TV TROPES NEW ORDER PLUS

As many gamers have pointed out, the Nazi music in the game is really good.

Evil Is Cool: As despicable as the Nazis are, their armor, robots and weaponry is pretty nifty.

Though not as popular as Fergus, Wyatt is also quite popular, due to his light-hearted and Adorkable Gosh Darn It to Heck! and The All-American Boy personality that contradicts with the Darker and Edgier tone of the game and the fact he's really a Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass who is every bit as helpful as Fergus.

Fergus is also rather popular, likely because of his snarky attitude and status as the Only Sane Man.

Caroline and Tekla have both been discussed as positives in the game due to being well-done female characters in a genre that typically doesn't have much time for them.

Anya seems to have become pretty popular based on her actions in the game and her actual backstory plus the implied backstory of her being an underground Nazi-killer.

J, just by the virtue of him being Jimi Hendrix, including playing the acid rock version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner just before he goes down.

Unlike the Fire Troopers, they don't have a weak spot, and can dish out damage just as quickly, if not more so, than the Fire and Rocket Troopers.

The chaingun-wielding Super Soldiers are even worse.

The only consolation is that they're weak to rear attacks. Fire Troopers get even worse when they start packing shrapnel rounds, which can bounce and rip nice large chunks out of your health (especially when you're low on armor). This is especially a problem when they attack during a firefight with dozens of weaker enemies.

The shotgun-wielding Fire Troopers and their cousins the Rocket Troopers are heavily armored, impossible to stealthily kill, and rarely - if ever - miss when firing.

Creepy Awesome: Deathshead looks like he has a skull for a face (which is how he got the name), and he rarely ever raises his voice above a contemptible whisper.

Fully committed to his scientific legacy and believing compassion does not befit the 'Master Race', Deathshead represented the worst of the Third Reich. Finally confronted by B.J., Deathshead takes his dissected friendВ’s brain and places it in a robot as a fully conscious slave-a fate he intends for all his dissected victims and B.J. Using the fruits of his terrible experiments to give the Nazis victory and establishing a cruel dictatorship, Deathshead continues his experiments by forcing a mental asylum to give him subjects and then ordering his soldiers to murder all the remaining patients when he decides he does not need them anymore.

being Forced to Watch before Deathshead leaves the survivor to burn alive.

Capturing protagonist William Joseph 'B.J.' Blazkowicz, Deathshead forces him to choose which of his two friends he will painfully dissect, B.J.

Complete Monster: Nazi General Wilhelm Strausse, better known as 'Deathshead', was also the main villain of the previous two games, but really makes his mark here.

Catharsis Factor: After seeing all the horrors the Nazis commit, nothing feels better than blasting the bastards into Ludicrous Gibs.

Some players preferred the lighter and more cartoonish approach of the previous games, and felt that, while The New Order certainly deserved to exist, the Wolfenstein franchise was a poor place to put it.

Broken Base: There's been some pushback on The New Order due to the fact that it represents a Darker and Edgier shift for the series.

Melissa Hollick's version of I Believe is a mix of this and Tear Jerker.

Mick Gordon's score also counts, thanks to it being a great mix of heavy metal, melancholic guitar riffs and bizarre electronic work.
