The New Order

You get to kill Nazis on the moon man! How awesome is that? With most FPS games relying on repeating mechanics time and time again, this game harkens back to classic shooters while also bring new excitement for gamers. With 11 hours of gameplay, players will enjoy every minute.
The game could use additional features, like online play or challenges, but is far from disappointing with just story missions. This game is worth your time. Bethesda does it again. The storyline brings you in close to the characters. The perk system works off your gameplay style, either stealthy or run-and-gun, leveling your perks according to how you progress. Great game without relying on multiplayer for appeal. Way to bring an ORIGINAL FPS back, keep it to its roots, but make a vastly incredible game with crazy awesome gameplay, gameplay mechanic and a deep rich personalized story that is only the begining of a New era for Wolfenstein and will leave you for more.
I for one can not wait for the Sequel and am hooked on these game The old blood Prequel that came out a year after this of which is also equally as good and the story of B. One of the best games for the money on X1.
Wolfenstein: The New Order Review
Great graphics, story and mechanics. Gripping story, great gameplay. You kill nazis on the moon what else can ask for?!?! A masterfully crafted title, Wolfenstein The New Order has story, guns, and plenty of Nazis for you to rip and shred apart in the most glorious of ways.

This isn't just a convenient plot device to bring the majority of the game's action into the Nazi-controlled world of You see, the Blazkowicz that emerges into this strange new world is still the same Blazkowicz of Wolfenstein 3D: The Line 's Martin Walker. He is a man who, as a side character excitedly exclaims, "was born to kill Nazis. If a switch needs a gentle press, Blazkowicz punches it. If a door needs opening, Blazkowicz kicks it down. For as much as The New Order's plot is about Blazkowicz rebelling against the Nazis' iron grip on the entire planet, it's also about the friction created when the original first-person shooter protagonist drops into a first-person shooter designed for As Blazkowicz escapes the institution and contacts the resistance, its members give him highly technical objectives--patch this module into the control tower so we can hijack this helicopter--as he stares back at them, dumbfounded.
Blazkowicz's inner monologue upon completing such an objective offers cogent insight into his thought process: Broke all your shit. But there is nothing wrong with Blazkowicz's brain. He simply says and does things a shooter protagonist from would say and do were complete motion capture and voice acting available at the time--most of which is shooting Nazis. Blazkowicz is positioned as a lens through which you see how the nature of first-person shooters has changed since his first appearance.
Tonally, the result is an overarching sense that the world has left Blazkowicz, and his intentional lack of nuance, behind.
The New Order was released to mostly positive reviews. The team saw this aspect as an opportunity to create everything at a very large scale, with very little limitations; "so many things that we can create, and work with, and expand on. However, the tasks required to unlock individual perks--such as stealth-killing a certain number of Nazis--are mostly actions that you perform naturally over the course of the game. There is enough variety in the combat spaces, and the enemy combinations within, that The New Order's levels feel well paced, and combat feels tense without being unmanageable or overwhelming. Blazkowicz finds a battery for a device that controls the camp robots, which he and Set then use to destroy the camp and rescue prisoners.
In combat, Blazkowicz even functions like a shooter protagonist--he needs health and armour pickups to stay alive, and he can carry all of his guns at the same time. This immediately allows for a wider range of options in any particular combat situation than a shooter with a weapon carry limit would offer.
Those guns are big, loud, and satisfying to shoot. Most weapons can be dual-wielded, which works well because you don't lose any accuracy by not aiming down the sights, a tweak that lends the combat a sense of finesse despite its fast pace. Individual enemy AI isn't particularly complex, but it works in the context of this kind of shooter.

Instead, larger enemies like Nazi robots add variety to combat through their increased threat and the fact that different tactics are required to take them down, such as using Tesla grenades to stun them, or shooting off specific pieces of armour. All the while the combat feedback is dialled to 11, with effects like near-comedic squelching sounds as stick grenades shatter Nazis into tiny giblets.
There is enough variety in the combat spaces, and the enemy combinations within, that The New Order's levels feel well paced, and combat feels tense without being unmanageable or overwhelming. Levels flow back and forth between tight corridors and wide, open arenas. A lunar museum sees Blazkowicz running through backstage passageways and around large, spacious exhibits. A level set on a massive, destroyed bridge requires Blazkowicz to squeeze through train carriages precariously dangling over the edge, whilst crossing back and forth over the larger, open structure of the bridge itself.
Though enemy numbers never reach those of the Doom or Serious Sam -like hordes, there is enough variety in the combat spaces, and the enemy combinations within, that The New Order's levels feel well paced, and combat feels tense without being unmanageable or overwhelming.

