![]() Q: It has already been announced that Return to Castle Wolfenstein will be fully playable on Xbox Live. Cutscenes were reworked and rendered, new multiplayer skins were created to make it easier to distinguish friend from foe as well as what class each person plays, etc. We also worked on just about everything else in the game including effects for the items, water and skies. All of the settings for creating a match for multiplayer are fully customizable and you can select different parameters to search for when browsing for a game through Optimatch. ![]() In addition to entirely new maps, other areas were revamped and reworked to allow more players to move comfortably through areas. A lot of the multiplayer maps were tweaked for the controller and to maximize the experience for up to sixteen players. This really brings out the best in the medic class as if you want your team to succeed, you’ll definitely want to revive fallen teammates. ![]() In balancing out the bonus items we looked at what players would benefit from most when reaching the next mission, so try to find them all!įor multiplayer, we have the addition of a new game mode called “Elimination”, where all of the objectives in a mission are turned off and each player only has one life. If you find all of the secret areas in a mission you will also be awarded with bonus items upon completing the mission that will be added to your health, ammo, weaponry, or inventory for the next area. There are new gameplay features as well such as reward for backstabbing enemies, which definitely requires a more stealthy approach to combat. Along with the items is a new weapon, the shotgun, found in both single-player and multi-player that’s great for pumping the enemy full of lead at close range. The EMP Device sends out a impulse ring of energy that immobilizes and disables X-Creatures such as the Proto-Soldier and Loper. The X-Shield is a force-field of tesla energy that grants temporary invulnerability to the player. The Holy Cross is a devastating relic that obliterates the undead. In our adventure you’ll also find some new items. The new enemies include the Mercenary found in the prologue areas, the Occult Priest, a wielder of ancient knowledge barely holding onto their remaining shred of humanity and the X-Shepherd, a half-dog, half-machine hybrid with a Venom chain-gun mounted on it’s back. New enemies and environments can be found in the prologue missions as well as in later parts of the game. In single-player and co-operative play, we have the addition of an entirely new prologue campaign that takes place in North Africa and introduces the player to the OSA and Agent One and ultimately leads them on the path to hunt for what it is the Nazis are out to achieve. Q: Seeing as this game was originally released for the PC, the obvious question is what are the differences between the original version released on the PC and the Xbox version?Ī: There are numerous additions and enhancements to the PC version for Tides of War. And with E3 2003 in the mix of all of the action, we just get this interview sqeezed out. ![]() RTCW:Tides of War - Nerve We sit down with Brandon James of Nerve Software to talk about Return to Castle Wolfenstein:Tides of War.
