Ok so I kind of neglected the round up series when I went on holiday, but now i am back i will now Finish it off with 3 more games!
Back when I was about 4 years old a game was released for MS-DOS which popularised the FPS genre. This game was called Wolfenstein 3D. It wasn’t until about 2 or 3 years later I was in front of the PC killing pixelated Nazis in “Can I play daddy” mode.
Nine yeas later in 2001 I was then happily sitting in front of my original X box console, Again killing Nazis and zombies from the crypt in The game Return To Castle Wolfenstein. The Recent game still offered the nostalgia, still had some references to the original. I was was in a small FPS heaven at the time.
Now eight years later it is coming back again as of next month we will be returning to World War II Germany to kill some Nazis and of course to kill some zombies. The game that is just being dubbed Wolfenstein promises to mix of unmatched exploration, action and espionage.
You play as B.J. Blazkowicz who is a member of the office of secret actions (OSA). You are sent on a mission into the Reich to discover and find evidence of the Nazi’s possession of a mysterious new power.
Behind enemy lines you discover a power that the Nazi’s are harnessing is of of a parallel dimension known as The Veil.. This dark power will enable the Nazi’s to create a weapon to end the war and possibly the human race.
But that’s not all, during the game when you are behind enemy lines you will have a mixture of human and veil enhanced weapons at your disposal. Giving you the option of taking the Nazi’s down the traditional WWII way or turning their Veil enhanced weapons against them.
Confirmed weapons for the game are as follows:
- MP40 The Nazi Automatic SMG with a 32 clip and a 200 max pouch
- Kar 98 A bolt action rifle with a 5 clip and a 30 max pouch
- MP45 The automatic assault rifle of the game. Packs a 30 clip with a 200 max pouch
- Flammenwerfer aka the flame thrower! this weapon packs a 200 charge with 3 units of continuous fire power
- Panzerschreck the Nazi Rocket launcher! With a 500 charge!
- Particle Cannon This is one of the veil modified weapons not much is known about it except that it is a beam weapon. (In my opinion maybe some sort of rail gun)
- Telsa Cannon A veil electric charge weapon. (maybe something like the lightening gun from the quake series)
Those are the first confirmed weapons of the game. As for enemies you will get the bog standard Nazi infantry men. Also flame thrower troopers, elite guards etc. But you will also get a collection of veil enhanced enemies such as The Altered, which a grotesque creatures who were once human and have been infected badly by the veil, veil assassins who use the dark power to their full advantage, utilising stealth sill and quick reflexes. Veil Heavy troopers, which use the veil for protection and power, and the Desploited. Who are deceased Nazis who have been given veil power and have risen from the dead (yay Nazi zombies!)
As you can see Wolfenstein has stayed loyal to the series and is still very much with the idea of Nazi zombies. I cannot wait for this game.
