Man I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan. First time I watched it since I started playing MOHAA. Was MOHAA based on that movie? I know it was the same war and all but the background of the battle scenes are eeriely similar to the MOHAA single player game. Coincidence?

Just wondering.

like i said onvent last night factor most of the level designers worked with the special FX and architects from saving private ryan, same thing with MOH: Frontline for ps2. thats why they look so similar.

I read the developers of MOH actually took the game to Spielberg for his comments. He liked it.

On the D-Day level, it's no coincidence that the captain sounds like Tom Hanks and even adopts lines straight from the movie.

Saucy is right about COD and Enemy at the Gates. BTW, if you liked Enemy at the Gates (I didn't), a much better and cooler account is War of the Rats, a novel by Dave Robbins. Lots of sniper duels and techniques layed out, and the shitty love story isn't so cornball (although it really did exist).
