Hey RTCW maniacs!
Today is the day! The very first major update since 5.0 launch! Its the RealRTCW 5.1 day! Lets go through the highlights!
New gamemode - Survival
This is the highlight of RealRTCW 5.1 update.
80% of 5.1 development time was spent developing Survival mode.
So what it is exactly? Here is the breakdown:
- Infinite waves of enemies. Some maps feature human enemies, other - undead.
- Earn points! Kill enemies with knife or with headshot to earn more!
- Spend points! Perks, weapons, traps, friendly reinforcements.
- Flame traps. Be careful not to burn yourself!
- Friendly reinforcements. Two valiant soldiers to help you out to survive the onslaught!
- Powerups. Enemies will drop powerups and treasures from time to time. Make sure to pick them up before they disappear to gain temporary buffs!
- Perk system with 6 perks. You can only equip 3 at once. So choose wisely!
- Player class system. Soldier, Medic, Engineer and Lieutenant. Each one with his own abilities. Hardcore players can play without any bonuses and abilities by choosing no class.
- Four maps on release. Castle Wolfenstein, Kugelstadt, Defiled Church and Castle Keep. More to come later!
New Achievements
New five achievements related to Survival mode are also live. Here's the list.
New weapon - HDM pistol
New free weapon for all players to use - HDM Silenced Pistol! Its accurate, fast, completely silent, holds 10 bullets but does very little damage to the body. So aim for the head! It is featured in stealth chapters of the game, as well as in survival mode.
Wulfburg Village Remaster
Yet another map remaster is arrived! This time its a village of Wulfurg! A lot of visual improvements were introduced as well as cut content restored. I wont spoil anything! You need to discover it yourself!
Realistic movement improvements
Realistic movement option introduced in 5.0 was a bit tweaked to be less frustrating. Movement is a bit faster, stamina is increased, as well as jump height.
Malta HQ improvements
Malta hub area introduced in 5.0 was improved as well. Almost all environment models were replaced with out custom ones! Chairs, wardrobes, beds, phones, etc.
Some areas like medbay were remade from scratch! Also i resolved blinking entities issue while going through the doors. It should be working just fine right now.
Hitsounds
Hitsounds from Enemy Territory are now available in RealRTCW. Go to the sound settings and enable those for headshots and bodyshots sounds on your enemies!
Localized versions and 5.1 compatibility
Localized versions of the RealRTCW are currently not fully compatible with 5.1 update. Updates will be coming in the following days. For now just use the english version of the game.
