The ancient Greeks saw history, to a large extent, as a record of the conflict between East and West. That is certainly a viable idea. There are, in a very general sense, two cultures in the world— Western and Eastern. The former would include ev erything from the Orthodox-influenced culture of Russia to the secular culture of the United States. The latter would include the Far Eastern culture of China and Japan, both deeply non-Western in spite of a Western veneer, and a wide variety of other cultures, many of them Islamic.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a sequel to the early, seminal first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D. However, with the advances in graphics technology and gameplay design since the original game, without the name and the occasional in-game references, it might be unrecognizable as a part of the series.features a story-based single player campaign (taking up many of the themes from the original game), as well as a team-based networked multiplayer version which features different character classes that must work together in order to win, similar to the concept of Team Fortress. Although there are only four classes - lieutenant, medic, engineer, and soldier - the soldier can be one of several subclasses depending upon the special/heavy weapon that he selects. Some unique weapons not found in other WWII-themed first-person shooters include the airstrike beacon. The multiplayer demo included a beachhead assault map similar to the opening of the movie Saving Private Ryan.
