I was trying to post some simple comments... sure isn't going in the direction I had planned. :confused:

I give up.... mod, erase this thread...

[mervTormel]

no need to blast the thread.

i was looking for a dl link, but all i can find is the .exe's for windows *sigh*

aspyr's site is far too slow. the other links are all windows.

anyone know of a fast pipe for the mac demo?

does it run native on OSX? yes, aspyr's page says so.

[AKcrab]

Awww, don't let em scare you powermacg4_450! They'll turn this thread into a lesson in german, if we don't watch it! ;)

I have the beta 2, about 59 megs, and it runs on X.... fine. :)

the final version is great...... this game rocks, the most addictive mac game ive ever played.

[AKcrab]

My last "favorite" game was Deus Ex... I've been itching to find something to replace it. Think wolfenstien could? I'm not into network play, just single player.

[vonleigh]

I'm assuming you download the WolfMP-test2-BETA. If anyone has trouble be patient with the page, got "too many users" a bunch of times before I got through.

I'll give my impressions once I download it and give it a spin. I remember playing this game years ago, wonder how different it looks. I'm not much of a gamer though, had a brief EverCrack encounter with my roommate's computer, scary stuff.

BTW MT, you forgot the Monty Python shade of satire ;)

funny, I was into quake I, II big time... and NEVER played online... didnt think it was for me..

Until RTCW.... Now, playing online im hooked... its fun..... and funny... sometimes you see some funny, weird things... people are strange "to quote jim morrison".. ;)

get the beta, and try it online.. (beta is online only).... no single player in beta

I would bet you like it. :)

[bahamutX]

RtCW rocks, the graphics are splendid but the disappointing thing is that the AI may be good but still not good enough espically the snipers and some missions are damm LAME, lol

but overall the game rocks, I just hate the last level because is just too damm easy. Play the game and find out why!

[mervTormel]

now i remember dl'ing that back in oh, when, and i deleted it because it was network only, and dint feel like going thru the rigamarole of another online account (that day) *sigh* to beta test a game.

so, i'll check it out. glad we stopped the mod'r8r from deleting this thread. it's one of my favorites today.

Single player was ok, yes last level was waaaay to easy: my first strategy on it worked the first time and boom it was over.

Multiplay is great, my old WWII Myth buddies and I have been chomping at the bit for the full release for a long time!

[vonleigh]

Hello,

Here's my first impression of it after I wasted err -invested- like forty minutes playing it.

As soon as I opened it my mouse got like 50 times slower than it normally is, so much so that it was kind of painful to select anything on the interface.

After a bit of confusion I finally figure out that I need to tell it to look for the game on the internet and get on a server.

I got my butt kicked, like seriously kicked. My mouse was so slow that It would take me like three flicks of it just to move 90 degrees. Tried playing with the keyboard but that was even worse. I couldn't find any setting for the mouse sensitivity though.

All in all it was very frustrating, I didn't quite enjoy playing. My favorite multiplayer game has always been marathon though, so I'm not too used to using the mouse for this.

How do I make my mouse more responsive? Any other things to make the game more enjoyable?

Also, how do I get my mouse to the speed I have it without doing the whole "defaults write -globalDomain com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 5.2" and restarting/reloging in?

MT,

Perfect! Works exactly as advertised and I didn't even have to restart after installing it.

Thanks MT,

And that's why I don't like online play. There is always a gang of addicts who are masters of the game ready to kick your butt. They need to offer a pink uniform or something, to designate someone who doesn't have a clue. ;)

RTCB - Return to Castle BunnySlope

[powermacg4_450]

someone mentioned an online account... dont need that to play! Just launch the beta, find a server, and go..

Now, regarding gangs, who kick your butt... you will run into that sometimes, but not always.... (ive been on several times with newbies)

Getting my butt kicked has pissed me off in the past, but I try not to let it bother me.... sometimes I do the butt kicking, and sometimes I take it. lol

try picking a server with fewer people in it... like 5 or so.... hopefully, youll be among others who are new, and learning, and wont hurt ya "too" bad. ;)

[bahamutX]

For me whenn i played MP, I thought that sniping was an easy job. BAD IDEA, I got but butt kicked stright away. There's always someone out there that will just click the mouse faster thatn you and snipe you first. So I changed my role to a medic. And the medic rules. The medic can make a difference in combat.

Anyway, I'm a sniper now and I'm not to bad. These types of games just needs more practice and then you can start to trash people

[powermacg4_450]

I started as a lieutenant, and its still my favorite class.... although I can play em all... Im ok at sniping.... need to practice more.

I like being a med too.... its an important job, and most people dont like doing it.

as a soldier, I like using the panzerfaust.... its a cool weapon. :)

danke!

[Cheerios]

I havn't played in awhile, but i never really was a fan. I think getting trapped in front of a teammate w/ a flamethrower really kinda kills the fun. Dang friendly fire! ;) May do some playing tomorrow, though... never know... I didn't like counterstrike at first, either! ;)

[xi_hyperon]

This isn't clear to me... also, looking on Id's site I only see the same old beta 2. Where's the final, and is it only multiplayer?

[powermacg4_450]

mac final is out.... multi and single player.... cool game... I like it, but it requires a BIG mac... (no pun intended).

[bahamutX]

yeah, a powerful mac is needed even my 733 G4 can't handle the best of the best setting, but it's ok, the graphics is still good

[powermacg4_450]

I keep losing sound during play.... not sure why.... Im convinced its a bug.... I have found NO other game players with this problem.. only me.

just my luck...
