RtCW SP was great for its time, what are you on about?

The MP in it was whats best. They seem to be going with RtCW:ET for the MP instead of RtCW MP, which IMO is a bad move.

If they want people to actually play the MP after it's prime, then it's a great move.

Would be interesting to see a team mod the full release to be more like RtCW MP than ET then.

Speak for yourself. I happened to like Wolf SP. And dozens of other SP games.

indeed, RtCW SP was a lot of fun.
the only bitter aftertaste was, once again, id saying it was impossible to incorporate co-op due to the *highly immersive storyline and scripted events*. which were lacking.

Yep, based on the way the scripting worked it was impossible. In fact it took some serious lateral thinking to do anything specifically complex; I had to jump hoops to do some of the things I wanted in my SP add-ons.

then thats a flaw of the dev, not of the narrative.
if you're shooting yourself in the foot by building a cumbersome scripting language, fine. but at least be honest about it and dont say you wanted to do co-op but couldnt because it would interfere with the SP game. just say you didnt plan ahead when you started building the engine.

ofcourse this is usually the id way. most of it is hardcoded and just not very flexible. as long as it creates whatever buzzword the industry cooked up, who cares right?

Quite the contrary, MKJ. iD games are near-perfect dreams of extensibility, as games go.

flexible might not be the correct word.
lets say 'efficient' :)

Nope.. they had to change a lot of the internal code to get that to work so it wasn't exactly a straight port with the addition of another player done in a few months.

The newer media doing the rounds looks infinitely better than those magazine scans, looks very interesting now.. still very reminiscent of RtCW in some areas - which may or may not be a good/bad.

With No One Lives Forever the developer took the most obvious route where they added a bunch of separate cooperative missions to the game.

I've had the honor to see 20-30 shots of the Multiplayer levels, and let me just tell you guys that its VERY RtCW in terms of visual style and level design. If you liked the original you wont be disapointed ;)
