hmm i know its an multiplayer test but i constantly have connect problems with RtCW, the Netcode is horrible.
The Sound is poor compared to DoD (germans speak english *g*). The Flamethrower and the Sniperrifle are damn good tho. The Weapons Modells reminds me a bit of Quake weapons

DoD still have the most realistic modelled IMHO.
But like Dowding said, it doesn't beat DoD's gameplay. I hope they build in a Flamethrower in DoD v2.0.

I agree GhostFT. The whole game is 'stylised' - but I liked that.

I hope DoD has a sniper rifle like the one in this game (or Deus Ex) - the current sniper rifle is ridiculously easy to use. And the flame thrower would be appreciated.

I tried it out, and had a hell of a ball playing it, but it is way too arcady for me to actually spend money on it.

I prefer and think that the weapons/damage model of a game like Rainbow6/Rogue Spear is much more realistic.

With the weapons the way they are, and the very high movement rates (especially laterally) I find that the standard combat tactics are the Doomish strafe and move sideways in a circle around your opponent really fast, hoping that you have a superior computer system and you are the low ping bastard.

I see alot of strange combats/deaths with some really obvious lag effects which takes alot of the fun out of it for me.

The game looks great, I think the map is outstanding (love to see the others), and I've definitely had fun playing it. But the arcade "cheese factor" is just too high for me to spend my money on it.

Now, the new release seems to be doing it all over again. I hate that I am stuck here at work while you dweebs are discussing the game's virtues. A plague of FDBs on you all!
