RealRTCW 5.0 mod for Return To Castle Wolfenstein adds new weapon animations, free-roaming hub location, checkpoint system, realistic ballistics and much more.

Modder 'WolfETPlayer' has released a brand new version of his incredible RealRTCW mod for Return To Castle Wolfenstein. According to its description, RealRTCW 5.0 adds new weapon animations, a freeroam hub location, a checkpoint system, realistic ballistics, and much more. So, let's take a closer look.

In RealRTCW 5.0, the modder reanimated 90% of the guns from scratch. Some of them even had multiple reload animations with an empty/not empty magazine.

Another cool feature is a new freeroam hub location for players to explore. Now, between each chapter, you will find yourself at the Malta OSA headquarters, where you can choose your equipment and delve into the archives. You can also visit the HQ to receive information and visit the local museum.

And that's not all. In the infirmary, you can get healed and talk to many NPCs in the city. In addition, you can test new weapons and follow the training course at the shooting range. Finally, you can rest in your quarters or go hunting for side quests and secrets.

But wait, there's more. The modder has also implemented a checkpoint save system. Throughout the game, your progress will now be saved automatically. So if you die, it will automatically load the last checkpoint.

Finally, RTCW 5.0 brings some optional mutators that you can use. One of them adds realistic movement to the game, while another adds realistic ballistics. With the Realistic Movement mutator, the game will gradually reduce your movement speed and reduce your jumping ability. Additionally, your character will holster his weapon when climbing a ladder or sprinting.

The Realistic Ballistics mutator adds a range function to every weapon. This means that each weapon will be effective at a specific distance. And if you shoot beyond this distance, the weapon will do less damage.

Overall, this seems like an amazing mod. So if you want to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein again, we suggest you download and use it.
