If you collect every piece of silver in one of the nightmare levels it unlocks something in your collection for that level. When you get every piece during the first dream it'll unlock a character model.
As to where to find secrets in the dreams, I've just been walking along walls that don't have rooms adjacent to them. A button prompt will pop up and there's always more than one per map.

why am I not be able to see the game's steam app on my profile? seems achievements are going to be hidden from public view as a result.
You were too far away from the box impact point. It's a little touchy. Either move closer first or manually switch to a melee weapon before attacking.
First two chapters were pretty easy on Uber.

I beat the entire game on Uber and never thought it was difficult. You just have too many weapons and too much ammo to ever get into a tough spot. Even the final boss is a cakewalk once you actually think about the mechanics that you can use.
Should be noted I beat the final boss of New Order on the first try. Only thing I can think of is playing with a mouse just makes the game easy compared to the console versions.

On console and on higher difficulties, that final boss in TNO was such a bullet sponge. I don't know if it was difficult per se, but man he didn't die easy.

Really loving this expansion. And yes, BJ is a hilarious character. It helps that the supporting cast, dialogue (and german) is always top-notch.

I just circle strafed while picking up armor drops, worked out pretty well. The final boss in The Old Blood is a bit more mechanically interesting at the least.
How is the German performed for those who speak the language?

Downloading now. Can't wait until I get home. After beating TNO I always felt the game needed more. Hopefully this will satisfy that. I love the fact this and the TNO are single-player only, too. I just wish there was more replayability. But I'm all for single-player focused games.

I remember having a real terrible time with the first part, getting to the AA guns.

Absolutely loved it. Returning to Castle Wolfenstein was just what the doctor ordered after TNO. Lots and lots of natzies to kill in this one. BJ for President.

You have to change the difficulty of the Challenge Map. Gold medals don't become available until "I Am Death Incarnate."
Thanks for this! Seeing a Character silhouette, but having the game report to me that I completed X/X Characters for the Chapter was driving me insane!

It's insane how much this harkens back to Return to Castle Wolfenstein at times (I mean, you could consider it a remake, no?)
I concur. I don't know if there's more enemies in certain scenarios or what, but each soldier poses a genuine threat to you.
The "grammar Nazi" dialogue bit was great.

There was too much RTCW DNA there to ignore. Tram? Village? Keep? Oh yeah.
Thanks for the tip man,also got pass this section on the first try after doing what you mentionned with the turret lol...so use to grabbing it and in TNO,you could remount it to reload it also so I had almost forgotten that you can just use it like a turret.

Likewise. It was a cliché, but the mission had a good flow to it and it set the story-related stakes nicely.

Yeah I toned down the difficulty a notch and I'm having a lot more fun already, while the game still remains challenging.

Not a problem. I seriously came to this thread with the sole intent of at the very least discussing that section, and sure enough your post was the most recent one and made me feel better about the fact I was not the only one struggling with that section.
I also did the same thing in TNO with the turrets. Interesting how a specific style of play could affect a single section like that one so dramatically. I have to believe it was intentionally done by the developer. They knew that most people just rip the turret off and said to themselves lets fuck with people and see how long it takes people to figure it out.

It's not the best part of the game - by a long shot - but people seem to be consistently hyperbolic about how bad they think it is. I certainly preferred the more action-oriented opening of The New Order as opposed to the slow burn of The Old Blood.

I thought it was great. Old-fashioned castle infiltration before everything gets fucked up. The part where you're mowing down enemies in the trenches was a highlight.
Also does BJ ever get a shirt? Or does he just commit to the Ahnuld look the whole way through?
Bloody amazing game. I like this more than TNO, but hey, I'm a sucker for super natural stuff and Old Blood sure has a lot crazy stuff.
Like zombies, man those bastards run fast. I turned around to see are there any enemies behind me, when I turn back. This ugly zombie is in my face, almost got a heart attack
Old Blood is a lot harder.

Am I crazy, or is there no hotkey for the sawed-off shotgun? I checked the key bindings in the menu and didn't see one.

so i wasn't as enamored by TNO as a lot of the rest of you. is this better or worse? or just more of the same?
Pretty much more of the same.

Definitely more of the same. Different in some thematic ways and with the addition of a few gameplay elements, but still got the same feel as TNO.

Connecting the pipe together is way more satisfying than it should be.
You can't do this until chapter 6.
Smack zombies in the head with the pipe and then their heads explode.
I haven't figured it out either. I always end up doing one of the takedown animations that stab. Maybe the pipe gets an upgrade later on?
I think there's one in every chapter.

You collect a lot of "Old Silver"...to what end, I do not yet know.
Think it was mentioned earlier that finding all of the Old Silver in a level will unlock some collectible(the final missing one on the chapter select I believe). Beating the nightmare levels has trophies attached as well.
No one has figured out what it does yet, have they?

Playing the nightmare levels reminds me what a slog Wolfenstein 3D can be these days.
