Where are there people to play with?
I have the Steam version of the game. Is there an easy way to get it up and running to play with people? Is there still a community?

This is one of my favorite fps games

Hey there! Welcome!

Yes you can still play with people and there is still a community. There are a couple active servers on the 1.0 version of RtCW, and there is one very popular server on 1.51 version. (don’t worry, the steam version allows you to play on both)

When you install RtCW on steam and launch multiplayer, make sure you click the button “Get New List”.

The very popular 1.51 server name is: ECGNetwork.com 24/7 Beach

The popular 1.0 server is called Chicago DM

We would love to have you fragging out with us, hope to see you soon!

There is also an OSP community that gathers on Sundays and Thursdays.
The game is actually free to download, and is recommended over the steam version because the steam version has issues with punkbuster
Here is the discord link where you can find the download & get assiatance if you’re having any difficulty

Thank you! I'll look into this.. What is OSP?

I seem to have version 1.4 of RtCW.
I managed to find some servers, but I get higher ping than advertised on them-
The server list says \~70 ping, but when I'm playing it is consistently \~150 ping.

Anyway, most servers have bots. And some have downloadable packages that prevent me from joining, and I'm not sure how to obtain them as the links that I'm prompted with are often broken...

Should I be in 1.4? How should I get patches?

Is there something I can do to improve my ping?

Thanks for reaching out :)

I will send you a private message to the RtCW Level Design discord. I can help you get set up there :)

Orange smoothies productions, it was a mod on Wolfenstein mostly used in tournaments.

Mannnnnn, I miss this game.

I miss the days of playing CAL matches using the Orange Julius Mod. I just liked how the quake engine was consistent, clean and without much issue. cK . NARF/ fx. I even remember a player named warrior who loved abusing the binding in the settings that would automatically center your crosshair very convenient and OP to the center of where you'd want to anticipate headshots.

So many memories.

Clan Kapitol! syz error/ and whomever else I played with! cheers!

Omg..i loved this game. People still play?

Warrior still plays on and off. The center view setting was blocked in 2003, but he proved to be a worthy player. Won quakecon2020.

I stumbled on this post and just wanted to say all those names you threw out gave me a huge dose of nostalgia.
