"Enemy at the gates", beloved cinema in West :)

The collar is the way it is as it was taken from the game - NOT a custom infantry model (which would have had to be re-animated).

[Aouch]

EatG it's just a Hollywood film. 
Why are there allways people who can't guess the difference between a film and a documentary? It's the same for SPR.
Great movies but nothing to do with reality. It's cinema after all, it's meant to entertain people and not to teach them history-lessons. 

On the other hand, there great films, like mentioned "Stalingrad" or that finnish film about "Talvisota", I think that's also how it's named.

Dragon93:

Yep, I understand, let it bu with collar up (weird but... let him be "mad Major").

But pls add him epoulettes and remove red ranks from collar pls, so he would be 43-45 oppicers uniform (as all other SA soldiers in game).

Better watch this:

"Hot snow", film 1972.

The Hot Snow (English subtitles). Part 1/10.

First combat of soviet artillery against massive actions of Tiger, december 1942, Stalingrad, Mansteinn deblocking attack.

The Hot Snow is a really good film.

Soviet films may not have a good battle scenes and the "action", but are perfect for movies on the game engine in the campaign (between battles).

lol nice sig

The Carentan campaign level opening cinematic was based completely off Band of Brothers, wih them going through a swamp at dawn then moving into Carentan to be ambushed by a German MG in a cafe at 1:20, I mean, even the Call of Duty MP maps from the the 1st and 2nd game bears a resemblance to the "Cafe Normandie" scene.
CoH
Company of Heroes Carentan Cinematic
In the movie:
Band of Brothers - Carentan

And I'm sure the first campaign level at Omaha Beach has referances to Saving Private Ryan.

So even the original game pays Homage to movies, and I don't think the EF Devs could've helped themselves from putting an Enemy at the Gates referance in.

The movie was based on WWII.

The game is based on WWII.

OMG, what a coincidence! : )

Seriously though you are right about the Saving Private Ryan thing - but the Captain from CoH is based on Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) in Saving Private Ryan, they both lead companys into the beach, his speech on the boat was the same as Miller's, and they both get killed by a Tank (actualy, Miller dies from a gunshot to the chest, probably internal bleeding, but he died facing a tank..).

Wouldn't know about Band of Brothers I havn't seen it but I think maybe I should rent it tonight... : D

The Captain's are based on each other - not the missions.. But your right nonetheless..

LEGO Battle of Stalingrad

LEGO Battle of Stalingrad
LOL

Most of that stuff is based off the first two CoD 1 levels. Ah good memories, I was like "wtf! He didn't give me a rifle!" when I first played it.

LEGO Battle of Stalingrad
LOL

That is f*king awesome.

Its a fucking shame that no one has thought about making a movie depicting both Vasily Zaytsev and the Wehrmacht sniper in anti-hollywood style.

Don't get me wrong I thought the movie was pretty good but could had been way better if they had actually put more time into character development and maybe better depiction of the battle.

Of course that would mean that you may have to switch between western and eastern front on the movie which would be tricky.
