Math shows that Wolfenstein will have 1,638 kills photo

Here's a little bit of non-news that involves math. MTV Multiplayer got some time with the upcoming Wolfenstein, and during their gameplay they saw that their progress was being kept track of. Percentages popped up as they picked up things and killed Nazis. Evidently they had a good time with it as by the end of their game they had killed 639 evil Nazis and gotten through about 36 percent of the game (or more likely they were put into the game that far along).

What does this all mean? Well, by doing some simple math they've discovered the exact number of Nazis that are going to die in Wolfenstein. Numbers such as these don't come along that often, people! The game will even let you keep track of how you've killed Nazis, my favorite being dissolved. So how many Nazis die? 1,638... I suppose I ruined that suprise by putting it in the headline. Well, whatever, I'm sure that's not an official number anyway.

Using this same math, the game will last exactly 12 hours, 13 minutes, and 20 seconds. MATH!

I'm going to have to count this as false math, are they saying every single enemy in the game MUST be killed in order to move forward?

If we're talking "average", which is basically another way of saying "guessing" then sure.

@Volomon: I'm pretty sure this is a joke.

This math doesn't work out exactly unless the number of nazis killed is directly proportionate to the completed percentage of the game. In other words, the game would count how far along you are by how many nazis you have killed.

Regardless, this does give you one good tidbit about the game.
ALOT OF MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS ARE GOING TO DIE!!! BOOYAH!!

That is all.

639 - 36%%
??? - 100%

639 x 100 = 63900

63900 / 36 = 1775

Your math fails. A simple rule of thre kicked your ass. Bow down to my 4th grade math skills!!

so, yeah, heres the definitive math(assuming a constant flow of nazis throughout)

(639/36)100 = 1775
4:24:58=264.9666min
(264.9666/36)100 = 736.0185185(12:16:01)

so...1775 kills in 12h 16m 1s...so, approx. 1700 nazis in 12hrs.
or, approx. 140 nazis an hour(or 115 +the occasional boss fight?)
or, approx. 2.3 nazis a sec.(or 2.1 +the occasional boss fight?)

So it's also shaping up to be about 12 hours of campaign?

Hahaha, that is so great. I love killing Nazis. I could, and probably have, kill nazis all day long and do nothing else. They need a revival like Zombies have seen recently.

Put more Zombies and Nazis together please >:-)
