Half-Life or Wolfenstein

Hey, i could use some advice here. After reading posts on here i've become interested in the Day of Defeat mod for Half-life. I'm thinking about goin out and picking up the Platinum 2 edition. It has five games in it for a good price. But i'm also interested in Return to Castle Wolfenstein too (which is no longer coming out for XBOX). I'm wondering which one has the best mods, multiplayer, weapons and such. Or should i just say fuck it and get em both? Thanks!

Never played either game, but from what I've read, people are really going for the DoD mod for Half Life. I've heard some really negative things about the RtCW community...that alone will deter me from ever buying that one.

I'd go with Half-Life. The graphics are prolly a little dinkier, but the gameplay is supposed to be great and addictive.

Used to play RTCW, but the arcade like atmosphere and never ending parade of teamkilling drove me away, then again same can be said for MOH.

don't forget the ever-infestation of teammates who defuse your dynamite to place their own so they get the points. half life for sure

Never played RTCW muilti but the Single player game is fun in its own right, As long as you dont mind killing zombies. Graphics are great. Halflife/Counterstrike muilti is great, but is rampant with Cheaters. Don't know much about the DOD mod though, sounds pretty good though.

Right now I'm waiting for my C&C generals that I preordered, should be fun to do this game online. I'm a big fine of the RTS games, In fact I still play the old Harpoon (Great Naval RTS game, kind of dated though) and AOEII.

I like HL simply for the laser-guided rockets. I can have alot of fun with those. RTCW is cool for the rocket too, but the flamethrower is more fun.

As for multi, I think if the speed was knocked down a tad in RTCW, it would be excellent.

The single player in RtCW is worhty, but the MP sucks. As far as DOD or Half life/Counter stike goes, I prefer my games to be made in this century. Come ask me about MOH is three years and I will probably give you the same answer.
