Forgive me but this is my first attempt at a game thread (and this post is quite possibly rubbish as I want to get back to playing this and Shadow Complex). Searched but didn't find one and couldn't work out why we are not talking about this game.
Wolfenstein is the sequel to the awesome Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) and distant relative of Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny. Like RTCW this game is developed by Raven Software/id and uses id Tech 4.
Basically, It is up to agent B.J. Blazkowicz, relative of the awesome Commander Keen (I think.... from memory) to save the day. Stolen from Wikipedia:
Anyhow, this game is fun and anyone who wishes to add me and play a game on 360 my username is in sig.
Anyone who wishes to make a much better first post please feel free :P

It is the year 1943. The Second World War is at its height. While Allied forces have stalled the expansion of Hitler's Third Reich, the Nazi war machine still has its boot on the throat of mainland Europe. Enter Heinrich Himmler's feared SS and its plan to master an occult force known as the Black Sun. With this mysterious power source at its disposal, no army on Earth could stand in the Reich's path. No army but the man who had single-handedly shut down Hitler's Übersoldat program and thwarted the resurrection of ancient superhuman King Heinrich I, that is. Once again, the world requires the particular talents of special agent B.J. Blazkowicz.

It's a good game if you're looking for little substance and just fun run and gun nonsense like the origional Wolfenstein.
I haven't touched multi yet, nor have I read anything on it, but if it's anything like enemy territory I'll piss my self in happiness.
I am absolutely loving it - the graphics aren't the best but once you get into it you don't really notice.
Good atmosphere as well.
I don't find it as atmospheric as the first. It's doesn't feel all dingy and creepy. And the supernatural elements of the game are there from the beginning unlike the first game where it took a few missions before things started getting all fucked up.
The Veil feels and acts identicle to Soul Reaver's other world, minus the landscape warping and shifiting. It just opens secret doors really ( so far )
There is one big gripe though, the scope sights are abslutley gross looking. I could swer they used the same fat lined template from RTCW's sniper scopes.
There's also a litte bit, very loose open ended game play. The town you're in works like a hub that you can explore mostly for gold in between missions with a small smattering of enemies.
I dunno, so far I like it because it's a easy fun non-thinking game. The enemy death animations at times are really cool ( shoot a guys leg off and he hops around for a few second before bleeding out, shoot his face and you hear the sickest gurgling and choking sounds in a game yet)
But yeah, the story is meh. Secret society that's trying to protect some mystical thing from Hitlers army, yadda yadda Indiana Jones.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
I love that gun. I've even given it a nickname: the 'BWEEEE FUCK YOU' cannon.

Yeah, it is a bad ass gun. It made me giggle like a little girl at a Jonah Bros concert when I first used it.
Well if its tits then that tears it. I may buy it tomorrow.
Except those legless electric dudes who could gib you in one second. Fuck those assholes.
EDIT: Also, it's rather fucking classy of Activision to sack like half the fucking team on launch day, even if said half of the team was supposedly in charge of the worst part of the game.
EDIT: My beloved Nazi SCIENCE!
EDIT: And you know, someone should really do a Nazi version of
That's...that's pretty much all I needed it to do. Everything else has been gravy.
EDIT: Sorenson, there's some Nazi Science!(tm) involved. They're trying to use it to master the supernatural stuff. It's a nice mix I think. That's about all I can say without spoiling things.

I played maybe 5 minutes cuz i didnt want to hog it. But I did cackle maniacly when a fellow gamer picked up the plasma cannon and vaporized 10 nazis in a matter of seconds.
They didnt have MP set up so I have no idea what its like. I hear its not good. No biggie, last time they released a Wolf mp it was free, so i dont mind cutting them some slack while they patch it up.
I only have this game until next Tuesday-ish, but if anyone would like to 360 MP with me, I'll probably get into that some towards the end of the week. My gamertag is in my sig.
Oh god, Wolf3D flashbacks. Get Psyched, indeed.
Speaking of flashbacks...
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Conversely, I suspect the best way to get 100% of the collectibles in the town is to do that shit as early as you can
It was balls. I could never joing a decent less than really laggy match.
I still think they should just have carried over the old Wolfenstein objective maps but updated with a few new oens thrown in. The old beach map was as you say, "Tits"
Mall down the street, I think I may be spending some cash at Gamestop since the main vibe I'm getting here is that this game is tits
Oh man, I remember when the demo for WolfMP was released and it was just the old beach map. My roommates and I played the hell out of that map.
oh god the nostalgia

This semi rant just took the game from "meh ill try it when it hits the $20 mark at gamestop" to "i'll probably rent it this week, once I finish shadow complex"

Enemy AI is dumb, like, really dumb.
I had one robo plasma bot guy try to hide behind a street sign.
STREET SIGN!
Picked this game up at lunch time earlier. They were "sold out", but some poor sap didn't come pick up his pre-order, so they sold it to me. At least that's the story they gave me at Gamestop.
YOU CAN STACK VEIL POWERS.
Like use Empower, Shield and Mire all at the SAME TIME.
Granted, your special meter goes bye-bye in a damn hurry, but still, for about 5 seconds you're a machine of destruction.

On the other hand, I was 11.
Reviews have said that the graphics are a little out of date.
My only gripe about the game so far is that every single interface shouts "console port" to me. Very jarring that...
I'm pretty pleased with the singleplayer experience so far. I like the weapon upgrades, and shooting mechanincs in general.
My only two gripes with the game are the aparent lack of a save feature(?) it seems I have to rely on random checkpoints? (Or am I dumb and missing something?) My other gripe is that its difficult to tell which housed i've already explored in the hub town.
Multiplayer, IMO, should just be skipped altogether....
Agreed. We reached "good enough not to be bothered" years ago.
Even so, the engine has gone through massive overhauls since Doom.

"Things people said 5 years ago" for 500, Alex.
Graphics come far below gameplay and general atmosphere in games for me, but having pretty new shinier graphics is always nice.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
anyways. this game looks great and more importantly at max settings in windowed it runs fine too.
I thought I was doing good by upgrading my SMG then bam, they give me an assault rifle and I haven't used the damned mp40 since. also I feel using powers is pretty damned cheap so I'm not going to be upgrading those things, game is pretty easy as it is on hard. wishing I had gone ubermesnch now.
Oh and have fun with the final boss.
