    I remember playing MoH for the first time over 20 years ago. The Omaha beach sequence was and is so intense. I can only but imagine how it was for the soldiers that were actually there. All the honor to them and their sacrifice. Operation Overlord must have been hell on Earth.

    This level floored me completely when it came out. I knew every inch of every corner of this map at some point. Playing it again today, nearly 20 years later was such a weird experience. I remember it looking so realistic, but now it's like first person The Sims Warfare. Still love those old sound effects and explosions though.

    • @HowlingWolf518
      @HowlingWolf518 Рік тому +10

      The level design, audio and camera shaking really makes for a more intense experience than the newer Call of Dutys. Sure, it's prettier now, but it's basically just "press X to dodge the MG42" - you make it off the beach in three minutes or less, which is lame.

      ​@@HowlingWolf518 That's kind of ironic, ain't it? Awful level design, compass, dragging player by their hand and first of the many failed attempts to build a mil-sim game by completelly butchering the game mechanics and introducing ridiculous screen effects to make the crap look realistic (but somehow it looks like something built on HL1 engine, despite running on idTech3). It's all there, this is where it all started. I'm almost impressed by how many of the things I hate about many modern games they managed to do 20 years ago.

      No you're all wrong. Forgotten Hope did it 10000x better. It's a mod for Battlefield 1942 and when it was at its peak and that the D-Day map was full, 64 players, it was absolutely amazing! You even needed to C4 the doors of the bunkers! Forgotten Hope was really the best WWII experience I ever had. The devs were so passionate about everything they were making, they were even recording real sound effects for guns and tanks, they were even checking old ''blueprints'' of certain vehicles in order to remake them as authentic as possible. They also made a sequel, Forgotten Hope 2, for BF2 and I think you can play it online and there are still players playing it!

He told everyone, who wanted, to try the Omaha beach landing to get a feel for how intense it mustve been back then. He broke several cods and laws by doing this - but he knew the game and wanted to show us. Damn he was such a cool teacher =)

    The defensive line against tanks was made in the Czech Republic. Hitler made a fortune on the Czech fortifications. Those iron hedgehogs were called - rozsocháč. When the Czech Republic surrendered to Hitler, Adolf needed to test the strength of the Czech bunkers, and during the tests, they confiscated a lot of equipment from the Czechs, including iron hedgehogs. They helped American soldiers as a cover from gunfire from sniper bunkers on the hill.
    The Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach was a suicide attack on the German defensive lines, which were largely made up of Czech equipment..

      Not at all. If you get behind cover as the bullets make their way to you (and you have plenty of time to react because they shoot the ground way ahead of you first) just like the video shows, you’ll only be hit a few times. Anyone that thinks this mission is hard are simply playing it incorrectly.
      Besides, “sniper town” is the hardest mission by far if you don’t know where to look.

      So getting Nazi disguises to break into their headquarters, sneaking aboard a U-Boat, destroying a gas plant, stealing a tiger tank are all things regular soldiers do huh?

    This game had grittier and more visceral gunplay than call of duty with a higher skill curve.
