Vendetta

Author: Yo$hik
# of levels: 4
Rating: 4/10
Difficulty: Easy to medium

Released as a final version in the year 2012, Vendetta is an obviously rushed 4 level addon for Rtcw. It does have a custom menu with 2 custom soundtracks, one for the main menu and the other on gameplay during level 2. There are a lot of design errors, and the AI just stand around, and usually don't even chase the player after seeing him. The AI seem to have high accuracy, which may or may not be a good thing. Honestly, I think that either this, or the original Devils Manor, is Yo$hik's first work.

The atmosphere is sadly very weak. AI soldiers just stand around, waiting for the player to attack them. The music is used good, but this addon still lacks atmosphere. The enemies you fight are just Nazi soldiers armed with mp40's, with a few armed with the mauser rifle. The objective in each map is to eliminate the Nazi officer. There are some custom textures, models, and sounds as well, most of them from Medal of Honor Allied Assault. The gameplay ranges from easy to medium. I say medium because the AI soldiers seem to have high accuracy. But since you will just be fighting soldiers with mp40's and mauser rifles, it should still be pretty easy.

There are some secret areas, 1 in level 1, and 2 in level 2. The secret in level 1 contains a health pack and a pack of grenades. Level 2's secrets contain a treasure item (gold bar), some mp40 ammo, and a health pack. Health is somewhat not plentiful, but ammo is pretty balanced. I've noticed that the ammo and health you normally get are reduced in the amount of health or ammo they provide. For example, the large health pack, which normally gives you 50 health, gives you 30 health instead. That makes the gameplay more difficult. Level 4 is just a map using mp_beach as a base, with the texturing and some terrain changed. Overall, I think if more bugs would have been eliminated, this addon could have been better. =)
