Call of Duty 2 - Getting Off The Beach...

[F3Hadlow]

"As we approached the beaches I felt a sense of sickness, both nerves and from the motion of the boat which swayed with every pulsing wave and explosion. Whilst several of my comrades exchanged banter around me I said nothing. My mouth was dry as a bone as I thought about home and the good times. But that was before this war began and all hell broke loose. Finally we began to draw close to the beach as Sarge gave us a last brief before the platform lowered on our vessel and opened the door to the nightmare world that lay before us."






"The platform lowered and immediatly bullets were zinging around us like angry bees, except these angry bees were lethal. If chaos was a place than this truly would have been it, with screams of my comrades mingled with the sound of explosions and gunshots it was a nightmare, except this nightmare was all too real."









"Finally I managed to scramble to the dunes where hastily thrown ropes led the way up to the top and the German positions. Despite falling bodies above me I maintained my grip and made it to the top. When I reached the top of the dune I risked a short look back and thought "That truly was hell."



My first attempt at a little screenshot story writing

Ever seen Saving Privat Ryan?

Yes I certainly have. Best war film ever made in my opinion.

nice shots...saving pvt ryan was a smashing movie...i've watched it several times now...cod2 is quite a good game too.

Nice story, but I have to disagree. The best war film of all time is not Saving Private Ryan- WAAAAAAAY too Americanised. Lets go for something like The Battle of Britain, or maybe even Downfall.

I agree with Saving Private Ryan having some of this so called Americanizing in it.
But it was aimed at an American audience, so no surprise there.
As for best war movie, I nominate Das Boot.

Saving Private Ryan is friggin awesome!  ;)

As for best war movie, I nominate Das Boot.

I couldnt agreee any more  ;D  Das Boot is an amazing movie.. and shows the 'other view' of the war  :)  And then there is still an oldie but still great 'The longest day'  8)

The landing shown in that James Ryan movie was exactly redone in Medal of Honor: Allied Assoult. You really played it as they did it in the movie. Same at Duel: Enemy at the Gates, that stalingrad movie, the scene getting over the river was really an exact copy from the movie. Quite interesting to play though.

Wonderful shots F3!!
Why does everyone have CoD2 and I don't?
Anyway, that was the beach landing at Point Du Hoc, wasn't it?

Don't get shot too much!!

P.S. I nominate "Dambusters" as the best WWII movie

[F3Hadlow]

Cheers for the nice comments all.

As for the best war films those are all great nominations you make. Das Boot really is an amazing film, far and away the king of submarine films by far, beats that history bending rubbish 'U571' for sure!

das boot is great, as well as privat ryan, and I can understand the americanised thing, but my best war movie would be "we were young... and soldiers". first because it is not a fiction and because I read the book before watching the movies, it's a hardly heartbraking book... I recommend it.
there are lots of classic movie, apocalypse now, platoon, the red line, stalingrad, full metal jacket, blackhawk down, memphis bell, etc... all very good!!!

Wonderful Shots, Thats The Only Part Of That Game I Enjoyed, The Mulitplayer Is No Where As Fun As CoD:UO
