Yes and Old Blood too :D

 

I prefer Old Blood for obvious reasons (The mighty of Castle Wolfenstein :P )

I have yet to play the Old Blood DLC myself however I have finished the original and it was fantastic.

 

The graphics were awesome, the story was a lot of fun, the weapons were great and the enemies were interesting.

 

The only thing I didn't like about it was it was the usual cliche of "Unt vee are zee germans KILL ZEE JUDEN!!" sort of hollywood shit they stereo type Germans into but hey it's just a game that doesn't take itself too seriously so whatever.

 

As a side note if you are interested in the fictional "what if the nazis won" sort of world, I really recommend checking out Amazons new series "The Man In The High Castle".

Nice, i might grab it for the price then too. :) I like what the company did in the past, the 2 Chronicles of Riddick parts, and Enclave. Just found New Order to be a little bit too much in the style of Inglorious Besterds instead of being what Wolfenstein used to be. Bit too much focus on Hollywood virtues like action bombast, "cool" characters, and some brash cheeky dealing with the historical content. Can't explain it really, Return to Castle Wolfenstein was more real, while at the same time being grotesquely over exaggerated and trashy. Just perfect. :) New Order didn't really capture that so well.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
