Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for the 21st Century

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
There was a lot of prerelease spin for this game, and some of it was apt. Splash Damage has taken Wofenstein-ET with the Doom 3 engine and the Quake plot line, pumped the grpx engine full of visual steroids but sent the writers and creative consultants home way too early. The game has really nice eye candy, and runs well on my notebook (nice surprise) but I was honestly expecting more plot and more 'Meat' to this newest addition to the Quake family.
Maybe it was just me but, from what I was reading, prior to release I got the impression that this game was going to give us a lot of 'back-story' and the reason we 'Went to War' (hehehe) in Quake 3. Unfortunately, this game (like the reasons WE were given for going to war) fall far short of the commitment that WE gamers usually make in a title. Bottom line; this game can be a nice reminder of Wolfenstein-ET, but will not stay long in you game rotation.

I'm running this game on an older machine and it plays very well. I'll describe the specs of my PC running Win XP:

Athlon XP 3200 (downclocked to 2500 because I have chintzy ram)
ATI X800 All-in-Wonder video card
1 GB of ram
Cable modem

I'm able to play the game at 1280 by 1024 and get 20fps while playing online. Many people will probably consider this unacceptable, but it works for me.

The game is really new, so a lot of the people playing online have no idea of what they should be doing in terms of the objectives, etc. Fortunately, the XP reward system in the game should motivate people to actually play the required player classes to complete obectives. I get sick of public Enemy Territory (pre-Quake Wars game) servers where everyone wants to snipe.

The maps bundled with the game are stunning. The strogg (alien team) have more technological advantages than humans in the game, so I can see people wanting to always play that side. So far as yet, I haven't encountered any bugs in the game.
