Operation: Overkill

Edit

Operation: Overkill is a map set for registered Wolfenstein, made by Randall Penn. It was released on June 26, 1994.

Genesis[]

The set was also featured in the Wolfmaster set as set F. Whether Operation: Overkill had been released on its own before its inclusion in the Wolfmaster set is not certain, as they both were released relatively simultaneously.

Description[]

The 10 new levels are played in Episode 1, though textures prevalent in all episodes are featured, as well all the different guards. Most of the levels feature the absolute maximum of 149 enemies, making indeed for overkill.

Storyline[]

The story so far...

Our hero is Lt. Col. Charles "Chunk" Pylon, secret agent for U.S. Army Intelligence.  Dropped behind enemy lines to investigate an unusually high concentration of troops, Chunk has made a chilling discovery: in order to bring about their quest for world domination, the Nazis have brought together two of their most hideous creations.  By breeding Hans and Greta, the two giant mutants produced in the labs of the evil Dr. Schabbs, they hope to spawn a race of incredibly powerful, unstoppable fighting machines. Battalions of Hans and Gretas would be sent into combat against Allied soldiers, sweeping them aside and trampling all hope of an Allied victory.
Col. Pylon learns from the Resistance that Greta has been brought to Castle Schmenge in the Black Forest, not far from his hideout; Hans is due to arrive any day.  The castle, a museum and popular tourist attraction before the war, has been turned into an armed camp, teeming with over a thousand crack German troops. Although Dr. Schabbs has yet to arrive from Berlin, Greta's presence has the Castle in a state of high tension; the soldiers are edgy and trigger-happy.  If anything happens to Greta before Hans and the Doctor arrive, they've been told, Schmenge's dungeons will echo with their screams...

Horrified, Chunk notifies headquarters by radio of what he's learned. Hours later, the reply: infiltrate Castle Schmenge and terminate the experiment. The Nazis' evil plans must fail, he is told, or the Allies cannot hope to win the war. Destroy Greta at all costs; if possible, eliminate Hans as well. Regrettably, Dr. Schabbs is not expected to arrive for several more days, so his life will be spared; the plan cannot wait for him. The Resistance provide Chunk with a set of tourist maps of the castle, purchased at the castle's gift shop before the war. Of course, these maps only show the general layout of each floor; they don't reveal the locations of troops, items, or secret rooms, and some details have been left out, or have changed in the years since the castle once again became a military installation.  Chunk is smuggled in the back of a refuse truck to the castle's side entrance; armed only with a 9mm pistol, he cautiously slips into Castle Schmenge and begins to execute his assignment.  After the war, future generations of DIA operatives studying Agent Pylon's dossier would refer to it as...
...Operation: Overkill.
