The shotgun was sorely missed in the PC game, but it makes its triumphant debut in Tides of War's single and multiplayer games and will be the default weapon for the engineer. But you won't go into this new campaign empty handed as Tides of War introduces a handful of new death-dealing items. There are hints that there's also something going on at good old Castle Wolfenstein, but here in Tides of War you're getting a peak into the events that lead to the storyline that unfolds in the original PC game.

As Blaskowics, you actually meet up with Agent One to investigate what the Nazis area doing in the northern parts of Africa in late 1943. You're getting the prologue to the escape and return to Castle Wolfenstein seen in the original PC game, and this includes fighting in new areas against new enemies. But if you're a veteran of the PC game, you're in for some major changes anyway when it comes to the single player game. Some of the missions will obviously have to be tweaked to accommodate the fact that both BJ Blaskowics and Agent One are tearing up the Third Reich but I suspect that the fun you'll be having will make these differences easy to overlook. There's a hint, not quite a promise, that the good folks at Nerve want to allow for co-op play over Xbox Live, but the official word on that is 'no comment' and 'to be determined.' Both of those responses are better than 'no' but they cause a painful kind of anxiety for those of us who would love to team up with buddies across the country and smoke some Nazis. The developers say they'll even allow gamers to use specific voice channels for offense, defense and the whole team.Д¬ooperative play through the single player missions of Tides of War will work if you hook up with other Xboxes via System Link or if you snuggle up to your buddy with two-player split-screen. As we've already seen with this initial crop of Xbox Live titles, the Voice Communicator changes everything when it comes to plotting and strategizing in your online shooter. However, it's the team games that emphasize the specialties of the different characters that should carry the day for Tides of War on Xbox Live, especially if it ends up being the only WWII themed online multiplayer game on Xbox next year. This new game type is more or less a Last Man Standing type where taking one frag means you're gone for the game.

This means that the Xbox Live multiplayer components of Tides of War will be rock solid with all of the game modes intact from the PC version plus one additional game type: Elimination. Nerve, the development studio behind the multiplayer aspects of the PC game, is handling development duties for the entire Xbox game, with id overseeing the entire process as executive producer. Mixing advanced German science and heavy doses of mysticism, Himmler's created some pretty frightening stuff and it's up to you as a member of the Office of Secret Actions to stop all of that wild evildoing. In the game, Himmler believes he's the living embodiment of an ancient evil rule and as such, he can raise an unstoppable army of supernatural soldiers to conquer the earth. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War expands on the true story of Heinrich Himmler's and Adolf Hitler's obsession with the occult as a means toward victory during WWII. Blasting Nazis and supernatural Nazi sympathizers will definitely have a place on the Xbox next year.

Compatibility with Xbox Live and an extended, enhanced and re-mixed single player game means Tides of War should have as much newness as you can get without making it a full Return to Castle Wolfenstein sequel. We're happy to tell you that the Xbox version of RTCW, subtitled Tides of War, will have just enough new content and enhanced features to make it worthy of that original name, giving it a standalone presence on the Xbox. The announcement that Activision was bringing the wildly popular Return to Castle Wolfenstein to the Xbox could've gone down as simply another case of a publisher cashing in on a popular franchise name. Releasing stale ports to the Xbox, seemed to be a favorite hobby for many third party publishers during the first year of the console's existence.
