      Eh, big... small... the important thing is to shove your eye so far down against the stock of the gun that you lose half your field of vision to the brick-like silhouette of the gun's frame. Receiver. Whatever you call the shooty bang bang part behind the barrel. And also the sight sticking up over it, which totally makes up for all the lost awareness, especially when moving down stairs or shooting at dudes in lower floors of a building across the street or something. 10/10 modern game design trope right there.

      I also had the unfortunate honor of playing this game when it was distributed in my country, for the PS3 in my case. I saw the title, though the premise was great and bought it. One of my worst mistakes. This is one of these shooters who you end up leaving without completing because neither the story is well written and you want to see the ending or you like the gameplay. It seems like a very rushed up game. The weird thing is that the developer, Spark Unlimited, made its debut just four years before with "Call of Duty: The finest hour". How the hell do you go from "there" to "here"?

    While the game itself is bland, the lore to this game is pretty cool.
    The weapons are basically modernized German WW2 guns and vehicles as apposed to the zany cyborgs and robots of other alt-history games like this.
    Also, I do appreciate the attention to the little details: if you look up in the sky, the jets bombing New York are based off Horten’s Amerika bomber prototype. There escorted by modernized descendants of the me-262 jet fighter.
    The tanks you see later are based off E-50 and E-100 super tanks, and a lot of uniforms, while fictional, look like something the Nazi would wear around the 1950s, if they survived.

Everyone knows nazis are bad, it had nothing to do with killing nazis. It could have been a game about killing fucking lambent from GOW and it still would have drawn ire for leveraging itself into political spaces as a marketing ploy, along with having a terribly uninspired character roster of whom clearly a good chunk are there to tick the diversity boxes.

    Holy shit, I've been looking for this game for years. I remember seeing it on Xbox live when checking out game demos and stuff, and while this one didn't have a demo, the screenshots and premise looked neat. After that I just forgot about it, except for the few times it popped back into memory, but I couldn't remember what it was. I asked so many people about it irl and online, but never got the answer so I was convinced I had just made it up, since memory tends to mush different ideas together. Weird seeing it more than a decade later and finding out it was actually real.

    "Yellow is such a cool new color"
    Prussian-dominated Germany has always been black and white dominant, with a splash of red.
    Some states were blue and white dominant, yet others used the black, red and gold color options, as those were the coat of arms colors for the previous empire.
    Hapsburg Austria was the one that was black and gold dominant. Russians copied that and added white.
    Gold was also the branch color for Luftwaffe pilots and paratroopers, so that might be the deal with the zeppelins and paras using gold.

    All joking aside, I think the art direction for this game was pretty solid even if literally nothing else was. If I wanted a 'Nazis invade America' FPS that isn't crazy like Wolfenstein, I'd want something with art direction like this.

    It's so weird they made a MP40 successor called the MP50, when the Germans probably would have switched all their soldiers to a more streamlined version of the MP44 by 1953, or maybe some type of FG42 variant.

    • @NexusKin
      @NexusKin 2 роки тому +42

      The original MP40 was an extremely effective close-combat submachine gun that could be produced relatively cheaply compared to either the MP44 or FG42. So, it would make sense that the Germans would want to expand upon its capabilities to create the MP50 in this game.

      Well, you’d think that, but having learned more about the StG’s development I’m not so sure. The development program that eventually became the StG was almost cancelled 3 times because Mustache Man thought it was a dumb idea. What he wanted was every soldier to be equipped with a scoped semi-auto rifle. The first time he was presented with the MKb, what would eventually develop into the StG, he basically went, “Well this cartridge won’t be effective out to the same range as a full-power rifle, so I don’t want it.” But the people running the program still felt it was a worthwhile idea, so kept working on it and presented it again later, and he basically went, “No, it’s still not want I want, just like I said last time.” But they STILL felt like it was a good idea, so they ordered a relatively small scale production of it and then tried to present it a third time, and the response was, “No, I’ve rejected this twice already, you guys need to stop working on this *now.* Stop wasting my time and resources on this,” and he only relented when it was pointed out that the production order was almost complete and it’d be easier to just finish the guns than to scrap them, and by the way the Soviets are starting to push us back out of Russia so we need every gun we can get. Only after the absolutely glowing reports of how the gun was performing in the field did he finally begrudgingly agree to make more of them, but even then only as a replacement for the MP-40.
      I feel like it’s entirely possible that in an alt-history setting, especially one where Germany wasn’t struggling so much, he could have succeeded in shutting down the program.
      As for the FG, ehhhh maybe? The FG was an amazing weapon, but also really complicated and expensive, and designed for a rather niche roll of combination rifle-LMG that’s small enough to jump out of a plane with. The paratroopers absolutely would be using a modernized version of it, but if it remained just as complicated and expensive as the original, I doubt the army would have wanted to commit to something so resource demanding for how many soldiers they’d need to equip. The Luftwaffe was only really able to get away with the FG because there weren’t a whole ton of paratroopers, so they didn’t need a whole lot of rifles.
