RealRTCW 5.0 Video Review 

Hey!! Lead dev of RealRTCW here! Thanks for checking out the mod again! 5.0 was in development for 2 years (!). That was tough, and sometimes really frustrating. But you cant even imagine how satisfied I am with the result. 5.0 is so above anything we released before! Cant wait to unleash this beast to the public! Final preparations are being made! P.S. You mentioned hub location messing up the story pace. Yep, I know what you meant. And I want to clear this thing up - this hub location is 100% optional. You can disable it in the very same menu you showed on the video by switching "Story Progression" switch and get back to good ol "Cutscenes only" pacing.

Since childhood, I have loved this game for its series of events and gloomy atmosphere, which is perfectly emphasized by the music of Bill Brown. Masterpiece

Thank you for the coverage! Have a nice game everyone! Get Psyched! ❤‍🔥

RtCW is really one of the best games of all time. And it was made by the same people that made Redneck Rampage of all things. To see Modders giving it such love warms my shrivelled old heart.

"If you're sensitive to spoilers now is the time to stop watching you have been warned" has become one of my favorite RU-vidr catchphrases.

I think the biggest problem with the game that modders didn't change is the weapon's impact on the enemies .It doesn't induce the impact power of the gun. Thanks for the video.

This game and Hidden and Dangerous are the diamonds from the past. Absolutely love the atmosphere of both these games.

Those AI upscaled textures look like utter shit.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is one of my favorite games of all time. Shame that the series has taken a nose dive ever since.

I remember this game when it first came out. This game was amazingly good. I’m 53 so I remember alot of games since the 70’s. But this game is what started me to be a proper gamer with really great atmosphere and amazing graphics. It’s great it’s having mods. My dream is only I could have this game remade with new modern graphics keep the game the same but new graphics. I remember being scared of the haunting music 🎵

This almost reminds me of how Stalker anomaly is currently but for RTCW which is VERY much a good thing

Wait achievements???? For a modder made game? I didn’t know was allowed by Steam.

I appreciate the work put into Real RTCW, but I just can't enjoy the game anymore without the console only Egypt episode, and extra secrets and areas from the PS2. It's like something's missing.

The MP40 sounds is kinda dissapointing. I loved the original sounds, they were so rich and loud.

The one thing I want to be added to RTCW is proper leaning, allowing to fire when doing so. Does this mod have that?

Nice video as always. Didn't know this even existed, will check it out someday. Rtcw is in my opinion still the best Wolfenstein game ^^

The only thing I wasn’t a fan on was that they kinda limited the gun selection through the campaign. I did not see a m1 garand once or the mosin. They need to patch it where these are more readily available. Also put back the mg42 and stg44 earlier on they changed them to later levels. Fix that and add the Egypt map and this will be the ultimate experience. Also it would be nice if they could add the Xbox intro leading to the castle and main menu that was awesome

Honestly I am not a fan of the new weapon sounds as they sound flat to me compared to the original sounds, for example at 8:50...also the sniper is less echoing at 6:50...also reload animations are too quick like in a modern FPS.

I love this mod, but I have to say, without Vanilla Pack, the weapons look and feel kinda like shit, so you should definitely playu with those enabled.

I had countless hours playing the multiplayer when this game came out.

What a great way to experience this classic masterpiece. Amazing review!

Also, if you are looking for a very good WW2 shooter, then I would highly recommend "Zombie Army Trilogy" which is a 3rd person shooter set in WW2 which has zombies. It began for PC as "Nazi Zombie Army" and was only about 6-hours long, but it ended on a cliffhanger. It was so successful that they made a Part two. It was successful, but when making a Part 3, they just repackaged it as a trilogy and shortened the name to "Zombie Army Trilogy." Together, it makes for a very long campaign, but you can tell its a compilation of games due to the first 3rd re-using same enemies but new enemies are added 2/3 way in & more on the final 3rd. It has a similar feel as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but with elements of "Left 4 Dead". And its X-ray kill cam (when using sniper rifles) is amazing & adds a ferocious sense of pleasure. ZAT is available for PS4, XB One & PC and they've since released a Part 4. Rumor is they are working on a Part 5. Its a hidden gem, imho.

Seeing the classic goofy animations completely reanimated from the ground up with better models feels so uncanny yet also impressive as heck. Kudos to RealRTCW devs for working hard on this, they deserve all the support they are getting.

I finished vanilla game so many times, it became impossible to play again because I memorize every enemy placement nook and cranny. Now with help of this mod I can play with excitement again. Good work guys.

You're not strafe-jumping. Why aren't you strafe-jumping? Also, where is EAX (OpenAL, ALSoft)?

What I've just learned from this video? Well, we had that kind of mods for Doom (Brutal) and Half-Life (MMod), now it's Wolf's time. Good thing you introduced this one to me, I'm looking forward to play it sometime soon.

Unfortunately the mod is banned in Germany because showing swastikas is prohibited. (You know, that history does not repeat itself) But... I really would have loved to play it

I remember having issues with RtCW on Win7 for some reasons - no patch or source port worked. What did work was installing RealRTCW and then turning it into vanilla with addon. Weird workaround but whatever...

RTCW? Yes. That mod? No. I personally prefer Castle Gothicstein.

