The 2008 Wolfenstein's creators included Pi Studios, the idiots who made the level Blowtorch and Corkscrew in CoD: World at War, for God's sake.

It's actually Bethesda Softworks. It looks like them and Id are now owned by the same parent company. (And I thought they turned Megatron into Galvatron to sell more toys. I don't think he ever went back to being Megatron in the old Sunbow series.)
