1943, Amsterdam. The second world war has been raging for 4 years, most of which the Dutch have spent under German rule. Rick Steel, the son of a Portuguese mother and an American father, finds himself threatened with execution once more by the local SS soldiers. As he sits on his bed, planning his escape, a fat, balding guard walks by. "I can't wait to see you in line!" He quips, knowing full well that Rick will be standing in front of a firing squad.

As the guard proceeds out of sight, the sound of his footsteps begin to fade and then, for a moment, seem to double. Seconds later, the body of the guard lays slumped on the floor. Rick began to rise from his bed, just as a figure appeared, a key already poised to unlock the door. "Ah, are you the American?" Rick nodded his agreement. "Good, come with me, we're getting you out of here. And try to be quiet."


And then they go blow up everything and everyone in Amsterdam and play horrible minigames in the heart of the red light district.

Well, the psychological aspect would be an interesting dimension to explore both in story and as a mechanic to use against the South Vietnamese gov / US forces in the area. Start the game by going back to all the way into Dien Bien Phu, where our protagonist as an 18 year old is assigned to disrupt the French forces by any means necessary. By the end, he is enjoying a fine bottle of wine he stole from a French officer, loss of which has caused the officer to have a total mental breakdown and thus, given his comrades the opportunity to seize the advantage and force them to surrender.

You joke about elephants in Paris but there was the Elephant of the bastille that existed between 1813 and 1846 and the Elephant in Montmartre, more specifically in the Moulin Rouge's garden, was very real indeed. I am not sure if it was still around during WWII though, it was torn down at some point.

According to: http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.ca/2013/06/monumental-elephants-in-french-public.html

It states that it was torn down before World War 2. Still, I appreciate the fact that Not-Moulin-Rouge (A.K.A. The Belle de Nuit) and the nearby Elephant of Montmartre pay tribute to it. I never saw any elephants when I visited the city, but it would've been cool!



Anyone know where the Café Rouge is?

Nothing in the game mentions that, funnily enough, and there's no incentive to check that corner out. It also disappeared on me, as I'm sure there were times where I was in the Belle but had no icon there.

In any case, I only got to it after finishing the game so expect a bonus episode at some point showing off what's inside.

Dying outside missions causes you to lose your guns and a lot of ammo, to a point. It is different for each gun and it makes no sense. Dying during missions is game-breaking.

RIP Jules, we knew thee well.

Dying outside of missions loses you all your guns and grenades, but not your dynamite and RDX. I believe you're right on losing ammo, but I never keep track of it so I couldn't tell you if its a percentage or a flat number. Then again, I'm the jerk who plays Counter-Strike and never buys a gun because its easier just picking one up off a corpse :v:

And dying during a mission isn't game breaking, and I like the way they handle it since it doesn't tale away the tools you need to actually complete the mission. Its like GTA where dying during a mission just sets you back at a checkpoint whereas dying during freeplay sends you to the hospital with a small penalty.

All guns are free after the first time you buy them, and they all come with one free magazine. It's really not an issue.

As far as I remember the whole point of the midnight show for me is a gambling minigame where you can win a gold plated pimp-mobile. not even making this up.

Dying during missions returns your ammo to what you started with. Go crazy with explosives, die, go crazier. Money is no longer an issue.

Yeah, but you'd be a fool to do the entire map or extremely long portions during a mission just to save on some explosives $$$.

Aside from a very small number of items, explosives are the cheapest items in the game.

Because the Foreign Legion is French to begin with. According to wikipedia, French citizens can join the French Foreign Legion, and the units have French commanders. Since Le Crochet is a commander, its only natural that he be a Pirate.

I know this is an episode late but if those Birt bombers were flying low enough for the shadows to be that big then they should have all been dead already. That being said how many problems in this game can't be solved by throwing more explosives at them?

Well, if we accept that firearms shoot via controlled explosion propelling a projectile towards a target, and an engine as a small explosion generating energy and so on, then, yes. Everything is solved in this game by (more) explosions! :eng101:

I assume its just the cleaning rod you'd normally see on a Mauser (Kar 98k), but the artist wanted/needed to make it different so they made it longer.





Then again, if all the rifles are carbine versions, then they'd be the normal size.

This is a really fun game. I've played the hell out of it more than once. It's one of those games that's better than the sum of its parts. In particular, the stealth, the verticality, the visuals, and the sound design all work together nicely and makes wandering around exploding nazis really engaging.

There are a lot of things to blow up but you'll be exploding things by the dozen to get contraband. I suppose you could do missions and get contraband that way too. Much like JC2, you make your own fun. At some point you're going to drive around in a tank just cause' or the devs shouldn't have made them drivable. :colbert:

There is one achievement in particular that is locked behind missions and it helps in a big way. It's one of the few reasons you'd want to go into the countryside. Getting 100% in JC2, The Saboteur and Assassin Creed games is just plain tedious.
