Wolfenstein is a storied name in video games. The original was one of the first first-person shooters, when it came out in 1981, and ever since the series has returned every now and again to take players back into Nazi hunting action.
In 2003, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was due to be released. Originally planned as an expansion pack for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it was decided that it would become a standalone game. However, due to problems with the single-player portion of Enemy Territory, only the multiplayer was made available.
At the time, id and Activision said, “Desite a strong efffort from talented developers, the single player portion of the game did not progress as anticipated.” The multiplayer portion of Enemy Territory was to become a source of inspiration. There was even a “Last Man Standing” mode and the experience points gained to use for weapons would influence subsequent shooters, but the single player campaign was never to be.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was fairly revolutionary for its time, being one of the first class-based shooter games to offer an experience progression system, something which now seems standard for many online multiplayer shooters. But the game always felt like it was lacking something without a solo campaign, which can be so important in establishing a shooter’s presence and credibility.
However, a modder known as William Faure has given Wolfenstein fans the chance to experience what that campaign might have been like. His mod creates a story campaign in a rather clever way, by bringing together Enemy Territory’s maps to create a unified experience. There is even a trailer for it, featuring decidely retro-looking graphics.
There will be a co-op version of the mod that will launch on November 30 and is being tested right now. To try the the Wolfenstein: Enemy story campaign mod players will need to have Return to Castle Wolfenstein installed and an overhaul mod.
The single player mod is available on Steam – where it is described as ‘the missing link of the classic Wolfenstein series’ – and also on Mod DB. A trailer for it can be viewed here.
