Watch On
RealRTCW is already probably the greatest mods for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, offering an intensive visible remaster of Gray Matter’s 2001 shooter whereas additionally including a bunch of recent weapons just like the M1 Garand and an MG42. Originally launched in 2016, the mod formally got here to Steam in 2020. But its creators have continued to help it since, with the newest replace bringing a wholly new recreation mode.
Update 5.1 is the primary main patch for the mod since June final 12 months, and in accordance with its creator WolfETPlayer “80%” of its improvement time was devoted to including the brand new mode—RealRTCW Survival. This converts Return To Castle Wolfenstein right into a Killing Floor-style wave shooter, pitting you towards human or undead enemies relying on which of its 4 maps you are enjoying.
The mod would not simply spawn growing numbers of enemies right into a multiplayer map, both. RealRTCW survival has a complete bunch of supplementary mechanics constructed into it. Killing enemies earns you factors (with headshots and melee kills incomes you additional) which will be spent on new weapons, deployable traps like flame hazards, and even calling in AI reinforcements that will help you in fight. There’s additionally a perk system the place you should purchase and equip energy ups dropped by enemies, offering you short-term buffs.
There’s a video of the mod in motion you may watch above, and I’ve to say, it seems rad. I have never performed Return to Castle Wolfenstein in a very long time, and I’d forgotten what a lithe and snappy shooter it’s. It strikes at a naturally hectic tempo, which appears perfect for a wave survival recreation.
The new mode is not all of the replace provides. It additionally introduces a brand new weapon, the HDM silenced pistol, and offers the Wilfburg village map an overhaul. This makes quite a few visible enhancements and, enticingly, restores minimize content material. “I will not spoil something!” WolfETPlayer declares. “You’ll want to find it your self.”
You can obtain the mod both on ModDB, or on Steam, the place the 5.1 replace can also be energetic. So for those who’re on the lookout for a zombie (and Nazi) blaster to tide you over till Killing Floor 3 launches subsequent month, this is likely to be simply the ticket.
