The mp is fucking awful. The SP is well done, so props to Raven. I really miss Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Logged countless hours, my most played Xbox game. The new *Multiplayer* for Wolfenstein is awful.
Congratulations Obama, you've fixed all of Americas problems including healthcare and the economy! You can leave now.
Aren't you supposed to fire people on a Friday? Gives em time to , you know, cool off and put the AK down?
This is exactly why I always advocate to anyone thinking about quitting your job to just walk out on your employer. If it's a right to work state, you can screw them just as bad as they can screw you.
@AlienGuy18: Please explain what Obama has to do with this story.
According to the article that was sourced in this post, the UK based company that worked on the multiplayer component of the game reduced headcount the day the game released. Since they were working on contract, they were most likely already paid out for their services before the game was released, or were paid out for each milestone that they reached during development.
Since they were contracted out by the publisher,"remember, a game usually goes gold 1-2 months before its street date for manufacturing", I don't see the point of that statement. You don't know how much they were paid to do the work, nor do you know the details of the contract. The contractors were also working out of the UK, in which I am pretty sure Obama has no oversight over their business practices.
Oh yeah, the reduction of a studio's workforce once a title is complete.... this happens a lot more frequently than you probably realize.

What the fuck? Don't tell me this is just for the publisher to have more income. That's bullshit.
Another one in the boycott list.

I got fired on a Monday. I remember it well. It was the Monday Mega Man 9 was released.

This is absolutely not unheard of for the gaming industry, especially for small studios no one's ever heard of, attached to large projects on contract.

I was making a joke about a person getting canned after completing a goal. But I guess using the word Obama on the internet is instantly construed as hate speech...

Well actually there being fired before the game is even out considering games come out on Friday's over here. EVEN WORSE
Also considering the MP studio for this game has just been decimated I wouldn't hold your breath for any DLC! Although from what people have been saying here the multiplayer isn't good enough anyway.

* Bad timing. And bad publicity for the game. And much worst for who lost your job.Well, donīt expect great support for the online part of game.
If they had been fired pre-release, they would not have been able to add "shipped Wolf" to their resumes, correct? If so, they got the best of a bad situation.
@Xzyliac and AlienGuy18: So I didn't get it. *shrug* Oh well, sometimes they fly over my head.
@Monodi: Nobody knows why they were canned, so your guess is as good as anybody.

Man I figured this was going to happen with the MP... Splash Damage was kept out, and they put some low name companies on a IP like this..unfortunately I don't think they really had much of an option considering SD has been working with their own Quake Wars, and the new Brink game. Thankfully from what ive heard the single player is a blast.. cudos to Raven for not butchering the game too bad :).
in before the mindless "yet another shit game [made] by id Software"

Well the designers don't take in any of the revenue from sales they are already paid for their work in terms of a salary, or that is at least what I always thought for most game companies excluding those whose staff are the original investors.
Errrr...they say that they are valued people and hard working!? Why the hell would you fire them than?! WTF?
Well that explains why the game was such crap. They must have known they were getting fired after release.
The MP for PS3, looks like PS2 game. Maybe even worse than some PS2 games.

Wow - that's just rude. I hate how corporations can fire people and call it "adjustments" to save their own ruddy profit margins. And we wonder why the worlds economy is failing.
So I see a lot of "this game was shitty comments".
Can anyone else weigh in? I have a few friends who want to buy it for 360, so I'm considering it.
If the MP isn't even close to World At War, however, I see no need to spend $60 on a worse WWII game without Nazi Zombies Mode.

@Magnalon Do not buy it, the single player is better than MP, however not by much. The graphics pass in SP there still poor but they pass. The game is kind of repetitive. It's sort of if GTA4 was released and it only had one island that was cut in half. The games "open" mission, but it's at the same time not it just gives the illusion of choice. You move about the same streets over and over.
MP graphics is worse than PS2 or in your case probably the Xbox.
This game is so bad, that they didn't even bother putting screen shots of the game on the box. (Check it out for yourself at the store). Instead they put artwork on the back. That's how bad it is.
Trust me you do not want to get had for your money. I did, because I was so convinced they could not screw up RTCW formula they had. My "BS" meter was tingling when I picked it up but I got it anyway.

I thought this is more the typical behavior on games these days. Unless the game was planning on adding more material to the multiplayer, why would they need to keep them around? Besides, I imagine they had a pretty good inkling of what lay ahead when that very issue was put to rest.
It kind of makes sense, seeing as once the game's released there won't be any more work for them to do. Usually its also that the company simply can't bring in enough new projects to keep the employees working, so they're forced to make cuts just to stay afloat until the economical crisis passes.
It sucks, but its most likely not a case of "Evil Corporations being scumbags", its just how the industry is right now.

I'm having ALOT of fun with the Single Player. I don't plan on trying out the Multiplayer until I'm finished with the Campaign. I'm surprised this game isn't getting a lot more attention. Wolfenstein is one of the biggest IPs in video gaming history, especially after the excellent Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
@Volomon
So ignorant. You come across as a serious troll. I would respect your opinion if it didn't seem like obvious flamebait. The graphics are just fine. Not every game released has to push the envelope in terms of graphics. I know it looks great on my computer. The graphics do a perfect job of conveying the feeling of the gameplay. This is some great old-school fun people. Can't say about the console versions.

Alright, good job everyone. Let's play a game, everyone who still has a job step forward. Not so fast!
What a crappy thing to do to somebody. I know the industry is hurting and all, but still, bad press like this right away? Not a good sign for their game :/
For the uninformed Endrant was a splinter company that broke off from Splash Damage. Makers of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The best mp fps ever made.
IS it just me, or did anyone else not even realize this was out because it wasn't on the STEAM main page?
So, I guess the 'Beat Madden sales to get a free game' didn't happen? (lol, satire)
Not only did they obscure the game to death, but canned the MP people on release day... wow. I'm glad I saved my money and got a used game instead (Civ Revolutions for under $27 = hell yes).
Sad, as I really enjoyed previous Wolf SP, but not enough to buy an abandoned turd, for full price.
