Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

[jro]

Anyone else DL this so far? It's a sizable download, 38 gigs or so, so I had to stop playing when I hit the edge of the install, but it's solid.

It's notable for (at least IMO) making some refinements to New Order and then making it balls-to-the-wall all the time, basically. New Order isn't a hard game at all, but OB is seriously challenging. Feels like the goal was to make an old-school FPS. Has a slightly different feel from NO, in that the best strategy seems to be to run and gun, rather than take cover (dudes WILL flank you and they will also spam grenades to high heaven).

Anyway, it's $20 and is kind of reminiscent of old PC expansions.

I'm enjoying it so far. I loved The New Order, so liking this is pretty easy.

I hated New Order because it WASN'T as run and gun as I'd liked, maybe this is worth checking out after all.

So I've heard the add on is not that great. Any reports?

I ran through NO in god mode as murdering Nazi's really should be done without impediment. I'm looking forward to playing old blood in just the same way.
