to my knowledge RTCW was the first game with classes, and also classes which would dispense health and ammo and revive people, among other specialty roles.

i also think its the first game with tactical voice commands (which would also appear in chat). if it wasn't then it certainly was the first game which did it right. but i'm quite sure it was the first game to do this.

bf1942/bf2 and so many games after really took a lot from RTCW, but it was only natural because RTCW really did set such a standard where all of these features were necessary

i remember how great the gameplay was.
the community was great, and the native maps were also unique for the genera and done very well.
RTCW also had a ton of custom content. this is little known, but there are more custom maps and mods for RTCW than quake or any other FPS game.
