent take on the space between fighting soldiers and fighting hellspawn. In many ways it was just a natural extension of Wolfenstein 3D's controversial final boss, taking historical myths about the Nazis dabbling in the occult and swinging for the fences with them. But it would be the multiplayer that would be remembered most fondly, keeping scads of frag-heads tethered to their gaming rigs until the wee hours for months and years to come.

The great-granddaddy of first-person shooters, Wolfenstein 3D launched the genre we take for granted today. It was inspired by Castle Wolfenstein and its sequel, a pair of relatively crude 2D stealth shooters that pit you against Nazi guards. The metamorphosis into 3D (well, pseudo 3D) was like sorcery in 1992. Gone were the stealth elements; the golden age of run-and-gun shooters erupted with the roar of a chaingun as you blasted through three glorious episodes filled with Nazis and even Adolf Hitler himself as a boss. Id's breakout achievement directly (and indirectly) gave birth to Doom, Rise of the Triad, and every other shooter that followed.

You can check out the rest of the list over at IGN.

Introduction: Because of the upfloating interest in the game thanks to the stream provided in the RTCW 3v3 ODC #5 by ZeD & Malmen a few weeks ago, I thought i'd be a good time to announce another RTCW 6v6 Crossfire Draftcup. I'm aiming to get 8 teams to play in a double elimination bracket.

Motivation: So why should you bother signing up? Cause RtCW is still one of the best games ever created. If you still want to try RtCW out, now might be your last chance. If you are an ETplayer, don't worry. There are still plenty RtCW players who can carry you. The only thing that you have to do is click that download button. You can generate a fully working CD-Key by using the ETKeygen inside. Last but not least, there will be a great livestream & shoutcast for the most exciting matches!

Bruder Talon der uns in vergangenen Jahren schon zahlreiche RtCW-Movies bescherhrt hat, verfiel wieder seinem Drang einen Movie zu erstellen und präsentiert uns jetzt sein neues RtCW-Meisterwerk "Superstar Panzerfaust"

Return to Castle Wolfenstein Singleplayer Misssion - Vendetta 2 - Demo Version

Yo$hik has released a demo version of his "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" singleplayer addon mission, "Vendetta 2". This 3-map adventure, although still a work in progress, has made superb progress already and it has been a real pleasure to test it.
Hopefully, after this successful demo version, Yo$hik will continue his work on this superb project and our "RtCW" Community will get to play this singleplayer mission in its entirety. In the meantime, download and enjoy these excellent maps.

After 2 years of work and more than 850 svn revisions it is finally ready. The first public playable version of return to castle wolfenstine mod makes cooperative play possible - All single player levels are modified for cooperative play (up to 8 players). We added extra enemies, updated the skill levels so that its still a challenge to play this game.

There are three gametypes:
- Coop: Normal rtcw but in cooperative mode, very fun with friends. - Battle : sort of 1vs1 but still in coop. The point of this mode is that at the end of the map you have the best statistics (out of three). The recorded statistics are: damage given / damage received ratio, deaths and points. The player who scores the highest on at least 2 of the three wins. Important to know, you start the game with only one gun and you have to buy weapons, ammo and health. Buying something costs points. Your points can be below zero, but if you are at below zero at the end of the map you can't win - Speedrun: Play a level as fast as possible, fastest time is saved on the server

Download the files. Extract them somewhere (NOT in the rtcw folder). Copy the RTCW pk3's (mp, sp and pak0) into the rtcwcoop main folder and start the rtcwcoop executable.

Nach 2 Jahren Arbeit und mehr als 850 svn Änderungen ist es endlich fertig. Die erste öffentliche spielbare Version von der Return to Castle Wolfenstein Mod macht jetzt kooperatives Spielen möglich - Alle Einzelspieler-Level sind für kooperatives Spielen (bis zu 8 Spieler) modifiziert. Wir haben zusätzliche Gegner und den Schwierigkeitsgrad erhöht, so dass es immer noch eine Herausforderung ist dieses Spiel (erneut) zu spielen.

Downloade die Dateien. Entpacke es irgendwo hin (NICHT in den RTCW Ordner). Kopiere deine RTCW-pk3´s (mp, sp und pak0) in den rtcwcoop Hauptordner und starte die rtcwcoop.exe
