The scheduled mission pack for Return To Castle Wolfenstein went tits up. They scrapped the entire SP portion (they had the entire game mapped by what I had read) and will release the MP part as a free download. Like WTF? I wanted to play that SP campaign/episode/missions. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/frown.gif
Shit!

Yeah, I was looking forward to more Wolf SP aswell. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/frown.gif Well at least they decided to make the MP part free, which is more than I can say for freakn EA. They released an expansion pack for BF1942, costing half the price of the original game, with a mere 6 maps and a couple of new vehicles/weapons. I mean, the new features like the bayonet on the 303 rifle can't even be used in the original maps.
But of course I'm hooked on BF and most of the community has purchased the expansion, so I'll have to buy it eventually or else I'll be severely limiting the number of servers I can play on. Thanks a lot EA.
I don't mind expansions when they're actually WORTH the money, but otherwise they simply divide the online community for a game. At least that won't happen with RTCW, as everyone will get the expansion for free.

Yeah I wonder what the problemo was though. All they said was that it wasn't doable or some crap. Seems like they had most of it done as far as mapping went.... guess the coding went south. :/
I need to get BF1942 sometime. I don't even remember seeing it on the damned shelf. Stupid Future Shop. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm23.gif

EA are a bunch of game nazis. I refuse to pay for any of their crap anymore. Their games just get slower and you get less and less for the price.
The only good expansion I ever bought was Firestorm for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. That was worth the cash, even just for the multiplayer. Probably the only one EA ever got right too.
We need back the glory days of companies like Ion Storm, Apogee, Cavedog, Westwood Studios, and that dude who made Scorched Earth.

"Once in a while a programmer really writes something he's proud of, a slick, elegant, blazingly fast routine that stands as a benchmark against which other code will be judged by. However, this is not the case with TED's fill routine. This slow, stupid algorithm will casually fill one plane of data in a painfully creeping manner. Press ESC when it gets confused." - John Romero on TED (Tile EDitor)

Too bad most demo sceners don't make games these days. Zone 66 was done by a demo scene group and it rocked.
