It's just a damn gun!



Ok so I beat the F'nah outta this game. Disappointing to me though, the game went total mainstream. Not focused on squad based tactics.

Pretty much you just have your squads lay down fire and have yourself pick off every kraut you see. The game feels more drama for your mama mixed with an original fps along with some one-man-hero-Forrest Gump.

So here's how it goes:

You start off landing and you kill dudes then that's when you, Sgt. Matt Baker, start having psychological problems. Some of your men die which aid that problem, then you're in a hospital chasing after a Pvt. Franky because he ran in there to kill germans and save a girl. Along the way you need to snipe a billion germans just to save a kid AKA John Rambo Jr. because the kid caps off every damn german he sees. Blah Blah Blah all the way to the last mission.

Ok the last mission, I was expecting a really intense fight such as defending from countless german counter-attacks. No! Instead you play as SQUID MAN blowing shit up in a tank. Not even, kill a few germans here and a few Panzers there and BAM! Game finished. After that there's the final cutscene which shows you that your best friend, Sgt. Joe "Red" Hartsock, is now paralyzed and is going to be sent home. Then you sit against a tree and have a conversation with a dead man that gives you a hint..

"So Matthew. You just survived through hell, what do you feel about snow?"

I already know, The Battle of the Bulge. WTF!? I know it's going to be way over the top with more of this psychology bull crap because all we did was just sit on our asses during the snow! A whole game based on sitting on our asses and listening to dead people and bitching from your squad that hates you because you kept a juicy secret from them? Oh yeah, let me tell you the secret that made Matt's whole squad hate him.

In the first game you lose two of your men that was heart breaking, not mainstream. They died under the command of a radioman named Legett, he was the dead man having a conversation with Matt. In this game it shows a cutscene where Legett tells you how they died. The two guys were Allen and Garnett.

They were patrolling until Legett gets into a verbal fight with Allen, obviously shouting so loud enemies can hear them. So Legett gets really pissed and punches Allen in the FACE that sends Allen falling to the ground. Garnett tells them to quiet it until he gets shot in the FACE! Allen then runs and stabs a german in the neck but gets shot in his gut. He stumbles back over to Legett to pick up his gun and shoots the german because the german's gun jammed. Then Allen says "Sorry Legett.." and dies there.

Ok so basically Legett got them both killed and told this to Matt. Matt said to him to keep it a secret from everyone because if they found out they would kill Legett. Legett told some british guy, found out in this game and not in the previous two, who fights for the allies, ok.. The british guy threatens to tell the squad if Matt doesn't first, so Matt tells the squad.

Summary: MAINSTREAM DRAMA FOR YOUR MAMA BS!
