Flea's work is really amazing.
It makes you wish CRS would have similar talent themselves. Thier product can't match that avi in any way and that's just sad.
The avi is, however, very tale telling.
Even the great musical score and background story can't hide the blazing flaws in the game. For example the movement animations of the characters are funniest I've ever seen in any recent game.. The first person view looked like the guy was chopping karate punches while he was running, fingers first lol.
Second thing that really caught my eye was the lack of any explosion effect with gunshots. They kept blasting away with tanks, field guns, nades etc.. But you couldn't see any explosions anywhere. Even the bullets hitting the ground had a bigger effect visually..
Third thing was the eagerness the player was blasting the tank with his rifle.. That must mean there is a flaw in damage modelling which enables the riflemen actually damage the tank.
It's the story of WW2OL in a box. Great big drama, big promises - but once you get inside you get disappointed. Nothing like advertised..
