Info del multiplayer.
Alright, so yesterday I spoke to a friend that got into wolfenstein closed beta(he knows one of the employees at endrant so np for the lucky bastard, closed in an understatement as he says there are only about 60 people in the beta) and he told me some infos about the MP beta, now I can't say his name or nick because he's not allowed to share anything about the game so don't ask, enough to say that he played rtcw years ago and et only until 2005 when he transferred to cod so this community would probably not know him or not remember him.
He told me the following:
* MP game is different to what you see from SP footage, it is faster
* gameplay is NOT fast as ET but not as slow as cod, it is somewhere between but fast enough
* jumping is almost the same as in etqw, it is possible to go very fast
* shooting from hip is almost the same as in ET though it is noticable that the spread is a bit higher but not by much, still way less than in cod
* it is possible to sprint and shoot from hip
* ironsight is not bad at all and from what I've seen it is used mostly for long range shooting, it is harder to control it in f2f combat
* melee is done in the same way as in cod, one punch from any direction and enemy is down
* maps are approximately the same size as ET maps
* most part of gameplay is in closed areas
* gameplay types: stopwatch, capture the flag, deathmatch, last man standing, team deathmatch
* stopwatch is same as in ET, only thing I've noticed so far is that there are more objectives than in ET to do in order to complete the map
* graphic tweakings are possible and you don't have to have a monster PC in order to run the game smoothly
* there are 2 types of medics, one that has only the reviving kit and one with medipacks and ammopacks, you can't have both
* reviving takes roughly 3-4 seconds and is NOT done only with syringe, if both medics are present the reviving is faster by double
* there are no airstrikes but artillery is here
* soldier class is the most versatile one with a lot of different weapons to use
* engineer with rifle is very powerful and he can snipe same as soldier, otherwise his role is almost the same as in ET
* veil is used in MP but only in certain areas of the map and for some objectives, it's not used in the same way as in SP, sometimes it is used like UAV in cod4 and it lasts only a few sec
* it takes 2 hs or 5 bodyshots to kill someone, hitboxes are a bit weird at the moment but I guess that will be fixed
* gun sounds are very close to the ones from cod5
* flamethrower is almost the same as in cod5
Now, I've seen a few screenshots and it doesn't look half bad, it's definitely got the rtcw feeling and we might not have another etqw incoming.
Believe me or not, but we'll see pretty soon.
