Funny to think of RTCW as old classic gaming. I bought the original Wolfenstein 3D from Apogee/id back in 1993. Played it (and Doom) for way too many hours on my 486 DX 33 Mhz. RTCW seems modern to me, lol.

RTCW is still better than many other modern games IMHO. One of the most beautiful games ever.

Exactly. It was beautiful in its simplicity. It played well the maps were fun, varied, and not too confining like the usual arena's of the times. Even DoD couldn't quite get it (where was the flamethrower!)
