Its because its his name. B.J. Blazkowicz, gamers should be paying homeage to this franchise for that character. He is the originator in the fps genre that stared in the very first popular fps game back in the 90s. Wolfenstein 3d. Without this there would be no call of duty, Halo and Killzone games.

Or maybe is it because the game is ugly, the AI is laughable, the gameplay is all but original and the campaign pretty short. I don't know.
