RTCW is still a great shooter, and RealRTCW is arguably the best way you can play it (even for a first playthrough) in the modern day. It feels less like a community mod and more like a Nightdive Studios-style remaster. A few options you can revert back to their old versions too.
Some of the new weapons added are great, most notably the shotgun which felt absent in the base game. It's not something I used much, but it made the usual frustrating zombie chapters much more enjoyable since it's great for dealing with them. The new pistol and assault rifle/LMG hybrid were great too.
Still do have some of the smaller issues with the game that I did before, such as the final boss being particularly bad along with the blinding ghost enemies being very frustrating. Still, this mod makes changes where it counts along with proper widescreen support. If I do replay RTCW again, this will likely be how I do it.
