Ok, so here's the situation. Wolfentstein: Enemy Territory was a free online first person shooter. While not officially the multiplayer for "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", we all know it was. During freshman year at college I do believe I spent more time playing that game than going to class.
So, they finally announced they are making a sequel. Yippie!!! Right? The correct answer is "Maybe". They have been extremely quite and not doing alot of promotions about this game. So far, they haven't officially announced anything about the multiplayer system. Also, the game goes for sale on August 18th and hardly even anyone knows this.
Another concern is that this is going to be the last Wolfenstein game distributed by Activision (the distributor), but ID (the developer) has already announced they will continue to make more. This has caused some in the industry to speculate that Activision might not want this game to do good.
The reason you ask why would they not want to make money? Because Activision is the distributor of a game series we all know very well called "Call of Duty". If Wolfenstein is a big success all future Wolfenstein games will be competing with the future Call of Duty games.
Just a tidbit of interesting drama I thought I would share.
