If you don't want to run that command every time; You can use fusion-icon which are available through the repo.

Or making a script;

nano Launch-RTCW.sh

add the following;

#!/bin/bash

metacity --replace &

<RTCW:ET executing command>

compiz --replace &


Save [ctrl]+[o] and Exit [ctrl]+[x]

chmod +x Launch-RTCW.sh

This script will first disable compiz then run the game. After you exiting the game it wil enable compiz again.
