Trivia / Wolfenstein (2009)

• Creator Backlash: Bethesda, which acquired id Software in mid-development, was unhappy with how the game turned out, and believe Activision "did a crap job on it". This is most likely one of the reasons why digital sales of the game have been removed.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Due to the dispute between Raven Software, Activision, and Bethesda themselves, the game is unavailable on all forms of digital distribution, making it impossible to obtain other than buying a physical CD-copy (which includes a now no longer working disc-check method; you could obtain a no-CD crack, but that's of questionable legality), so the console ports on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will probably be your best bet to play the game legally.
• The Other Darrin:
  • In Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the OSA Director was played by the late Tony Jay. In this game, he was replaced by Robin Atkin Downes, who also pulls double-duty as the new voice of Deathshead.
  • B.J. Blazkowicz is now voiced by Peter Jessop, taking over for Matthew Kaminsky from the console ports of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
• Sequel Gap: Eight years from Return to Castle Wolfenstein in 2001 to this game (shortened to 6 if you count Splash Damage's Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory from 2003), and then five years from this to MachineGames' Wolfenstein: The New Order.
• Screwed by the Network: id Software, the company which owns the Wolfenstein license, was bought out by Bethesda Softworks (a competing publisher to Activision) before the game was released, causing the game's publisher to not try its hardest to market the game.