RtCW gives me epic nostalgic vibes. Good old days playing MP

Return to Castle Wolfenstein gets a new mod update. ✅️ Wolfenstein 2009 gets... pulled from Steam. Yeah, no joke, you can't buy it anymore. ❌️

Not a bad update. But the developers still have a lot of work to do on this game. To make this game a full Remake

Wait I know it's a few days old but one of the NPC's is called McTavish; Modern Warfare universe connection confirmed you found Soap's Grandfather!

Don't care for the addition of the Hub Area. Wish we got the Egypt Prologue levels from the original Xbox port instead. Still can't believe great games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Aliens Vs Predator 2 don't get remastered for both current consoles and pc. I prefer FPS games from the 2000s and early 2010s than all the 1990s styled FPS games flooding the market thanks to indie FPS games.

Mein Leben!

You’re starting to sound like Patrick Bateman.

>German voice pack It would be cool if this was used for a _"mirror mode"_ of sorts. You'd start the game as an axis/german soldier, fighting off Americans/brits and their experiments with the occult (basically, a model skin swap with changes weapons). This would cool as a way to have access to a larger arsenal of American/brit weaponry (in the enemies' loot), while barely scrapping by with German Weapons -- basically the opposite of what happens with the main campaign (heck to make things more interesting, the layouts of the levels could be all mirrored, all flags replaced with Allied equivalents etc. Stuff like this would do A LOT to add up to the game's longevity)

Played the current version a while back for my first full playthrough, did get through most of the original but never finished it, enjoyed it all minus the Lopers because their lightning arced way too well. I am gonna nitpick the fact that the entire stripper clip is inserted in some reloads but damn they look nice amd this update looks like a substantial step from the version I played.

I created headquarters map for that game in 2009. Thanks for the video.

Worth a play if I've played 4.0?

A new update nice !

I last played RTCW 7 years ago, and still remember every scene, weapon and enemy shown here, I will definitely try this mod!

WOULD IT KILL ANYONE TO PUT IN ADS???????????

PS2 Egypt Episode?

Man i wish ii could play this mod in the VR Version.

I completed the level, but there is no Malta base:(

about to play this which difficulty is good to play on

is there a MOHAA game out there doing this?

Now i just need to figure out how to access the steam page from Germany

5:35 When Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher ground starts playing

How to open console?

when i saw that the weapons got new animations that caught my interest but when i heard that the dificulty is NO LONGER higher than vanilla AND customizable i was sold 5.0 version is the goat now.

Fantastic mod...Any chance we'll see a mission from Egypt in the future?

Winners don't use steam to play games

I played this game a long time ago and it got some of the best outdoor ambiance. The biggest problem with this game is the aztec warriors, the undead, and the ghosts. Alright it's been a while so I might not remember it correctly but you can see it in this video; the undead from Quake does not belong in Wolfenstein. Other than that all the "normal" stuff is awesome. I think I'm gonna buy the game and get the mod, been wanting to re-play it anyway.

I wish they would be another one with modern graphics and stuff. I mean it looks nice to this day and this mod looks awesome and stuff! What i want to say is: Capcom made the best Resi games out of the old ones and it would be so cool to get the same "treatment" with RTCW!

I watched the weapons showcase video for this version of the mod and it's just incredible how far they've improved. They turned this decent gameplay mod for RTCW into a genuine overhaul in every way shape and form and it breathes such new life into this classic just as much as Black Mesa did to Half Life. @WolfPlayer0 thank you and your team for this, i'm truly grateful for your work in modernizing one of my favorite FPS games of all time

It will be played! Great mod!

I wish this game would have been backwards compatible for consoles.

How do I actually find the secret area and treasure in that Malta level?

Hi there does this have all the add on levels aswell mate

Bolt rifles having cycling animations is too good to be true.

I wish Nightdive Studios remastered this.

How do you acquire the weapons that need an ''additional request'' when visiting the quartermaster?

I can't wait to play it, just started downloading a few minutes ago, and the thing I'm the most excited about is the Forest Compound mission.

The hub area=WOLFEET Pirates Final Map!

Can you do a review of Hotline Miami games 1 and 2?

Does this include the levels from the Xbox Tides Of War version?

You should checkout the return to castle wolfenstein team beef vr port if you haven’t!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hope we'll be able to shoot while leaning at some point. I'll never get why they never had that in vanilla RTCW lol

2:58 PLEASE! NO-one liked that stage! Even in 2001! ..with AMD T-Bird 1400MHz, 266MHz DDR RAM and a "Team Green" 3 Ti500!(AND YES! Last time i've been an über-CoolFirstmover) PS This is (fantasy)1943...aka "proto" stg42-43 is used? ^FG 42 FTW 😛

Great work obviously tho the shotgun could use a bit more "oomp" to it.

No 1 game ever

nice

Refreshing to see this in a time when game developers seem to fork so much generic sh.. 🤩

I swear you cover all the games at the same time as I start playing them

This mod really needs the console prologue levels, its weird why no one hasnt recreated those levels yet. Also The new had is kinda bad, too simplistic cant tell how much health you have or how much recoil there is.

I love this game. I have it on PC and PS2

Thanks for the review

o/ he was right

Looks interesting.

I hate this game.

This was one of those games I remember till today, we really need a remake, just without fking woke and political bullshit, 1:1 copy with today's graphics. That would be a thing!
