Wolfenstein includes comprehensive Nazi death stat tracker

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 25th 2009 at 11:59PM }

Stat tracking is nothing new for FPS games, but we have to hand it to Raven for being thorough. According to MTV Multiplayer, the upcoming Wolfenstein keeps track of not only how many Nazis you kill, but the manner in which they died. Multiplayer asserts that it saw a stat screen at 36 percent completion, which noted that 639 kills had been made. Using some simple math, the blog calculated that a total of 1638.4 Nazis will meet their doom by the end of the game.

Now, we hate to criticize, but that's assuming the rate of Nazi influx is constant, which it almost assuredly is not. Still, regardless of exactly how many have fallen by the end, we take comfort in the fact that we'll know exactly how many were dissolved, dismembered, burned and electrocuted. Strangely, the game doesn't appear to keep track of the number that have killed the old fashioned way: with a bullet.

It would be hard to kill them if they looked like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3320/3661189687_af0259f22c_o.jpg

although, i'm also hoping there is 6,000,001 Nazi's to kill!

Enough Nazis, enough Japanese, how about we get those gosh darn Fascist Italians?

DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jun 26th 2009 12:34AM

SWEET!

I've always wanted a Nazi death stat tracker.

DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jun 26th 2009 12:34AM

-_- didn't mean to rely to you.

sean @ Jun 26th 2009 12:50AM

dont think so. italians dont deserve to die. ill let you kill mussolini but thats it. No More.

Cosmo (formerly Chin-Poh) @ Jun 26th 2009 1:13AM

I just wanna kill something else and I don't think there's any games (popular ones at least) that have the Italians as bad guys in WW2.

Sly @ Jun 26th 2009 2:19AM

i wanna play as the baddies for once. alternate reality WWII where the axis wins. you get to play as germans, japanese, and italians and get to butt rape the french, brits, russkies, and americans. that would be awesome.

Cosmo (formerly Chin-Poh) @ Jun 26th 2009 2:40AM

I know Sly, but you'd have to get some small indie game developer to do that and make a game that nobody would hear of. All people want is Americans kicking the shit out of Nazis.

Charlie_Six @ Jun 26th 2009 2:50AM

Cosmo, you fight the Italians for a little bit in Medal of Honor Airborne.

Cosmo (formerly Chin-Poh) @ Jun 26th 2009 11:22AM

Thanks, I did not know that.

BananaBoat @ Jun 26th 2009 12:28AM

Ok, it may be REALLY nitpicky, but does that number include werewolf and maybe even undead Nazi's? If it doesn't, it's not accurate, and I can't accept it's legitimacy.

Jawmuncher @ Jun 26th 2009 12:46AM

But still no robot hitler

Sorry it had to be said.

The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 12:53AM

you're damn right it did

The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 12:53AM

wow, only 1638? Most of my friends and me always assumed our nazi kill count was in the millions, let alone our total nazi/cop/alien/robot kills. But man, only 1700 in one game?

Peace Fog @ Jun 26th 2009 12:53AM

Bullets would be just too easy of a way to kill Nazi's, that's why Raven will not track it! If you want to kill a Nazi Dissolved or Shot?

dv8withn8 @ Jun 26th 2009 11:49AM

It does keep track of bullet kills too. It simply doesn't call them out specifically. Look at the screenshot on MTV. The "special kills" don't exactly add up to the total at the top. The remainder would be your bullet kills.

eNrique @ Jun 26th 2009 1:11AM

Why do you have to write the word "nazi" with a N (capital)?
Speaking aside of videogames,I don't think they don't even deserve to be mentioned.

U U D D L R L R B A SELECT START @ Jun 26th 2009 1:16AM

...

Just because Nazi's committed some of the most heinous war crimes in modern history doesn't mean they shouldn't mean mentioned at all......... As the adage goes, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jun 26th 2009 1:37AM

@eNrique

That's some ignorant stuff broseph.

Pablos102030 @ Jun 26th 2009 4:06AM

It was a political party, so it technically should be capitalized. Just grammar dude.
Lol, grammar Nazi.

DTNeotericDope @ Jun 26th 2009 2:08AM

Maybe we shouldn't mention The British, The Americans, The French, The Mongols, The numerous Dynasties of China, The Rulers of Russia throughout the years and many others in Ancient and Modern History. How about we just forget names like Napoleon, Ghengis Khan, Nero, Henry the VIII, Julius Caesar. Any person who has been a purveyor of war-some more vicious than others-all have a place in history as being brutal. But we shalt not forget the names in history because that would be a mistake. I for one am hoping that Wolfenstein turns out to be a great game.
