Greenbrier on the Rhine

Difficulty: Easy

During the summer of 2011, a 2 level addon for Rtcw Sp was made. It's name was Greenbrier on the Rhine. In the end, development of this addon was rushed, but somehow it was pretty good. It's my fault for rushing it some, because I had plenty of time to get it finished, perfected, and released.

The objective in both levels is to eliminate all Nazi officers residing in the Greenbrier Secret Bunker. Don't think that you will just be fighting Nazis, because there are some surprises awaiting you...  ;)

This addon was roughly based on the real Greenbrier secret bunker located in West Virginia, United States. Both loading screens use real pictures of the Greenbrier bunker, which helps make this addon unique. We took something that exists in the real world, and gave it a "Rtcw theme". In reality, the bunker was used as a "secret shelter" for the U.S. President as well as other important U.S. leaders.

Here is some great info on the real bunker.

The real bunker was hidden well; the entrance door was made to look like an ordinary storage building door instead of a bunker. I wish that we could have perfectly replicated the real bunker in this addon, but sadly I didn't have the mapping skills back then that I have now.

Vicpas (author of The Fortress) really was a big help in the creation of this addon. I do regret relying on him so much, especially since I could have had the addon beta tested a few times by the guys at the Russian Wolfs Lair Forums. I say this because I know he got angry at us a few times for needing his help so much, and I apologize for that.

Now, onto the addon itself. The gameplay is pretty easy, but "newbies" and players who aren't good at sp may find parts of this addon difficult. Like I said, there are some surprises, so always stay on your toes. Have your weapon reloaded and ready to go. This addon uses a custom texture (the mirror with reflection), some sounds, music, and models. There is 1 secret area, which is on level 2. Some goodies it has are: health, ammo, different kinds of treasure, and an armored helmet.

The player starts behind the Greenbrier Hotel, right outside the secret bunker. Night time has arrived, and BJ used the cover of darkness to sneak around the hotel guards until he reached the bunker entrance. Armed with a silenced luger, sten, and knife, BJ is ready to clean out the Greenbrier Bunker, and cripple the Nazi chain of command by eliminating the bunker's officers.

This addon could have been better, and I did notice some bugs with AI and level design, which is why I gave the rating of this addon a 7/10. But it was a good effort to replicate the real thing, so overall I think this addon is worth playing. =)