Some rudimentary yet functional stealth mechanics allow The New Order to craft entire levels where Blazkowicz is armed with nothing but a knife. These are interesting because they add variety to the game's pacing, providing quiet, tense moments in which you are required to pay attention to enemy patrols and lines of sight, but which don't end in a "game over" screen if you get spotted. The Resistance use the nuclear codes and the Spindly Torque to mount an assault on Deathshead's compound. Rescuing the captured resistance prisoners and evacuating them, Blazkowicz makes it to the top of the tower, struggling to Deathshead's workshop.
Inside, Deathshead greets Blazkowicz, revealing to him that he possesses the brain of the soldier that Blazkowicz chose to die, and puts it in a robot. The robot comes alive and assaults Blazkowicz, who defeats it and puts his friend to rest by destroying the brain. Commandeering a larger robot mecha, Deathshead then attacks Blazkowicz, who gets the upper hand and destroys the robot, dragging Deathshead out of it. He repeatedly stabs Deathshead, who pulls out a grenade which explodes, killing Deathshead and mauling Blazkowicz. As a gravely wounded Blazkowicz crawls towards a window, he mentally recites The New Colossus as he watches the Resistance survivors boarding a helicopter, alongside Anya and Set.
Seeing that they have reached safety, and bleeding heavily from his injuries, Blazkowicz orders the Resistance to fire the nuclear cannon. After developer MachineGames was founded, the employees all began brainstorming ideas, and pitching them to publishers. Bethesda Softworks, who had previously declined a pitch from MachineGames, suggested that they develop a new game from a franchise acquired by ZeniMax.
MachineGames inquired about developing a new game in the Wolfenstein series; the studio visited id Software, who approved of MachineGames' request for a new Wolfenstein game.

The game utilizes the engine to add a large amount of detail to the game world. This viewpoint is also influenced by the element of exaggeration, which is common throughout the game's design and has been acknowledged by the team as a development inspiration.
The New Order only features a single-player mode. The team felt that dividing focus and resources across both a single-player and an online multiplayer mode would be less efficient. The team attempted to develop characters that offer a unique experience to the game. They also strived to connect the thoughts and actions of all characters to the human experience, allowing players to know "why a person is doing what they are doing". The game's playable character , William "B. When developing the character of Blazkowicz for The New Order , MachineGames considered his appearances in previous games in the series.
When doing this, they realised that the character had never really developed at all throughout the games; "He's just the guy that you play," said Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing for Bethesda. The team discovered that they were interested in exploring his story, which is what they later invested in. Matthies said, "that's really interesting to me.
I love taking things and making them real.

Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, the game's main antagonist, has been previously featured as an antagonist of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and main antagonist of Wolfenstein For The New Order , the team achieved closure on his story; to do so in an effective way, they wanted to find an interesting angle to portray him: He described Fergus as "a tough as nails soldier, who gives [Blazkowicz] both support and a pretty hard time in the process".
Conversely, he saw Wyatt as a "sort of son surrogate", as Blazkowicz is tasked as being his protector and mentor, and that he gives "positive reinforcement". Alex Solowitz portrayed Max in the game. A large aspect of the game is the alternative history in which it is set, where the Nazis won the Second World War. The team saw this aspect as an opportunity to create everything at a very large scale, with very little limitations; "so many things that we can create, and work with, and expand on.
The New Order makes use of an original score that reflects the alternative universe depicted in the game. The team placed a high importance on the game's music.

Wolfenstein: The New Order
After studying Wagner's work, however, the team discovered that it didn't necessarily fit with the game's tone. They then searched for a style of music that would suit the Nazis, ultimately selecting distortion. They also took inspiration from s music , using analogue equipment such as tape machines and reel-to-reel machines. Gordon has said that the soundtrack is "a tribute to all things guitar".
In collaboration with each other, the team of musicians composed over six hours of music which scores the game. The campaign was crafted to introduce the video game's alternate history in the form of pop music from the s.
