Have ever the same feeling when Im looking at this scene.
Its amazing.And I can imagine that on the 6 June 1944, it was more horrible as in SPR. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/frown.gif

And yes, I can imagine that in 7 days, I would be this guy. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/tongue.gif

"Better you than me" (Full Metall Jacket)

what were the real average distance between the shore and the site the higgin(sp) boat dropped them off to that of the virtual distance we will have to travel in the game?

Hard to tell. The distance differed a lot because the beaches are smaller at some places and larger at others.

I've looked from the top of the dunes at Colleville-sur-mer towards Omaha Beach and the beach you had to cross there was pretty large.

I hear EA sent a few guys to the actual beaches to draw some scale, maps etc. and yeah Zman I hate it when nerds and WWII buffs yell out in the middle of the movie SPR
"Oh that NEVER would have happened"
"Oh man THAT uniform is NOT authentic"
"Pfft, impossible!"
"That vehicle has the wrong insignia on the bonnet!"
Why don't THEY try and make a movie? Fucking stressful being Director/Producer of a big time Hollywood film.

IMHO Spielburg did a kick arse job in SPR

Well. I haven't to all http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif I've seen Normandy, Bretagne, Arnhem/Nijmegen, Remagen, Ardennes (not to see where the offense took place) and a few more, but not all.

Just remember that the real Normandy was the farthest thing from a "game" or "fun" you can imagine. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/frown.gif
